Order: Cendol pulut with gula Melaka
Taiping's great cendol institution, running since around 1940 and now in its third generation. The cendol with glutinous rice and thick palm-sugar syrup is the reason people detour off the highway on a hot afternoon.

Order: Duck-egg char koay teow served on a leaf
Nicknamed 'fireworks' for the sparks flying off a wok handled by a cook with around five decades of experience. Wetter, Taiping-style noodles with cockles, served old-school on a leaf.
