Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul (28 January 2013)
The Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul (GPS: 5.41711, 100.33072) is one of two very famous cendol stalls along Keng Kwee Street, near the junction with Penang Road. In an age when many roadside stalls have moved indoors, these two cendol stalls continue to remain as popular as ever within their respective locations.
The Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul is located on the south side of Keng Kwee Street, next to Joo Hooi Cafe, the coffee shop famous for its Penang laksa. In addition to cendol, the stall also sells ais kacang, iced chrysanthemum tea and rosewater, among others. The stall is owned by Mr Tan Chong Kim, who took over the business founded by his father Tan Teik Fung in 1936. From very humble beginnings, the business has grown into an empire, with cendol being distributed to various outlets across the country.
The Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul stall at Keng Kwee Street remains probably the most popular cendol stall in the country, with usually outstation visitors who form a long queue waiting for their bowl. It baffles me, considering this cendol is also available at various outlets of Giant hypermarket.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
