Mao shan wang chendul from 99 Old Trees

99 Old Trees, mao shan wang chendul

I liked the idea for this one because I'm good with chendol I love mao shan wang. But there were some things about the bowl which....I had gripes with. Durian (as much as I enjoyed it) was a little too cold and stiff.

Chendol's just the green noodles, coconut milk and gula melaka - no red beans. The latter two weren't particularly fragrant and the whole bowl tasted icy. Durian aside, Nonya Chendol's rendition or even the one from the food court at Tangs Market were superior to this. Didn't dislike this but I'll stick to their Stinky Bombs and Stinky Bowls since it's really just durian I'm looking forward to whenever I come here.
