Ansari Famous Cendol
🍧 Cendol · Jalan Barrack, Taiping, Perak
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.
