Ansari Famous Cendol
Taiping's famous cendol shop, run by three generations; the signature is glutinous rice cendol with grilled glutinous rice, eaten with pasembur
Located around No. 92 Jalan Barrack, the shop opened in the mid-20th century and has been passed down through three generations. It is halal. The signature is cendol with grilled glutinous rice (cendol pulut), and you can add red beans. It is often paired with pasembur, an Indian-style salad. The glutinous rice usually arrives around 12:30 p.m. and often sells out early in the afternoon, so go between noon and 2 p.m. Seating is often shared, and each bowl is very cheap, though the portions are small. Another old shop, Bismillah Cendol, is about 200 meters away.
Opening hours
Until about 18:00 (closes once the glutinous rice runs out)
