“Often overshadowed by the cendol, the rojak here is actually very good and features a high-quality sauce.”
Best Cendol
in Penang
Cendol is the ultimate tropical antidote—a refreshing bowl of shaved ice drenched in creamy coconut milk and dark, smoky palm sugar syrup (*gula melaka*). The highlight is the 'cendol' themselves: worm-like jellies made from rice flour and infused with the fragrant, grassy aroma of fresh pandan leaves. In Penang, a proper bowl always includes a scoop of soft, slow-cooked red beans to provide an earthy sweetness. The defining characteristic of a great Penang Cendol is the quality of the **'Gula Melaka'**—it should have a deep, scorched-butterscotch flavor that isn't overly saccharine. The trap is finding "frozen" or "machine-pressed" pandan jellies that lack the characteristic bounce and scent of hand-made versions. Expect to pay RM3–RM6.
