It’s been awhile since I’ve been here, was back in Ipoh for 3 days for my father-in-law’s funeral.
During CNY in Ipoh, I went looking for a cendol guy who purportedly makes the best stuff in town. Finding him was a little difficult, though, I had only sketchy instructions like ‘just before the Padang Kilat in Pasir Pinji’. If you’ve been to Pasir Pinji in Ipoh, you’d know there are many roads with even more stalls everywhere.
Finally found him matching the description. Yes, his stall is located under a tree in front of a row of homes, just before the Padang Kilat. An old blue tricycle cart, a few worn plastic stools, and a couple of old (presumably TNB) cable rollers for tables.
So here’s the cendol. It doesn’t look much, but its quite good, not as sweet as the usual stuff. Could have been colder, though.
The guy is really friendly, when i was rummaging thru the pockets to find 20 sen (RM1.60 per bowl, so two was RM3.20) he kept saying “tak payah, lain kali pun boleh…”
