Best Cendol Balik Pulau — Balik Pulau, Penang

About

A cendol stall in Balik Pulau often cited by Penangites as having the most authentic, old-school version of the dessert on the island — the gula melaka (palm sugar) is sourced from local producers in Balik Pulau itself, giving it a distinct smoky-caramel depth unlike the commercial syrups used elsewhere. The coconut milk is freshly squeezed each morning. Best eaten immediately.
