Ah Yeo Ice Kacang

It was a hot, hot afternoon, but I brought the folks to attend to some banking matters .... and after that, where else was there to go except to quench our thirst? On top of my head was ice kacang .... and there were plenty of places to have it. But nearest to us at that time was the Jubilee Ground Hawker Centre.

One popular stall there was Stall no. 2, Ah Yeo's. He's been in business since 1962! And guess what? The folks actually knew him.

Stall no. 2

The menu here is extensive, with very interesting names like White Lady, Pink Lady ... Romeo, Juliet, Lady Gaga ... the list goes on .. but boring old me decided to go with the very basic ABC. 

 ABC with milk, RM2.00
One could choose to have their ABC flavoured with coconut milk; Ah Yeo himself thought that coconut milk brought a richer flavour to the dessert. Nah ... I preferred mine with milk anyway. :P 

The hidden gems incuded red adzuki beans, green cendol, grass jelly, tiny sago pearls ... 

The ingredients were generous enough, and the dessert wasn't cloyingly sweet so it was to my liking. Lots of people here on a hot, hot afternoon tucking into spoonfuls of iced cold desserts. Meanwhile, the air was filled with the pungent aroma of belacan .....

Ah Yeo doesn't sell belacan beehoon .... but the stall adjacent to his sells. It's just specifically stated on a piece of cardboard stuck to the wall in broken English that THEY DO NOT DELIVER TO THE NEXT STALL ....

Oops .... sounds like serious rivalry .... will try the belacan beehoon next time. :P
