Ansari Famous Cendol, Taiping

When in Taiping, there are two famous places to have cendol, both within walking distance of each other. We decided to try both places, one after another, since we wanted to compare and see which we liked better.

Our second stop for the day was Ansari Famous Cendol, which has been around since 1940 with the business now being run by the third generation.

On their menu, you will find cendol biasa, cendol kacang, cendol pulut as well as pasembor. Ansari was considerably busier than the other place, so by the time we ordered, they had run out of cendol pulut. So, we had the cendol biasa (RM1.60) - nevertheless, it was still delicious. I found the coconut milk here to be slightly thicker, richer and the cendol strands are slightly salted, so it was a nice balance with the gula melaka syrup. 

Ansari Famous Cendol Menu / Price List

Pros: Richer coconut milk (santan). More shaved ice (cooler).  Friendlier service.
