Rojak & Cendol, Jalan Dato' Pathmanaban, Port Dickson

Rojak and Cendol goes hand in hand....like horse and carriage, love and marriage.  It was no different when Moo took me to this stall located at an open area (together with several other stalls), located along Jalan Dato Pathmanaban (Jalan Lama) for tea time!

I recalled it was puasa time and I wasn't sure whether we were too early or it was simply the fact that some proprietors took time off and didn't set up stall as usual. Although our eyes wanted us to feast on the several delights there, our stomach told us that we could only take in a plate of rojak and .... cendol, of course.

At such prices, we were wondering at this point in time whether we should also try the ABC! Hahaha...

We put in our order of rojak first. The stall looked tidy and clean, well organized indeed.  Our order came promptly and was served with a smile :o)

The rojak was quite good.  Obviously it's all about the sauce!  The sweetness was just right and so was the consistency of it. Well, the fritters were fresh; together with the julienned vegetables of turnips, cucumber and tofu, it was a nice tea time snack.

Next up, Cendol!

The cendol was one of the good ones that I have tasted (will blog on more cendol put to the taste test in future posts).  I have always like to add sweet corn and red bean into my order. The coconut milk was aromatic and had enough gula melaka (palm sugar) without being overly sweet.  At this point we were sold on the idea that the ABC (Ais Batu Campur) was probably good too...

Hence, order an ABC we did!  It had lovely colours and was a tad too sweet for our tastebuds.  We walked over and asked for more shaved ice to be added.  It was okay, with the cendol definitely being the better of the two choices in terms of taste and even price.

To be continued ....more from the stalls here

Once in a young lifetime one should be allowed to have as much sweetness
as one can possibly want and hold.
