Old Amoy Chendol Main

The tapioca, brown sugar sauce, and the pandan paste are all gluten-free and does not appear to have peanut or nut products. The overall taste is quite pleasant especially to cool down on a hot day. There is ice underneath so it does melt quite quickly in Singapore so do eat this traditional dessert before too long.

Old Amoy Chendol’s Gula Melaka(Palm Sugar) is rich and fragrant, complementing their smooth chendol, creamy coconut milk, and tender red beans perfectly. Sweet-but-not-too-sweet, this old-school dessert is a must-try at Chinatown Food Centre—especially refreshing after a savoury meal on a hot day.

One of my go-to spots for authentic chendol! The Old Amoy stall has a few outlet but this one is always consistent. The ice shavings are incredibly fine, and the gula Melaka syrup is rich and fragrant—absolutely delicious. It's cheap, satisfying, and definitely a must-try when you're visiting this food centre.

If u are in Chinatown Area, and crave for some cold dessert. This is the place. They have 2 stalls… but I usually go to this stall after my chicken rice lunch…as this stall is less crowded. This chendol is the old school Chinese version. Not Malay style chendol. And I like it.

If you’re craving an authentic, traditional dessert in Singapore, the Old Amoy Chendol at Chinatown Food Centre is a must-try. The star of the bowl is undeniably the gula Melaka—thick, luxuriously fragrant, and brimming with the deep, caramel-like richness that only quality palm sugar can deliver. It strikes a perfect balance, sweetening the dish without overwhelming the palate. The chendol itself is a harmonious blend of textures and flavors: the pandan-infused jelly strips are soft yet springy, mingling with creamy coconut milk and finely shaved ice that melts into a silky pool. Every spoonful feels refreshing, especially with the subtle bitterness of red beans adding contrast to the sweetness. Simple yet expertly crafted, this dessert is a nostalgic treat that hits all the right notes. For those seeking a classic chendol experience with standout gula Melaka, Old Amoy’s version is a delightful indulgence. A sweet testament to tradition!
