Best Ice Kacang in KL

When it comes to a cooling and refreshing bowl of ais kacang, many like them sweet. This humble, roadside stall gets that part right, as their ais kacang boasts a wonderfully sweet flavor and aftertaste - in fact some may even find it a sickeningly sweet but each to their own, right? On the plus side, they only cost you RM2.50 for a bowl, which is super affordable for KL standards.So why not head on down and cool yourself off from the immense heat of Malaysia with a simple bowl of Ice Kacang?

The Kepong Baru morning market is almost always filled to the brim with neighborhood go-ers, and one of the infamous stalls that most would visit is May May's ais kacang stall. Their shaved ice is distinguishable with its packed, longish height as compared to the usual mound. Are you a durian fan? Then you can opt for the pungent durian version which is topped with durian puree. If not, there are a multitude of options available to choose from, with variations such as explosive jelly, grass jelly, cendol, fruits and many more. So if you're into options, then definitely do come here!

The smiley lady behind the humble stall has been dishing out awesome bowls of ais kacang for years - and it doesn't end here. The mound of shaved ice is so cooling, yet dissolves satisfyingly in the mouth like cotton candy. The best goodies like black cincau, kidney beans and strips of cendol are also hidden inside the shaved ice, all topped with her in-house gula melaka syrup. Not to worry if there are plenty of people as all the ingredients are set in a line before actually shaving the ice on them. So stay frosty!

Despite being a food court stall, they serve a rather pretty looking ais kacang as opposed to the usual messy goodness you know of. Their ais kacang consists of finely shaved ice, with multiple toppings placed on the side; hence adding the pretty 'wow' factor. You can get plenty of mashed red beans, creamed corn, peanuts and soft cooked red beans with cincau in the this sweet bowl of delights. For less than 4 bucks, this bowl of ice kacang is certainly well worth the money. The only downside would be the ambiance of the place, as it's not exactly ideal.
