    Ais Tingkap is one of Penang’s most well-known beverages; ideally placed near Chowrasta Market, it is a must-try for both residents and visitors. Another must-try item is ice kacang.

    One of them is Ais Tingkap at Lebuh Tamil. It was hot sunny afternoon and Ken decided to bring us for a refreshment break as most of us would definitely know Penang Famous Cendol located at Penang Road but another hidden gem which is…

    Ais Tingkap is one of the most unusual things I have ever tried but it’s delicious and worth trying. This relic from the 1930’s that originated in the Middle East as “sharbat”, found its way to George Town Penang, where one family still…

    Penang is known for its cendol and ais kacang but I recently learnt about Ais Tingkap, a rose coloured drink with coconut flesh and basil seeds (biji selasih). The Ais Tingkap stall is located in Tamil Street, beside Chowrasta Market.

    This is the best chendol I have had in Penang, after trying the most famous one and also expensive one. It's very authentic and definitely old school. When it comes to chendol, the authenticity is a complex formula.

    The taste of syrupy water is delicious to drink on hot days. If you're lucky, you won't have to queue for a long time. Or you can just buy the bottled one and not have to queue. There are various types of drinks including cendol.

    The coconut itself is delicious. But I prefer the lychee, which is delicious. The portion and price are reasonable. The cendol is delicious. The service is fast, but the que is really hot.
