In all, it was a thirst quenching dessert on a hot day. However, I would have preferred to go for cheng tng or ice jelly, if both were also available either on the menu or at other stalls.
The chendol strips possessed good pandan and coconut flavours but was slightly clumpy. The gula melaka was the bomb, rich without being cloying. The red beans were comforting and satisfying. I would have this any day over brown sugar milk tea.
A bowl of chendol that truly embodies the Singaporean hawker spirit!
I'm hardly an authority on this subject, but this is my favorite chendol place right now (335 Smith Street #02-008). It's all that this shop sells, and it seemed like every nearby table had one of their porcelain bowls on their table.
All of my friends who have tried Old Amoy Chendol enjoyed it and strongly recommend it. It's a good dessert if you are in Chinatown Complex.
