The secret to a good cendol lies in the palm sugar, coconut milk and green cendol strands – this cendol has it all. Add a dollop of pulut rice and you are soon on your way to cendol heaven. One of the things that make James Cendol so special is his pulut rice. Unlike most pulut rice that tends to be too hard, his version is fragrant and slightly chewy, giving the cendol a nice bite.
These days, it is his wife, Devi who mans the stall with their son as James is in Ipoh on a personal business. Auntie still remembers me, and how greedy I was as a kid. Heck, I’m still no different, as I had two bowls of cendol with pulut (RM1.60 a bowl)! There’s nothing like a bowl of rich, refreshing cendol on a hot day, don’t you think? If you want, you can opt for the cendol without pulut rice, which cost RM1.50.
