Swatow Lane Ice Kacang — George Town, Penang

About

Classic Penang shaved ice dessert stall at New World Park food court on Jalan Burma in George Town — famous for its Swatow-style red bean ice shaving (ice kacang), a traditional Penang favourite. The ice kacang is built around a mound of finely shaved ice, drenched in coloured syrups, and topped with generous scoopfuls of red beans, attap chee (palm seeds), corn, grass jelly, and sweet condensed milk drizzle. The Swatow Lane (Teochew-origin) preparation is prized for its clean flavour profile and generous ingredients. A refreshing sweet ending for those exploring George Town. Open daily. Also known for its cendol, the second most-mentioned dish in its Google reviews after the ice kacang. Reviews mention rojak, laksa, gula melaka and coconut milk.
