Cendol

Let talk about cendol today....well.. is everyone favorite I believe, especially in hot weather.
Is AWESOME to have one nice cold Cendol to chilled down and boost up the day spirit~!
 Cendol is also known as煎蕊 .
I am actually curios, where is cendol come from, don't u all curios?? how come will have people will think out to have this unic combination?
Cendol , it form with coconut milk, red bean, palm sugar ( Gula Melacca), cendol ( the green jelly strip) and Ice. These the basic, but well.. there is certain place, and people will add on nasi pulut( glutinous rice) and jagung ( sweet cream corn) or maybe durian ( Malaysia famous King of fruit) /Durian ice - cream  or maybe some peanut.

the combination might sound weird, but the taste of these is niceeeee! or I can rather use " AWESOME"!
* obviously, I am a cendol lover, hmmm.... for a dessert like this, who is not???

ok....
Cendol, it is believed that it was introduced to Malaysia during 1920, from Thailand. they called it : "Chorn Dooi".
The same things, Cendol also related with the word "jendol" in Javanese, Sundanese and Indonesia.
(refer to bump= bumpy sensation when cendol pass through mouth)
Vietnam , they call " banh lot"

It is famous in Southeast Asia, and is famous after the refrigeration tech is introduce, Cold cendol with shredded Ice was available in every southeast Asia country with it own special way.
( u know, all the mix and match  *wink* )

so, just try to link it with why it is most popular in Malaysia Port cities, such as Malacca, Penang and Kuala Lumpur where British refrigerated ships tech would provide the ICE.

that roughly bout the history........

ok... back to yummy taste bud here... which cendol should I recommend?? hmmm...

2nd? hmmm... well... i love Papa rich durian cendol. Should try it! is big and the price is reasonable. trust me! if u are durian lover with the nice durian ice-cream and the cendol is the best!
