James Cendol - Old Klang Road

I posted about my bad cendol experience at Peggy's in PJ Old Town Medan Selera. A few people suggested that I try out James Cendol over at Old Klang Road. I found the address and gps coordinates from google and entered it into my Garmin, but still, it took me more han 20 minutes to locate the place! Turned out it was on the other side of Lee Chong Wei sports arena, the side facing Old Klang Road.

Finally, the cendol, with pulut (glutinous rice) too! RM3.00

I am sure you could tell that the shaved ice was too coarse and the cendol noodles were too soft and soggy! Not much of gula melaka syrup (palm sugar) either!Very little santan (coconut milk) as well.

The best cendol noodle I have had so far is at this stall at Lebuh Presgrave, Penang. Nice, translucent and jelly-like.

About the only thing that I like was the coconut shell bowl the cendol was served in. Really nice!


I must admit that I have only tried cendol with pulut once before. That was in Kulim, and that one was much better than this one by miles. Cheaper too.


Rojak pasembur. RM4.00. The fritters were so dry and chewy :(, and lack of flavor.




This place was clean and airy though.

You might not be able to find James Cendol even with the gps coordinates. Remember, it's just next to Lee Chong Wei sports areana, not on the Seri Sentosa side, but the Old Klang Road side! From Sri Sentosa side, just enter LCW sports arena and out the other gate, you will see a basket ball field and James Cendol. You can also come in from OKR if you are heading towards

Cendol - Lebuh Presgrave, Penang

My friend Sam brought me to this nice cendol place located near the intersection of Lebuh Presgrave and Lebuh Mcnair.

You can see immediately that the cendol noodle is almost jelly-like and translucent.


Now compare it to the cendol noodle at Penang Road Lebuh Keng Kwee Teochew cendol., which is not so translucent and not jelly-like.


The cendol was also very very lemak i.e full of fresh coconut milk (santan). However, this also meant the gula melaka (palm sugar) fragrance was somehow slightly overshadowed.


This is the stall. Start selling after 5 pm.

Cendol & Laksa, Keng Kwee St off Penang Rd

Keng Kwee Street, off Penang Road


It's really close to Komtar.


Cendol with nice big red beans :)

But for cendol noodles, I prefer the type from this stall.

Laksa. You can't get it from the roadside mobile stall. Only available in the the three shops.




Luckily, the nearest shop is just a few steps away on the same street ie. the green building.



The shop at Komtar Walk. You can actually see this shop in the picture above at the end of the alley (across the road)
