I tried the rojak at "Rojak Siti & Cendol" where the stall in the form of a small truck was set up in front of SMK Menjalara in Bandar Menjalara, Kepong. The rojak is not too bad and quite good. However, the cendol is not good. At one point when I ordered the rojak (takeaway), the guy asked me if I wanted to try the cendol. I just came for the rojak, but since the guy asked I ordered one packet of cendol.

The cendol was a disappointment. It didn't have the santan taste at all, tasted like water. The gula melaka also tasted very mild as if it's diluted.

If you ask me to rate,
Rojak : 7.5 or 8/10
Cendol : 2/10 (I didn't finish the whole packet and threw some away)

I was trying to look for this location 2 weeks ago, unfortunately couldn't find it.The Waze directed me to the Catholic Church near the cross juntion toward the Jinjang's night market. Going to locate it again soon for the pasembur.

The cendol assesment for me personally need to pass the followings :-

1. The shaved ice must be smooth.
2. The palm sugar must be thicked enough & not diluted.
3. The coconut milk mixture must be correct, cannot be too diluted or oily. Some heated the coconut milk until oily, is a no no.
4. The cendol must be squishy but still maintained the shape.
5. The red bean must use big red bean not the small red bean , the red beans need to maintain the wholeness apperance ( masih sebiji-biji ), when bite cannot be hard or powdery (under cooked), must be soft & creamy.

The one that fits the above closely so far

1. Penang Road Teo Chew Cendol - the red bean my not rank the best.
2. Cendul Wisma Ganda @ Perak - the red bean is the best so far I have tasted.
3. Little Yum Yum @ Kota Damansara - got all the correct mixture correct but I only compained that they are slightly stingy on the amount of the palm sugar.

The other outlets which I have tried

4. James Cendul @ Perak - above average but the coconut milk too oily , the red bean cannot maintain the wholeness appearance- it was a turn off for me.
5. Cendul Klang - above the average
6. Most of the cendul @ Melaka Nyoya / Peranakan ( Nancy, Donald, Amy, etc) were good / above the average with the coconut milk , shaved ice & palm sugar except the red beans & the cendol jelly itself. The serving portion was small & pricey in my opinion.

The stall is usually set up just beside the bus stop. Opposite the road is the school. Sorry, I got the name of the stall wrong. It's actually called "Cendol Bawah Pokok" instead of Rojak Siti & Cendol. The location is as below.

It appears that your taste is rather high which is a good thing. I agree that the blended ice of the cendol needs to be fine. For the Bawah Pokok stall, the ice is not fine but in rather large chunks. After waiting for the ice to melt, the cendol had turned to water, tasteless and therefore ended up in the garbage bin.

Note, the shop no longer located at the Happy Mansion.

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 - 9/10
5. The red bean must use big red bean not the small red bean , the red beans need to maintain the wholeness apperance ( masih sebiji-biji ) - 7/10

Could be one of the best around Klang Valley so far apart from Little Yum Yum @ KD.

Wow, looks good man. Surely a far cry from the cendol sold by the Bawah Pokok stall, no comparison at all.
