Tried the SS15 Rojak at the USJ 10 Taipan Branch ( near to Conlay Tower ).

RM 4.50 per serving. The taste rating I'll rate at 7.5/10. The rojak pale in comparison compare to Tmn Kosas & Bandar Puteri. Got a very mild sour taste of the gravy which I personally don't think it is going well with the fritters.

1. The shaved ice must be smooth - 8/10
2. The palm sugar must be thicked enough & not diluted - 7/10
3. The coconut milk mixture must be correct, cannot be too diluted or oily - 7/10
4. The cendol must be squishy but still maintained the shape - 8/10
5. The red bean must use big red bean not the small red bean , the red beans need to maintain the wholeness appearance ( masih sebiji-biji ) - 9/10. A bit stingy the red bean serving portion in my opinion.

Priced at RM 6.90/ bowl

1. The shaved ice must be smooth - 7/10
2. The palm sugar must be thicked enough & not diluted - 6/10 ( the fragrant was not there )
3. The coconut milk mixture must be correct, cannot be too diluted or oily - 6/10 ( they are using pre-packed coconut milk)
4. The cendol must be squishy but still maintained the shape - 8/10
5. The red bean must use big red bean not the small red bean , the red beans need to maintain the wholeness appearance ( masih sebiji-biji ) - 7/10. They were serving big red bean but the flavor not there.

Taman Kosas red bean the best so far.

Ordered a plate of Rojak & 1 bowl of cendol.

user posted image
Close up Rojak. RM 5/ plate.

user posted image
Close up cendol. RM 2.50/bowl ( no complaint)

My personal review as follows

1. The shaved ice must be smooth - 9/10
2. The palm sugar must be thicked enough & not diluted - 8/10
3. The coconut milk mixture must be correct, cannot be too diluted or oily - 8.5/10
4. The cendol must be squishy but still maintained the shape - 8/10
5. The red bean must use big red bean not the small red bean , the red beans need to maintain the wholeness appearance ( masih sebiji-biji ) - 6/10. They served small red beans & some already hancur…but no complaint for the price they are selling. Still a good deal.

The cendol still tasted above average.

Rojak = 6.5/10. Tmn Kosas & Bandar Puteri Puchong tasted way better.

Thanks for sharing folks! Long time no kena cendol! wow looking at some the prices, didnt realize cendol had fetch 6-8 ringgit! wow.

Nice to see there are still some 2.50 ones, used to cost 50cents during school days! hahaha

Looks like standard cendol ingredient nowadays, need to tambah and not standard, like kacang, jelly, and the bog red jelly and small round jelly as well. sorry forgot those names. Thats how it was during my school days.

Seriously 50 cents? You must be over 40 y.o. My time, it was around 80 cents until it became RM3.50 from the same stall.

Behind Wisma Conlay, SS15 Cendol & Rojak.

The blog was 8 years ago. I doubt the price will be the same.

Sitiawan one selling RM 3.50 as per my last visit
Banting Ibrahim Cendol selling at RM 2.00 this year visit ( below average).

Kamaruddin Cendol didn't appear in my list when I visited Banting. Maybe will give it a try next round.

This rojak sold by the Indian operator in the Chinese Kopitiam was good. Restoran 626 @ Batu 18, Rawang. Can rival Tmn Kosas & Bandar Puteri Puchong one.

Auntie's Ling Nyonya Cendol @ Medan Selera Wawasan SS3.

This cendol by far the best (rated No.1 by me) at Klang Valley I have ever tried. It was such a rare occasion that it can displaced all the previous ranking.

2 weeks ago, managed to try Aunty's Koh Cendol at Melaka. It was claimed to be a must try in the list during the trip to Melaka.

This was my evaluation :-

1. The shaved ice must be smooth - 10/10
2. The palm sugar must be thicked enough & not diluted - 10/10
3. The coconut milk mixture must be correct, cannot be too diluted or oily - 10/10
4. The cendol must be squishy but still maintained the shape - 10/10
5. The red bean must use big red bean not the small red bean , the red beans need to maintain the wholeness appearance ( masih sebiji-biji ) - 0/10. ranting.gif There was no red bean.

6) The portion was almost 1/2 the serving size you can get nationwide but it was selling at RM 5 / bowl. 0/10

Personally felt it was a tourist trap & not worth the time, you can easily get similar quality of cendol from Klang Valley at places like Makan Time & Kwong Wah at more value price with equivalent / better quality.
