Nyonya Delight

Cendol. Have you lined up in Penang for the famous cendol? Well you don't need to line up for this one! Hidden from plain sight, Nyonya Delight is located by the roadside and sells kickass Nyonya Laksa. But wait! What's that? You don't want to travel again fir dessert? Fret not! This place has cendol as well for RM 2.50! Simple and basic cendol, RM 2.50 sounds like a pretty high price to pay. But the size of this cendol, in my opinion justifies the price. The cendol isn't overly sweet and sports a rich, gula melaka fragrance. The cendol itself is also fresh and the santan just gives it that creamy, coconutty fragrance that reminds you of coconut ice cream. Hot day? Look no further.

Located in Klebang, Melaka, Nyonya Delight is hard to spot. By the roadside with a signboard that may or may not be shielded by trees, the place is small with only few tables available. But let us look past that. Let us just take a moment, a short moment from our daily busy lives to admire this RM 4.50 Nyonya Laksa. Ignoring the fact that you can't get decent chicken rice in Kuala Lunpur at this price, the Nyonya Laksa comes with huge blood cockles (siham) and the sambal is delish. If I could I would buy a bottle back because it'll go well with anything. The acar (pronounced "aceh") is good too and just something about this place with its humble look, nice amount of light and unexpectedly kickass food just makes you wonder back to the days years ago when food was commonly best enjoyed by the roadside, with a bunch of friends.
