Aunty Koh Cendol
We’ll start off the list with a much favoured outlet located along Jalan Batang Tiga in the Kampung Bukit Rambai area of Melaka. It is a zinc roofed stall fenced off by netting and it has a large sign proclaiming ‘AUNTY KOH CENDOL’ as well as ‘MELAKA BEST CENDOL!’, which is in of itself a very bold claim, but not unfounded.
The cendol here is made fresh daily, and they really take the concept of freshness very, very seriously. The coconut milk used is thick and freshly produced, and the pandan jelly is made on the daily, retaining the sweet fragrance of pandan. The end result is a great bowl of cendol, simple in terms of ingredients but complex by taste. A must-visit in Melaka.

The cendol here is fresh and delicious, with copious amounts of red beans and pandan jelly as well as thick coconut milk and gula Melaka syrup. If the classic isn’t doing it for you, why not try it with a twist with their Cendol Durian?
During durian season, they serve cendol with the added option to top it off with fresh pieces of durian. A great summer treat, one of the best here in Melaka.
