As Summer Approaches....

My freezer is well-stocked with frozen treats.


But...


....what I'm craving right now is a bowl of icy cendol.

No frills; just shaved ice, green goodness,
gula melaka (palm sugar) and santan (coconut milk).


The "Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul - Ice Kacang" stall.
Somehow eating food by the roadside makes it taste better.
Sometimes.

If I have food pictures from home with me "physically", I'll definitely cry until I flood the dang apartment hehe..funny thing, e'one knows that's the first thing I'm gonna drink as soon as I land my butt at the airport..so, when are you going home ?

Love the chendol there at Penang Road. Eating by the roadside on a very hot day.

Ah good stuff for bringing this one up.
