1. Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul
Tucked in the heart of Penang Road, floods after floods of people come and go just to give this cendol a try.

This original stall is right under a mural and it is a unique experience to savour a cup of cendol in the sun!

2. Penang Road Famous Chendul
Do not be confused! This opposite cendol stall situated in Penang Road may have a similar name as the one above but competition is tight for the two. Nevertheless, locals prefer this stall over the other as apparently it tastes better. Still, a bowl of delicious cendol is still decided based on one’s own preference. Why not give both a try to determine your favourite?

3. Kulim Best Cendol
As with its name, it is the best cendol amongst the citizens of Kulim. The stall stands right opposite St. Anne’s Cathedral and just like the aforementioned cendol places, this one has its own regular customers too. With extremely fragrant and sweet gula melaka, you can opt for a little less if it is overpowering. Choose to have pulut (glutinous rice) or without pulut in your bowl of cendol as it is a signature add on at Kulim Best Cendol.
Address: Jalan Kulim, Taman Tenang, 14000 Bukit Mertajam, Pulau Pinang
Operating Hour: 11 a.m.-5:45 p.m. (Closed on Mondays)
4. Cendol Asli Pak Haji
Pak Haji’s stall may not seem as inviting as the others but this is definitely one underrated cendol place! They serve delicious cendol in cups which are an easier way to carry and a delightful surprise to sip the mixture of gula melaka and coconut milk through straws. This stall also has corn in their cendol which gives an extra bite to the dessert!

The King of the fruits is love to many. Durian Haven serves cendol with durian as per its name. It is really a mind-blowing experience to have when cendol is combined with the creamy sweet durian.
