6) Nyonya Cendol @ Summit USJ & The Main Place

How often you find a cendol place that offers “money-back guarantee” if you are not satisfied with it? Well, here’s one for you: Nyonya Cendol, which has two outlets at Summit USJ and The Main Place in Subang Jaya. And here’s the thing about their cendol: You can expect a robust and creamy taste of fresh coconut milk while their green cendol strands are longer and thicker. This gives you more bites and a better mouthfeel. And just so you know, the cendol strands themselves are all homemade with no artificial colourings and preservatives whatsoever. The basic version is already good enough, even though you may want to try with additional toppings such as sweet corn and ice cream.
