Sofie Cendol is located right next to Nasi Kandar Under The Tree, hence I loitered next door to kaypoh a bit.
To my surprise, they specialise in Cendol, so this was perfect for an after lunch dessert.
We ordered the Cendol Special and Cendol Durian... The Cendol Special was really quite... UNspecial. 😅 It consists of green cendol, red bean, cream of corn, and glutinous rice. The sticky rice made it exceptionally heavy, and I didn't really enjoy the concoction.
The Cendol Durian was a surprise hit though. Initially, we ordered 2 x Cendol Special but we saw (and smelled) bowls of Cendol Durian ordered and I swapped our order to 1 x Cendol Special and 1 x Cendol Durian.
Note to self : next time just go straight for the Cendol Durian! It's good enough for me to head back for more! The encik generously topped 3 durian seeds on top of the cendol + ice and that made the entire dessert taste like a scoop of heaven.
The shaved ice is a bit coarse and hard (not bingsu snowy soft), so I waited for it to melt into a puddle before drinking it like some crunchy soup with slivers of durian flesh with each mouthful. Wow. It was JUST. SO. GOOD.
I'm having my coffee break now and I still can't forget the cendol durian I had post lunch.
WARNING!! Cendol Durian results in amnesia... I can't remember anything else I had before that. Lunch was that forgettable! 😂

Also got a fritters platter — you can mix pisang, keledek, and keropok lekor. We had keledek & pisang, both sweet and soft, paired with a spicy sambal kicap that packs a punch. JB goreng pisang never disappoints! Ended with Mango Sticky Rice, a perfect...
