Cendol
Half a century ago, cendol was taken as a cooling
dessert on scorching hot days. Cendol is a mix of brown sugar, locally called
as Gula Melaka, mung beans, rice flour, coconut milk, and shaved ice. The star
ingredient in the cendol dessert is the green worm-like jelly. Although
worm-like, everyone is going after the Teo Chew Cendol in Penang and the Durian
Cendol in Melaka or the Burning Cendol in Kuala Selangor. Facing the South
China Sea is the Mustafa Cendol.
More great cendol makers in Melaka are the Aunty Koh’s
Cendol in Bukit Rambai, Melaka located next to the Bukit Rambai Secondary
School. If you are near to Lorong Hang Jebat, Melaka, enjoy your cendol at the
East & West Rendezvous Ice Café. Jonker88@Jonker Street let you distinguish
the Baba cendol with the others.
You can also select to enjoy your cendol in some
Baba-Nyonya restaurants, or hotels within the Melaka’s heritage zone.
