People have always told me if I go to Penang, I must go to Penang road and try the famous Teochew Chendul.

Well couple of months ago when I was on a semi-work trip, I happened to be with a local and he brought a group of us to Penang road to give this a try. It was a long weekend, so the queue was absolutely crazy! Although the stall owner was pretty efficient (you would think so, having operated since the 1950s) and we didn't need to queue for too long until we got ourselves a bowl each.
Judging by the colour of the "green jelly noodles", I'd say they only use real pandan juice instead of food colouring. And indeed, every strand has a hint of pandan. The coconut milk concoction contains just the right amount of gula melaka, which makes the broth so aromatic and addictive. The icy mix of red beans, grass jelly and other sweet things makes this such a refreshing treat for the super hot weather. To complete the experience, you slurp the whole thing down standing in the middle of the road. Priceless.Post
