Dragon's Beard Candy - Kepong Baru

This dragon beard candy stall is at Kepong Baru Night Market that happens every Sunday night.

Dragon's beard candy. More about dragon's beard candy here and here. There's even a youtube clip on how to make your own dragon's beard candy.


My choice was black sesame filling.


These didn't taste anything like the crispy, melt-in-the-mouth type I had in Hong Kong before. These would turn into one sticky, chewy lump when you bit into it!

I ate a couple of them on the spot. Sticky and chewy, stuck to my teeth. I left the remaining few in the fridge and the pieces all stuck together :(

Ais Kacang - Brickfields

I was in Brickfields on a very very hot day. Then I saw this ais kacang stall which I have been to a few times.

Nice refreshing and cooling bowl of ais kacang. I like that they don't use the red syrup on their ABC. Not sure what that red tip was though.


Lots of ingredients in it: grass jelly, cendol noodles, kidney beans, maize, and santan too, I think.


RM3.50. Not cheap. I saw two price list two and didn't know which one to follow. One of them says RM3.50 and the other RM2.50.





This place is right outside 7-Eleven, behind YMCA. I have tried their cendol too but that was quite long ago and no photos. Forgot what it tasted like too :D. Well, next time!

Tong Pak Fu

Tracka (竹脚)durian snow ice....yum. This was what grabbed me and got me into the restaurant :D. The snow ice was really fine and it hardly melts even till the end. Tracka is one of my favorite type of durian and you could tell that they put a generous amount into making the snow ice so it was all good. The grass jelly and the colorful jelly were no good though. Very tough and chewy.



I ordered the big one, RM16.45

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)
