Memang best. Cendol biasa gula separuh pun dah cukup manis. Lepas ni nak try gula suku pulak. Dah 4 tahun beli kat sini.

This may be the World's First Zero Sugar Cendol!

Cendol Original (Small, No Sugar) = RM5.00

This is one of the Only 2 Cendol Stalls in this Dataran Niaga Taman Perling that you can visit if you want to Dine-In. Its the Smaller of the 2. There's only 2 Small Tables at this location. Run by a Very Friendly Malay Lady, and they have various types of Cendol Toppings available.

Cendol is absolutely one of the Worst Things you can eat if you are watching your Blood Sugar, or as another Google Reviewer eloquently described as "Putting Poison into your Body". Wierd Review btw, not sure if he's trying to praise or insult this stall lol.

Anyway I took a shot in the Dark and asked if she could do a Zero Sugar Version.

Of course she was Visibly Confused and probably thought I was pranking her, but nevertheless she was able to make it for me! I dunno if anyone has ever tried a Zero Sugar Cendol before, but if not, I think I may be the 1st person in the World to try such a thing!

How does a Zero Sugar Cendol taste like?

Despite its Rediculous Nature, a Zero Sugar Cendol is actually not as wierd as it sounds. Decently Presented, I thought the amount given is Acceptable for the price.

She gave alot of Green Cendol Jelly Worms and I thought they are Noticeably Softer then Regular Ones with a Melt in Mouth Quality about it. If the Google Reviewers for this place are correct, they are actually Homemade by this Malay Lady.

The Cendol Milk/Broth itself tastes Creamy, Milky and not at all Salty. I'm surprised there isn't any trace of Coconut Milk Taste within at all. It tastes very Unusual without a Sweet Element but not as Wierd as you may imagine (at least for me).

I'd describe Cendol without Sugar as drinking a Cold Green Milk. Plain, Creamy and Milky. Instead of Sugar as its Main Pillar, Milk now takes over its Duty. Certainly Very Unusual, but Strangely Very Compelling OK Tasting for me. I actually would not mind going Zero Sugar if I were to try Cendol from other places in the Future!

Tasting Cendol without Sugar was a Very Unique Experience that I actually appreciate Culinarily. It shows how important Sugar is in this Classic Dessert but even without it, I thought it brought a Brand New Dimension to a Very Familiar Taste that I have never explored before.

I wonder if anyone has ever attempted to make a Cendol but replace Regular Sugar with a Sugar-Substitute like Stevia or Monkfruit 罗汉果? Culinarily I can totally see it work well enough.

If you are a Traditionalist when it comes to your Food and Drinks, a Zero Sugar Cendol is definitely not for you. If however you are open to a More Experimental Experience and is Open-Minded to try something different, sure why not give this a go. You may be surprised yourself.

Most of all, I liked how Friendly and Accomodating this Stall Lady was. She was Obviously Amused by my Strange Request but I really appreciated how Nice and Polite she was. Hahaha she may not realize it but she may have made what is possibly the World's First Zero Sugar Cendol!

The chendol is fantastic, just go for the normal basic one is good enough, but more packets to enjoy later at home.
As for eating this with fried banana, well, it's so unhealthy, you're just putting in "poison into your body", just eat with moderation. Coming from someone who have Liver hardened due to too much oily food, please take care to avoid diabetes too.
Tips : Sorry to spoil the good review. If you want really good Banana and Durian fritter, go to the famous one at 86 Jln pahlawan 2. Guarrantee to satisfy.

My personal favorite cendol especially when you drink it after the ice cubes fully melted. Drink it whilst eating fried pisang tanduk from the food truck next to the cendol stall.
Excellent combination for evening meal.
