Just wanted to say that I love this dessert. I had a couple of times at malaysian restaurants and its yummy. I like how they blend different flavors into one. We have a similar dessert in Indian cuisine which is called Kulfi Falooda whichalso has different ingredients mixed into one.

The best ice kacang in Penang is at Hot & Spicy Cafe, Jalan Air Itam (main road), in front of the old Choon Nam cinema, opposite Public Bank Air Itam branch, just a few doors away from Shell petrol station.
RM2.80 per plate with ice-cream.

Malaysia’s water is safe to drink out of the tap. I think people are just too paranoid. :)

I think it’s fascinating that in Asia we have variations of what is essentially the same thing. The Taiwanese shaved ice actually is pretty good because you really get the flavour of the dessert (especially the shaved solid dessert ice blocks versus just normal ice).

I’ve always been told that M’sia’s water is not safe for drinking right out the tap. Singapore buys the water, purifies it and sells it right back so maybe I need to reconsider what I’ve been told.

Great, I like mine with lots of attap chee, and preferably lots of gula melaka syrup and evaporated milk.
I could use one now.
Damn unpredictable weather in Ipoh lately, Bee.

This looks great! I love how cool and refreshing Asian desserts can be compared to heavier American cakes and frostings. Definitely great for summer.

For a shortcut version of durian ice cream…we only have frozen durian here so I mash the pulp and just add it to the best vanilla ice cream in the grocery store…voila…instant durian ice cream without the fuss! But since the durian is sweet enough, I add it to the light vanilla ice cream…less sugar added!
