Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul

John Lim

Highly recommend eating in the restaurant beside, if you can find a seat despite it’s chaotic nature. The char Kuey teow is above average in taste, not too expensive either. Would recommend. Same for the famous chendol, it’s watery with more coconut milk with chunk of shaved ice which makes it really refreshing and you won’t get a brain freeze gulping in down. Asam laksa is good (average) worth a try but nothing to cry home about. Also offer oyster omelette, lor bak and Chee Cheong fun. Which were all of decent quality. Locals can skip but tourists gotta give it a try.

Live and let live

I enjoyed Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul for its refreshing, nostalgic flavours. The pandan jelly is smooth, the gula melaka is nicely balanced, and the coconut milk isn’t too heavy...making this perfect for the hot weather. They also serve assam laksa and char kueh teow, making it a convenient stop for both dessert and local favourites. The queue can be long and seating is simple, but I think it’s still worth the visit for the overall experience.

I knew this place from social media because it went really viral. People said you have to try this Penang Road Famous Cendol before you can say you’ve truly been to Penang. My husband and I usually don’t go out of our way to try super viral food, but we happened to pass by and decided to give it a try. We came here on September 25, 2025 at 10:11 AM and there was no queue at all. We ordered one bowl of ice cendol. For me, the taste was pretty average (sorry… but there are many cendol in Indonesia that taste better 🙈 hehe). The only extraordinary things for me were the shape of the cendol — long and thin like noodles, so you can easily slurp them — and the palm sugar. The gula melaka tasted very different from the palm sugar in Indonesia. I’ve never tasted palm sugar with that kind of flavor before. Overall, it’s okay to try once in a lifetime if you’re curious and already nearby. 🫧🥨
