Tunglang's choice of 30's-60's Penang Teochew Chendol

1930’s-60’s Teochew Chendol,
slippery green chendol jelly - cold as ice yet irresistible,
sweet & fragrant punch of coconut milk + palm sugar syrup,
fat chompy ang tau (red kidney beans), a must-have keh liao,
shaved Eskimo s’ng (ice) that kills all tropical fever & thirsts,
the secret recipe = heavenly chendol + ang tau served
cold, sweet & thirsty-tasty,
bowl-drying licking good to the last thirst for more 
Teochew Chendol.   “Si pek ho liao!”
