75 Peanut Soup
1 Kadayanallur Street #01-57, Maxwell Food Centre (Map) 7.30am - 2pm Sun
This once artisinal handmade ah boling has gone to the central factory chain stall format. Their stuffed glutinous rice balls now come out of a box, frozen and thawed before they simmer them in a clear sweet soup or peanut soup. They come in a few flavours..green bean, matcha, yam paste, peanut, black sesame etc. It's still one of the better chain stalls around but it's a highway off the original quality some 10 years back.

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.
