Best Ice Kacang in Melaka

Tai Chong (Hygienic) Ice Cafe is one of the most pioneer ice-cream maker in town, in addition to serving traditional shaved ice desserts, the old school way. Till today, it is still serving this authentic “pat-pooh” ice at this rundown cafe, portrays a similar resemblance of a coffee shop like vibe. Your trip to Melaka is never complete without dropping by for a bowl of shaved ice drenched with syrup and evaporated milk, followed by a final dollop of homemade ice cream of your choice. On top of that, this is one of the cheapest old school dessert that you can’t find elsewhere!

Saturday Ice Cafe is another local favourite spot that you wouldn't want to miss. There are various tempting hawker food here and flavourful refreshing dessert such as Saturday Iced Pat-Pooh here. It is robust with syrup and evaporated milk. Besides, there are extra toppings for this one - two pieces of biscuit sticks and a scoop of choco-vanilla ice-cream.

Another old Chinese kopitiam that is easily missed as it does not really stands out. Low Kong Jong Ice Cafe is famous for its classic ice kacang and traditional Chinese desserts such as sweet peanut soup. For add ons, you may order extra toppings such as sweet corn puree. Besides, if you happened to be taking a stroll along Jonker Walk area, this place is just within walking distance. How convenient is that!

Since 1952, Cendol Jam Besar Melaka is located by the route of Melaka river cruise, directly opposite the Red Square Clock Tower. When it comes to doing a historical sightseeing, Cendol Jam Besar is always the target kiosk where people go to, to rehydrate. It used to operate via a make-do mangosteen shaped kiosk, but eventually it has evolved into a more conventional stall. If you’re not fond of the legendary Indian-Muslim ABC or ice kacang, go for its cendol.
