World of Chendel--Ice of Life
I first became aware of Chendel on a very hot 38degree afternoon in Melacca. Dish after dish of this delight, a volcano like desert was being rushed to eager customers as they waited anxiously in the slip stream of a whirling. fan. My table companion assured me this was the most popular cooling agent in Malaysia. This delight turned out to be a pile shredded ice flakes, cleverly produced by a Taiwanese ice shaver. This devise has a number rotating blades that shaves ice flakes from a securered bloke of ice.
These ice shards are piled up into a volcano like shape, that is then transformed by generous additions of coconut mike, condense milk, and several ladles of equally satisfying raw sugar syrup. Then topped with sweet red beans along with a quantity of jelly like fruit mix, and in some establishments nuts. The quality of this dish greatly depends like most things in life, on the skill and attention to detail of the maker. Something I found out to my great disappointment.
The delight in placing this substance into your mouth magically reduces your heat fatigue considerably.Next time you feel like a cold shower to cool off, try a Chendel, you will feel so good afterwards. I only wish someonewould import a manhine into Tasmania, but then prehaps it does not get hot enough.
