Chendol: pandan jelly noodles in sweet coconutty soup

For people unfamiliar with South East Asian cuisine, particularly Malaysian cuisine, the concept of eating green noodles as a dessert might be slightly offputting. But trust me, having Chendol at the famous stall on Penang road pictured below, and you’ll be in for a treat.


Three main themes run through this dish: slippery, vanilla-esque pandan infused noodles, an icily refreshing coconut soup and sweet, deep red bean goodness. Mix it up, slurp it down; this is one of Asia’s best desserts.
