PENANG: Penang Famous Cendul Street


 When i was up in Penang i was told about this place, Penang Famous Cendul Street. However there are few shops here selling the same thing, but u will noticed only one stall, The queue is extra long, up to the streets. I have always believe this, when the queue is long u know the food is good, hahaha.

Located in Chow Rasta, its a shopping spot for tourist as they sell traditional Penang stuffs. Just take a turn to Lebuh Keng Kwee, u will find this street. The Cendul cost about RM1.90 a bowl.

Well, it just looks like any ordinary cendol. It contains the usual cendol jelly, santan, brown sugar and kidney beans. And of course crushed ice. With me being a foreigner to Penang - i would say that its rather OK - Not drop dead good, had better ones in Melaka (Cendul with authentic Gula Melaka). I have to say that it is quite good. I feel that its quality is inconsistent, but that could be due to factors such as weather and my thirst the time I eat it. The ingredients they use are quite fresh. I would recommend it to visitors to Penang to try it out.
Besides cendol, they have Ais Kacang (ABC) which is pretty good as well. It contains crushed ice, the usual colouring and flavouring (syrup, evaporated milk), corn, "cin cau", some type of green jelly, and of course red kidney beans (kacang).

How to get there: It is located on Lebuh Keng Kwee, off Penang Road. It is a walking distance from Komtar and Prangin Mall. The landmark I can describe best is the 5-branch overhead pedestrian bridge. If you can't find it, just ask anyone and I'm sure they can point you right to it. Parking can be a little bit difficult. I suggest that you find any parking spot along Penang Road or near Komtar and walk.

If Phua Chu Kang had been here, u would want to be here.... hahaha.

Ratings: 80% (Highly recommended)

The operation hours of the stalls are from 10am to 7:30pm daily but may close earlier depending on the availability of the ingredients.

DrE here wishing u Bon Appetite!!!
