If the Penang Assam Laksa is the seventh among the world’s fifty most delicious food, then Ice Kacang could easily be one of the world’s most delicious desserts. It definitely tops my favorite dessert list. Ice kacang is a sweet blend of fine crushed ice and condiments of fruit, pea nuts, red beans, sweet corn, chendol (green colored rice strips), jelly, fruits of the nipah palm (attap chee), grass jelly, evaporated milk, coconut milk, gula melaka and syrup.
The fruits, the nuts, seeds, sweets and beans usually sit at the bottom of a bowl, or cup, heaped with crushed fine ice, with the coconut milk and milks drizzle on top.
My treasured memories and palate centre overflows with images of this sweet dessert. Its flavour and textures are so inviting.The best Ice Kacang is from a stall under a shady tree along Jalan Kulim, a few hundred meters after the District Hospital
It has my very best vote as the Ice Kacang uncle at the stall has concocted this sweet dessert in the perfect mix that has drawn many followers.
Very delightfully satisfying…………as it melts inside your mouth. It is so-delicious it keeps me coming back for more.
