Kow Po Ice Cream @ Bentung

Ching Ming festival is at the corner, but we usually go back hometown (my father's hometown to be exact) early (weekends) to perform our duty as a grand children, grand grand children, the descendants of the passed away relatives, what duty are we talking about here? Oh, just to clean up the graves, burn some offerings, those paper made items like clothes, money, or hell money, anything, you name it, even cars and buildings.

OK, we are not gonna talk about that in this post, that might deserve a whole story of its own. Don't forget, it's Eat Eat Eat this post about.

On the way back to KL, father brought us to a famous ice cream store in Bentong. My uncle and aunt actually wanted to bring us here last time, when we went back to attend a relative wedding dinner, but it was closed that time. It is the Kow Po ice cream store. Located at the block next to petrol station (Petronas I think), just before The Store shopping mall (which looks like already closed shop), in Bentong, this shop only sells icy cold stuffs, ABC, ice cream, cendol, etc. and it's all time favorite, mixing 3 of the above!


The Kow Po ice cream!

According to dad, this shop has over 10 years of history, and looks like it's still the favorite of the locals.

When we reached there, I couldn't believe my eyes, people was waiting, queuing at the entrance. And when I went in, full house, every tables has been seated, what the, they are just here for the ice cream? Is it that good?


Look at the crowd!

We finally managed to get a seat and sat ourselves down. I was not sure what to order because it doesn't seem to have menu or something, so I just let dad do the job. "3 glasses", dad told the waitress. 3 glasses of what? I started to look around, some of them having ice cream, drinks, and most having this cup thingy, with ice cream on top, I guess that's what we are getting.

Few minutes later, the waitress delivered our stuffs. To my surprise, it's cendol, no, cendol with ice cream on top, eerr.. no, cendol with ABC and ice cream on top? After taking several spoons, I found out there were lots more in that cup, cendol, sweetcorn, peach, jelly, pineapple, and of course, ice cream, and the mixture tasted quite good!


Cendol + ABC + Ice Cream + etc. Special kind of dessert.

And how much for each? RM3. For me, I think still worth it, the size is adequate enough to clear your thirst, and the taste was not bad for a dessert.

And ya, before we leave, we managed to check out how they make that cup of mixtures, apparently those fruit punch thingy, all those jelly and fruits, were from those canned mixed fruit, which can get it from most supermarkets, so next time we can try to make it ourself?
