Chendol

From Free net encyclopedia

Chendol or cendol is a popular type of dessert/drink that is normally associated with Indian immigrants in Southeast Asia, in countries like Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Its ingredients usually consist of white coconut milk, thin worm-like, pandan-flavoured, green-coloured flour noodles and palm sugar (gula melaka). Red beans, pieces of glutinous rice, grass jelly and shaved ice are optional additions.

Like many dishes in Southeast Asia, chendol has become a quintessential part of the cuisine of the multi-racial population in Singapore and Malaysia. Chendol is often sold by vendors in either roadside mobiles or small stalls. In Malaysia, chendol is usually priced between RM0.80 and RM1.50.
