    If there is one thing that could rejuvenate your body during a hot and sweaty day out exploring the lovely colonial town of George Town, Penang , it’s the nostalgic shaved ice dessert otherwise known as Cendol in Penang.

    While we were planning for this Penang trip, which mostly involved writing down famous food spots, Mr Bao noted: If we don’t go to this place, did we really go to Penang?? He was referring to this famous Chendul stall in Georgetown.

    When one is in Penang, the Penang Road Famous TeoChew Chendul is a must-have especially in our super hot weather. It is a business that not only sustained itself over the years, but has grown to become of the most sought after cendol…

    Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul.Ice Kacang stall's (blue bowl) chendol is almost identical. But blue bowl's ice is shaved a little coarser, so we have to bite some hard gritty ice (more fun for some).

    The best cendol I’ve ever had was in Georgetown, Penang. I usually like my cendol icy with lumps of teeth numbing ice so I was very disappointed when I got a warm-ish bowl of cendol from the “Penang Most Famous Teochew Chendul” (Yes,…

    Visited during our Royal Caribbean stopover in Penang after a Grab driver insisted this was the place for chendol and now I completely understand the hype.

    the cendol used to be very good, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. Unfortunately, the quality seems to have slipped a bit recently. The bowl now contains more ice than actual cendol and red beans, leaving it a bit watery and diluted.

    Somewhat disappointing after learning about this place from all the guides. The chendol was average at best. Coconut milk was weak and watered down. Palm sugar was not fragrant. Some other reviews point towards inconsistency.
