Makan Melaka (Changi Village)

I tried the durian and the red bean versions. The latter was good in a normal way (or normal in a good way?). The durian used was lousy sia. It tasted like those durian lempok.

Ice chendol.. the most basic of the varieties on offer at the restaurant. Really good on a hot and muggy day

Probably one of best chendol which I have come across. Credit to the owner making all ingredients fresh. Gula which is explained as sweet palm sugar is the key ingredient to this fabulous dessert.

Difference between Singapore n Melaka chendol is that they don’t used coconut milk like we do thus less rich but it gives a clean taste.

Indeed all good dessert will have variation and this no exception for the chendol sold here.

Choices of red bean, corn and durian fillings can be chosen and if you want to pampered yourself, you can ask for all three which is less than 2 dollars.

Overall is a worthy snack on a hot day and the shop also sell other snacks like curry puffs. I believe they have another branch in Jurong West but do search in Burpple to confirm.

If u do come by drop by and try and shop is facing the Changi food center diagonal to Charlie’s corner who is famous for western food n burgers.

Costing only a mere $1.50 for the basic cendol or $1.80 if you add in sweet corn or red bean, this is a satisfying bowl of shaved ice with the essential coconut milk and gula melaka syrup. The tinge of savouriness from the coconut milk and sweetness from the gula melaka makes it an impeccable pairing.

ACAMASTIPS💮: Coming from a Peranakan, this is good enough to satisfy your chendol cravings. Don't have to travel all the way to Melaka or Penang. 🏵

The chendol had a hint of saltiness which was quite unique and made the dessert not so jelak. The shaved ice was quite fine too. I heard they make their own chendol; no wonder it was so tender. Damn shiok for a sweltering afternoon.
