Macalister Lane Chendul Stall is one of the cendol stalls in George Town. Although it is not as popular as the Penang Road Teochew Chendul Stall, it does have its share of regular patrons.
The Macalister Lane Chendul Stall is at the junction of Macalister Lane and Burmah Road on most days, and do very good business if the day is particularly hot. However, as it has not received the amount of publicity as the famous cendol stalls on Keng Kwee Street, it receives a smaller stream of customers.
29 July, 2014: I returned to the Macalister Lane cendol stall on a rainy day. There was absolutely no customers. My wife and I were the only ones ordering cendol, even with raindrops falling on our heads. The cendol is served in stainless steel bowls, which makes them icy cold. I can smell the wonderful aroma of the palm sugar even before we arrive at the stall.

The coconut milk was noticeably diluted today. And we soon found out why. While we were still consuming the cendol, the seller's wife returned to the stall with a plastic bag of santan. She proceeded to scold him for forgetting to bring the santan and she had to rush back to get it.
In comparison to the cendol at Keng Kwee Street, the Macalister Lane cendol is lighter in colour. I believe it is made using only pandan juice, and no additional colouring, hence the softer colour.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
