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.
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.
