Nyonya Chendol (Old Airport Road)

The temperatures here are crazy this month… glad to rediscover the ol’Chendol … this iced balanced mix of Peranakan origin hits the spot on a hot day !! Four thumbs out of 5 from “i”

What a balm on a scorching afternoon - an icy mountain slaked in a thicker-than-usual coat of gula melaka, so much so that a pool of that ambrosial liquid had gathered at the bottom of the bowl. I appreciated the fact that they served a version simply adorned with pale green slivers of subtly scented pandan jelly sans the red beans, as it made for a light and refreshing dessert after lunch.

Taste: 3.5/5

I really liked how simple the ORIGINAL CHENDOL ($1.50) was as each ingredient was given more space to shine. It only contains the 3 key ingredients - green jelly, palm sugar syrup & fragrant coconut milk.

Def share coz the palm sugar syrup is reallyyy thick. Maybe they could have thawed the green jelly too coz it was still frozen

What a nice dessert to have on a hot sunny Sunday.

For those that don't like red beans like me, u can have this $1.50 option.

Cheap, refreshing. And overflow with gula meleka

As I was reaching the bottom, still can feel a layer of gula melaka underneath. No need worry store kiam on the gula melaka.

Super sinful.

Chendol (Red Bean) ($2.50) was quite sweet due to red bean topping. My mum decided to try it out for another topping (🌽) instead as it's quite salty 😲.

Their gula melaka syrup taste is very special, not a typical gula melaka that you normally bought from wet market or supermarket. It has old-school taste. I ordered durian chendol with add on corns for $3.50. One bowl is best for two person sharing.
