Move over, burger and coffee drive-through places! We now have a Cendol Drive-Thru complete with an attap-thatched roof. I like it that there is no intercom nor a 3-stop order process. Just drive up to the makcik, place your order and pay when the sweet, icy dessert is handed over (see inset).
Cendol Bakar Drive-Thru is at Route 54, Kampung Assam Jawa, Ijok, Kuala Selangor.

Is there a cendol shortage in Melaka? Maybe I am spoiled by the generous green jelly dished out at Klang, Seremban and Banting but I still think it is rather measly here. Nevertheless, eating shaved ice on a sidewalk that dates back to the 17th century made up for it.

One more from The Chaiwalla in Banting. See earlier post of the restaurant for address and other posts on this South-East Asian ice dessert. Classic cendol from places like Klang and Seremban were featured earlier.
