Cendol

We intentionally looked out for cendol wherever we went. Of all, we found the cendol at the Restoren Ansari Famous Cendol at Jalan Chung Thye Phin in Taiping (Coordinates: N 04d51'10.9", E100d44'19.5") to be the best among all we had tasted.
 
Next in our list is the Li Cendol which is set up in a mobile pick-up truck in Bukit Mertajam. The Malay lady store keeper who could speak Chinese was just too happy to be our photographer after knowing we came all the way from Sabah.
 

James Cendol in Setiawan which we very much wanted to try was unfortunately not opened due to the long CNY break.
 
Though in a much more pleasant setting, the cendol we tried in Teluk Intan in The Store Supermarket somehow could not match the "standard" of those roadside cendol outlets we tasted!


We also tried the cendol at "BM Best Cendol" in Bukit Mertajam along Jalan Danby. Unfortunately, no photo was taken. The cendol was nothing fantastic. We did not have good experience at this place due to confusion over the price as printed on their bill board as against the verbal price quoted after eating.

Must be the added flavour of outside dirt that makes the roadside ones taste so much better ^_^

Simple. Just type the coordinates in the GPS, it will pinpoint the location for you.
