I think the owners need to review who they employ to make the cendol. I got the diluted, melted ice, half cold version. The person serving looked like she definitely would prefer to do some other things than to serve cendol.

On a hot day after some spicy and heavy Nasi Ayam Bakar / Nasi Ayam Sambal / Mee Rebus, get one of these bowls. Top tier combo. Not overly sweet, melting cold shaved iced, no red beans, pure joy.

Never wanting to make a purchase here again unless our elderly mom still insisting for ‘cendol geylang’. Taste was great undeniable but poorly the two lady selling cendol are not friendly. No eye contact, no thanks nor even a smile. Being tired is not an excuse. Saturday 19 Aug afternoon onwards.

Decent cendol. No red beans in it, but good value for just 2 SGD.
