We finished our meal at Famosa
Chicken Rice Ball and left the place feeling pretty dejected. We trudged
down Jonker Street toward Jonker 88 hoping that some excellent Melaka 1Cendol
would soothe our wounded palates.
1a traditional dessert of coconut milk, jelly
noodles made from rice flour with green food coloring (usually derived from the
pandan leaf), shaved ice and palm sugar (in this case, gula melaka). Other
ingredients such as red beans, glutinous rice, grass jelly, creamed corn, might
also be included
Alas, turned out Jonker 88 was closed on Mondays but
its next door neighbor was not. 88 or 86 did not matter to us so long as there
was some Cendol to be had.

We promptly ordered three heaping bowls of Cendol and waited
with glee.
Truth be told, we’ve never sampled Jonker 88 before
(most times that we came by there were long queues in the blazing just to get a
seat!). Longhouse 86 on the other hand, did not enjoy the same popularity which
is puzzling to us, because as far as we are concerned the Cendol here was
excellent. We will however, reserved our judgement until after we’re been able
to sample the Cendol next door.
