Nyonya Chendol

Ordered chendol with red bean. Cost $2.50. Honestly all chendol franchise are pretty mediocre or bad. Pros. Chendol are actually not bad. Well definite. Cons Ice sucks not snowy. Damn hard. Definitely not easy to shave them. And is a must to shave because... Gula melaka is too sweet. Must really stir and even then still feel sweet. Damn lah all the gula melaka of all franchise are like this. Too thick and sweet.

Tried the Nonya chendol at Old Airport Road Food Centre and it was excellent. The gula melaka is thick, rich, and beautifully fragrant, blending perfectly with the smooth coconut milk and soft chendol jelly. I added red beans for $2.80, which were fresh and well-cooked. A delicious, authentic Nonya-style chendol that’s truly satisfying.

For a shop to specialize only in chendol, it has to be exceptional, and this one delivers. I ordered the red bean version, and it was a tasteful blend of creamy coconut milk, gula melaka, soft red beans, and the classic green pandan jelly. It was a perfectly balanced and delightful bowl of a Singapore traditional dessert. Would recommend if you are in the hawker centre!

I’m a big fan of chendol, and I enjoyed this one. It was a little too sweet for my taste, but it definitely had that classic local chendol flavour.

It’s been a while since I had such good chendol in Singapore, as good as the ones in Malaysia! The taste is so rich and not watery at all. Price is good too, $2.8 for red bean and $3.8 for durian. Just need to take note they don’t accept CDC.
