Hi guys, I'm an avid ice kacang fan. Mainly because it's awesome, and also because it's the cheapest awesome-level dessert around.
Do share your go-to places for ice kacang and describe what's so special about it, the price, and the location so we can all go cuba cuba biggrin.gif

For me, I have 3 go to ice kacang places. From best to last:

1) Kwong Ah Ice Kacang

This one is just.. like.. wow.. the most amazing ice kacang I've ever had. It's the gula melaka type of ice kacang. The texture of ice is good and fine, taste is very solid and holistic (it's sweet but not like diabetes sweet till jelak). The cendol (on top) is amazing, and all in all, a very balanced ice kacang. Can eat two without getting jelak.

Price: RM5.5

2) May-May ABC Ais Kacang

It's located nearby the Kepong Baru morning wet market, closed on Thursdays, open on all other days till 6PM. Also gula melaka type of ice kacang. The taste is pretty good, it comes with different types of add-ons (like in picture above can add ice cream). There are a wide range of other types of desserts but I usually only eat the ice kacang.

Price: RM4 (without ice cream)

3) Sri Sinar Bus Stop Mamak

If you're a fan of the sirap bandung type ice kacang, this is it. Personally, I think it's like Sirap Bandung Ice Blended and I absolutely love it. Sometimes they don't have the ingredients to make it though, so be prepared to have make a wasted trip there. I've went there multiple times before over the years only to be told they don't have the ingredients to make ABC (probably finished already that day), so my advice is go earlier. If not mistaken they're open 24 hours. The mamak is opposite row of Restoran Good Taste Mixed Rice, next to the corner lot mamak (there's 2 mamak beside each other).

Price: RM3.5
Location: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Taman+Sri...3;4d101.6503619


I've tried a lot of ice kacang before and so far none beats these. But of course, it's according to my taste smile.gif
Hope to discover more new hidden ice kacang gems!

I just chanced upon Kwong Wah last weekend (TS no.1) , I am a cendol hunter, got to say this is one of the best I have tasted. I am sure their Ice Kacang would be up there too.

This falls under the premier cendol category, not the food truck traditional type. So comparison is against shopping mall type like Penang cendol chain, nyoya colors and even those along Malacca Yonker street.
Check out this other one at Taman Bukit Maluri. They do Ice Kacang and Cendol, very thick and strong palm sugar. Personally I still prefer the traditional cendol taste, and this is more leaning towards ABC.

It's really good isn't it!

Ah yes, have tried the Maluri one before too. It's not bad but I'm not a fan of their Gula Melaka. Too thick and goo-ey for my tastebuds biggrin.gif
