I first had durian cendol more than14 years ago at Tan Kim Hock Melaka. Back then, it wasn't served in that fancy wasteful flower shaped carboard handled container. See here and here. I think now, San Shu Gong is more popular for this, and is served in a wasteful fancy durian printed cardboard handled container. Frankly I'm more comfortable without that handle thingy. It's a waste of money and resources. And the cost is just absorbed by the customer, us.
No matter who is more popular, we can't be travelling there to eat it all the time. We can make it at home. It's durian season now.. what are u waiting for???
Wait... you may think, how to make cendol at home without an ice shaver? I never own one but yet I can make cendol and tub tim grob at home. How did I do it? A blender, the same old blender that I make my almond butter with. :p
Forgive my pictures today... I was racing against time before the ice melts. I forgot to freeze my bowls the day before i made this, so the prepared bowls of durian cendol were melting right before my camera.
Durian Cendol
Recipe source: WendyinKK
Serves 6
2 cups Cendol (can use store bought or homemade)
1.5 cup sweetened red beans (can use canned or homemade)
375ml coconut milk
375ml water
750gm ice
Sweet Durian Paste
200gm durian flesh
200gm palm sugar
300gm water
Pandan leaf (optional)
1. Mix coconut milk with water. Put 250gm of ice into blender and pour in 250ml of the coconut milk mixture. Blend until fine. Pour this into a container and freeze while you complete the blending. You can do this step in advance before serving time.
2. Prepare sweet durian paste. Combine everything into a small pot and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook until the flesh looks mushy. (Add more water if needed). Turn off the heat and let it cool down.
3. To assemble: Place coconut smoothie into bowl. Top with cendol, red beans and durian paste. Serve immediately.

Zoe,
Crockery reject shop. Those budget shops like Max Value, KEdai RM2 are my usual hunts for cheap tableware. I don't buy expensive stuff.
看到我的口水都流下了。。。
ReplyDeleteThis looks sinfully good ....I'm trying to visualize the taste...because normal cendol just taste like coconut milk plus gula melaka. So this durian version I presume the durian taste empowers everything?
ReplyDeleteOwwwwww...another interesting recipe! It looks so yummy. Love the noodle-shape cendol. Here in Indonesia we have a different shape but I can't wait to try yours, only there is no lye water available here...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, I want to try soon...!
Tracy,
ReplyDeleteHehehe
Bee,
I'd say, depends on your durian.
The coconut milk is still rather strong, even those that is sold in Melaka.
Hesti,
Maybe I squeezed them too long, hehehe.
Is air kapur available there? It's similiar.
woohooo...Wendy, you literally made me salivating!
ReplyDeletemust try must try :)
Ooh lucky me then. I have kapur sirih in my kitchen, but now is not durian season, huhuuuuuu >,< Sudah tak sabar ingin mencuba...thanks for the feedback Wendy...
