Saw  this penang road famous teochew chendul shop. I stopped by and have a good look, and curry mee and asam laksa are on the menu board. Well, I can't really get the aroma of the asam laksa but I can easily catch the curry mee scent overpowering the shop.  What's more?  I went to the counter to order a bowl of curry mee (it is vermicelli mixes with noodle) and their original chendul.

The curry mee was jus nice to me with handful of curry flavour and not spicy at all (a bit  disappointed as I wanted a little spiciness). Nevertheless,  the curry mee still better than the chendul which I think I can have better chendul at other places such as at ss22... and the chendul is rather too heavy with coconut milk.  The red beans were disastrous as I taste not fresh and smell like it had been kept in a fridge for more than a week. It does smells like that to me.. because I had kept red bean dessert too long in the fridges that it smells like rotten to me.
It might not my day to get such a bowl of chendul.. but I shouldn't be served to me at the first place because they supposed to have keep a good reputation for quality chendul...
Curry mee is good. ..jus that those served cockles were too small.

Prices aren't great, but well, there's a premium to be paid for overly famous things.

I had the durian cendol. The durian was really flavourful and the cendol bits were firm and not too soft. Ice was fine enough but could be finer. Enough of gula melaka for a good balance of sweetness.

So, overhyped or glorious? I'd say glorious.

the cashier recommended me the trio which is chendul, rojak buah and assam laksa
unfortunately by the time I was there, the assam laksa had sold out so I had to settle for the curry laksa which is not bad
the sambal is separate from the curry so if you don't like it so spicy you can discard it
the curry laksa had tau fu pok and long bean
i felt that it was more on the sweet and milky side rather than spicy
it also had some very pathetic looking and small cockles in there

Although famous or it's cendol, I wanted to try their rojak. I ordered for take away without timun and sengkuang and surprisingly, they adhered to my request. The fruits and sauce were both packed separately into 2 dainty looking containers. It manage to preserve the freshness of the fruits. He rojak mix was great! I love the sweet and spicy rojak sauce and the fruits were all chunky and fresh too. I wouldn't hesitate to have it again next time!

Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul 终于在PJ , Paradigm Mall 设了一间新开店, 爱吃梹城美食的朋友们有口福了。与Tesco 同一层在LG, 非常容易可找到。店面不大,食客可堂用或'打包' 。在这你可品尝到梹城美食如著名的Penang Asam Laksa ,Curry Laksa, 炒粿条。由其是Penang Asam Laksa 香气扑鼻往往会把我吸引而来。除了面食和糕点也有各种甜品如ABC ,Rojak 还有镇店大宝的Teochew Chendul 了。这煎蕊特别之处是它有濃厚椰香味,重点是店主用了正宗香郁的椰糖与煎蕊混合之下成了极品。这道甜品你非尝不可,而且价钱只是RM4.90 一碗,超値。

if you're craving some penang love, penang road famous teochew chendul opened a franchise in klang valley, more specifically paradigm mall just last weekend so you can get a snippet of the soul of penang here in petaling jaya.

seating is limited since it is confined within a petite shop on the lower ground. i adored the simple decor that reflected an updated version old school coffee shop that you would find in penang - adorning multiple shades of green, rustic brown and grey and i loved that it was clean!

a few of our familiar cuisines made an appearance on their menu and a couple of classics with their personal twists. there was one unfamiliar one that even my dad has not heard of - kuang jiang apparently is a teochew dish of fried slices of yam, which we skipped this time around.

teochew delights :: assam laksa (rm 7.90)

assam laksa, arguably the most famous hawker food in penang is one item that cannot be missed while in penang and i was interested in tasting how this compared. the broth was clear and light on flavor with a good balance of tamarind tartness countered by slight sweetness, and light on the spiciness with an herbaceous infusion of aromatic ginger flower (bunga kantan). the dark shrimp paste (heh ko) accentuated the flavors of the broth.

the nicely cooked noodles were topped with some freshly sliced raw onions, pineapple and lettuce. the mint imparted a minty freshness in the soup. i definitely needed an extra spoonful of shrimp paste, which intensified the taste of the broth that was slightly too light. however, the amount of fish was so scarce that i had trouble finding any fish meat.

unlike the rich and creamy curry noodles found elsewhere in malaysia, penang curry noodles has a lighter milky broth. served with a spoonful of chili paste, the broth is mixed completely with the paste to complete the flavor profile. digging into the milky broth, there were other hidden treasures of fresh perfectly cooked seafood consisting of fresh shrimps, cuttlefish and cockles on top of the tofu puffs.

the broth in this bowl of yumminess was light, milky with a good balance of heat with a very slight hint of sweetness. the great part is that it isn't as creamy nor heavy nor greasy from the coconut milk and chili oil - which is difficult to find anywhere else. i have to admit the serving size is small for the price.

teochew delights :: rojak (rm 6.90)

this shack serves a lot of my favorite local cuisines including rojak buah which is a malaysian version of a fruit salad of jicama, pineapple, unripen mango and fresh cucumber (it's lacking the unripen papaya) with a shrimp paste dressing. the different textures married with the variety of flavors that flirt with the taste buds makes this an apt representative of the different cultures in malaysia jumbled into one harmoniously.

the dressing typically consists of water, shrimp paste, chili, lime juice and sugar. i was slightly disappointed when it was missing the crispy rice flour cracker that i was looking forward to - probably the best part of rojak buah and was compensated by tofu puffs and slices of brown squid. however, i have to admit that the tofu puffs were ideal to absorb the delicious umami with caramel-like quality dressing with some heat mellowed by the slight sweetness contrasted by the end note of undertone bitterness. my mom agreed it was yummy and guessed the secret ingredient was palm sugar to replace the sugar to elevated it to another level.

the namesake of the food joint - the original teochew chendul. my dad spoke to the staff and we were astonished that the cendol was specifically delivered all the way from penang, every morning at 5am. the cendol itself only had faint whispers of pandan but texturally, this was made just right. the shaved ice keeps this dessert chilled, perfect for the warm days, where we are treated to a delicate balance of caramel sweetness complemented by the smooth, creaminess of the coconut milk.

a lovely level of sweetness but the elements of palm sugar (aka gula melaka) and slightly diluted coconut milk resulted to the flavors being a little muted. the price might have doubled against the original one at my dad's hometown, but so is the serving size.

with the flavors profile that almost rivals its counterparts at their place of origin, penang road famous teochew chendul is a worthy cure for your penang delicacies cravings right here in klang valley, just with a heftier price tag.

After my fiance inform me about Teochew Chendul opening an outlet at Paradigm Mall, we decided to give it a go. They shop was so pack that we had to come back 2 times to check on the seats availability. We had the signature chendul. It was serve in a paper bowl with droplets of condensation from the ice within. With much anticipation, I had my first mouthful. It gets better as I dig deeper, where the gula melaka starts to mix in. However, I was quite disappointed as this chendul was not up to my expectation after much anticipation.

For one, the gula melaka was not as fragrant as it should be. And the strips of chendul was quite bland. It should be milkier and richer. I could be biased towards the original one because it was served under the hot sun and a bowl of ice cool chendul was all it matters. But all in all, it was a good bowl of chendul, just not as great as the pioneer one at Lebuh Keng Kwee.

gula melaka was mostly in the ice, so we had to chip it a bit and mix it around before consuming. I thought that there were too much ice, and not enough brown sugar. Also, the coconut milk was a bit diluted. All in all, I think the Penang one is still much better in comparison.
