75 Peanut Soup
1 Kadayanallur Street #01-57, Maxwell Food Centre (Map) 7.30am - 4pm Sun
Mr Peh Cheng Giap is the third generation in his family helming this stall and he's getting on in age, we seen him a work over the decades and the speed. shows. But it's still made, old fashioned hand work style by boiling them in pots at the back of the stall (though he uses a huge electric boiler non). When you first tear into their peanut soup, you can sense they cooked it till it turns soft, almost creamy and disintegrates in the mouth upon first bite. They now use a lot less sugar than we first knew. It is so easy in, especially when had with the hard-hitting hawker fare in this famous food centre. The other favourite of ours is the red bean soup, cook till smooth and soft with bits of sago and lotus seed and perfumed by some dried tangerine peel- and old school secret.

This one has a difference but yet draws the same love, it is Indian in style and not like many others here. They use crushed, not shaved ice and it delivers a lovable crunchy texture on the way in. They too, are easy on the sugar quotient these days. When you let this sit, it turns into a coconut milky Chendol with soft chendol pandan jelly and sweet red bean drink with bits of crushed iced- very similar to the Indian versions in Penang. The milky coconut intensity is light and makes it so drinkable.
