Thoughts: 煎蕊 Cendol was first mentioned in the 克雷斯納亞那手稿 Kresnayana manuscript, which dates back to the 12th century 諫義里國 Kediri Kingdom in 爪哇 Java, 印度尼西亞 Indonesia. In fact, the Javanese name for the Cendol is "Dawet". And instead of crushed ice, the "Dawet" is served as a drink as ice was difficult to get during the earlier years. Eventually, Cendol evolved to the current form "with ice" and became so popular in Southeast Asia in 文萊 Brunei, 柬埔寨 Cambodia, Laos, 越南 Vietnam, 泰國 Thailand, 新加坡 Singapore, 緬甸 Myanmar, and 馬來西亞 Malaysia. And the word "Chendol" (the name "cendol" is related to, or originated from, the word "Jendol", in reference to the swollen green worm-like rice flour jelly), first appeared in Malaya in the 1930's especially popular in 馬六甲 Malacca, 吉隆坡 Kuala Lumpur and 檳城 Penang because hawkers then were able to acquire ice from the the British people during the 英國殖民時代 British Colony period. With Malaysia's super hot and humid weather throughout the year, Cendol has become such a popular hawker food offered by vendors of all races and one of the all-time-favorites for all Malaysians.

PJ Section 17 Happy Mansion's "姐妹廚房 Sistars Kitchen" offers an interesting variant of Cendols + ABC Ice Kacang which the Cafe calls it "ABC Cendol". The rm$5.80 "煎蕊 ABC Cendol" comes with the usual mountain of ice and atop this little ice mountain lies streaks of 綠米粉班蘭果凍 green rice flour pandan jellies and 綠豆 red beans, finally infused with 棕櫚糖 gula melaka. BUT this is not the famous "光華冰室 Kwong Wah" at Happy Mansion who used to be a popular Cendol or Ice Kacang pitstop for many many years, 光華 Kwong Wah moved from Happy Mansion to the nearby shop lot at a new address (627, Jalan 17/8) with more spaces, but still in Happy Garden or PJ Seksyen 17.
The ABC Cendol was a perfect dessert in the hot afternoon today after sampling the stall's rm$6 "暹羅米粉 Mee Siam" as well as piece of rm$2.40 "炸薄餅 Fried Popiah"; both were tasty but a bit too expensive. Besides the 3 items sampled today; the little Café also offers 椰漿飯 Nasi Lemak, 娘惹糕點 Kuih Muih, 菜脯豬腸粉 Choy Pou Chee Cheong Fun, as well as weekend only 娘惹叻沙 Nyonya Laksa! 姐妹廚房 Sistars Kitchen single shop lot at Happy Mansion offers 7 tables, clean and still quite spacious, yet cozy and comfortable with a simple decoration.
For a taste of one of the best Cendol in town, one of these days must find time to visit the famous "光華冰室 Kwong Wah" relocated from Happy Mansion to the nearby 627, Jalan 17/8! BUT not sure if "姐妹廚房 Sistars Kitchen" is in anyway related the 光華 Kwong Wah!
