The ‘salted caramel’ taste in the cendol comes from gula melaka, which is palm sugar. Y’al should try going up to penang hill, visit some durian plantations and try the red prawn durian (in season maybe in may-June) and Batu Ferringhi (a beach). Chew Jetty is also a unique spot in Georgetown too.

[@FloraandNote]

We'll definitely try some Malaysian durian before we leave! Is your favourite variety Red Prawn?

[@MereDustOnEarth]

@@FloraandNote Red Prawn towards sweetness; Black Thorn most expensive even than Musang King, but B.T. lighter texture, taste not as heavy as Musang King; I would go for Musang King for better texture proportion of dryness & wet, and strong bitter with light sweetness taste.

My advice is...if you take a rickshaw or tuk-tuk in any country, expect to be ripped off. These guys don't want nor care about your returned business. I'm sorry if I sound rude but it's always been my experience. It's a fun experience until they do something like this, ask for more than what they promised or take you to places you didn't ask to go to. They're worse than the taxi drivers.

[@jitty57]

BTW, this is the second time(different country) you got scammed on a ride, better not be the third, lol.

In Penang state they spoke Hokkien dialect. In Kuala Lumpur Cantonese dialect. Although Mandarin is rather widely spoken & understood .

[@WisdomRose]

Yup. Mandarin is even taught in schools (in Malaysia and Singapore) instead of Cantonese or Hokkien. So if you don't speak either Cantonese or Hokkien, but as long as you know Mandarin, you can pretty much get around in most parts of Malaysia that have significant Chinese populations since the majority of them will know Mandarin in addition to their native dialect. However, there are many amongst the younger generations (such as myself) who only know Mandarin and not so much of the other Chinese dialects. I can get around well in Mandarin, but my Cantonese is pretty bad and my Hokkien is non-existent, despite being primarily of Hokkien descent myself.

😄😄😄 Rickshaw's used to be a cheaper mode of transport in most Asian countries, however in recent times, most tourists have turned it into some sort of joyride/sightseeing tour thing and the rickshaw operators have realized this and started to overprice the ride. You should have been more brutal with the rickshaw rider when he tried to rip you off and just tell him you are paying $25 instead of the $50 because you only got a 15min ride instead of 30mins. Sounds harsh to do this, but unfortunately they prey on the "niceness" of most tourist as they know most will still see this as only a small sum of money...... and by the way, the Curry Noodles from that shop is my wife's favourite. On our last trip there, she insisted on going there nearly every morning for breakfast, knocking down 2 bowls each time...
