Dessert


Hey Friends! Tongue of Fury here continuing with my best of Penang reviews. My journey now takes me to Penang Road, where the famous Teo Chew Cendol is located.

The Stall

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First thing I noticed about the stall… chinese people. Second thing I noticed… they spelt Cendol as Chendul, I’m pretty sure its the same thing though. And I never knew there is such a thing as Teo Chew Cendol; Does anyone out there know a place where I can find Hai-Nan? Hmm… yes… lame pun… move on…. You can either order direct from the stall outside or from the friendly waiters inside the kopitiam. I heard its more expensive to order from inside. Anyone who knows please let me know.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Cendol came in a little plastic bowl with a metal spoon. At first glance it looked like any other cendol. However it turn out to be pretty good. The flavour was just nice, not too sweet which many Cendol stalls are guilty of. There is also a good amount of Santan which adds to the taste. My only complaint is that there weren’t enough shaved ice. I was tempted to get a 2nd bowl but decided agaisnt it for there were still a bowl of Asam Laksa and Char Kuey Teow waiting for me. That will of course be in my next review.

Give this Cendol a try when you’re at Penang, if you’re a Cendol fan, like Lorong Selamat Char Kuey Teow, this is not to be missed.

 

[Ratings]

After a gluttonous day of eating, what better way to top it all of but with excellent desserts. Across the street from the bean sprout chicken triangle, we spotted a small little shop serving tau foo fah and soya bean drinks.

 

Where is it?
?It is right opposite the bean sprout chicken triangle, where the daily night market happens everyday.

What is it?
Tau foo fah is a custard like dessert made from soy beans. It is quite tasteless in general and is served with sugar syrup or brown sugar syrup. The special here is a black soy bean tau foo fah. This one is made from black soy beans (don’t ask me what is black soy bean)

 

How was it? (9/10)
The tau foo fah was excellent, smooth as a new born baby’s ass. It melts in your mouth. Here, there is an option of three types of syrup, Normal, brown sugar or ginger syrup. I had mine with ginger syrup and it was the best in my opinion.

How Much was it?
RM0.70 for normal tau foo fah and RM1.00 for black soy bean version. Too damn cheap if you ask me.

Will you return?
Hell YEAH!!!!

On the 29th of July, a Malaysian Food Review team comprised of myself, SekSun, Pengkritik Makanan, Bottomless Pit, LAMBorghini & Pukemon made its way to beautiful Perak on an all-out eating trip.

Bottomless Pit got things underway by tempting us with some Ice Kacang that he claimed was the best he’d ever had. So we stopped by Restoran Foong Mun Kee in Kampar to put it to the test.

We settled on the ‘Original Ice Kacang’, even though some of us were hankering for the Special Ice Kacang which had ice cream on top. The original one costs RM2.50 per bowl.

These ice kacang makers must have dropped their standards, because all of us agreed that it was pretty average. The ‘Original Ice Kacang’ did not have quite enough milk or cendol, and even attap chee (palm fruit) was missing. Bottomless Pit paid the price for overrating this place, as he was forced to foot the bill.


Bottomless Pit was insistent that our next meal be at one of his all-time favourite restaurants. The dishes? Anteater and Wildcat. Readers with weak stomaches are advised to stop here. Otherwise, go on to the next entry.
