As I said, i'll be posting it based on the least nice one to the nicest one..
This is so-called the second nicest/least nicest one.. Well, this is a bit different from the normal Singapore's ice cendol. This is actually the ice chendol from Bengawan Solo, a cake shop established by Indonesian in Singapore. Well, though they are Singaporeans now..
I was expecting a more Indonesian taste and there i got it, but not so much as nice as the original Indonesia's Ice cendol, yeah but better than normal Spore's ones.
First look: small bowl, big hill of ice with palm sugar
can see a bit of cendol, mixture of melted ice with palm sugar and coconut milk.
Well, the red beans are quite bigger than usual.. However, the chendol isn't as good as Indo one, can see from the color as I've mentioned. And the palm sugar and the coconut is too much for a small portion of es cendol..
Appearance ♥♥♥◦◦ - Can't really comment on the appearance, probably too plain?
Tastiness ♥♥♥◦◦ - I'll give a decent point since it's not so bad, but not so good either
Sinfulness ♥♥♥♥◦ - Tooooo sweeeet.. I usually don't leave leftovers

Es Cendol - Ice Chendol attack 1!
Well, this is another attack series.. This time it's another indonesian dish but this time is dessert!
Hehehe.. Since I've got the same type of dessert from 3 different places, let's do an attack series.. hahaha..
Es cendol (es = ice, and cendol is a phlegm like thing). Well, in fact phlegm itself can also be referred as cendol, and the ironic thing is (getting abit disgusting here), the more the color looks like phlegm, the better the cendol tastes.
We'll start from the least delicious cendol. From normal foodcourt in Singapore, it taste roughly the same.
The color, looks very un-natural, though I believe we all do not have any idea how a color of cendol should be, but the color of this one doesn't look appealing to me.
I don't want to argue about the origin, wiki says that It's from Indonesia and I do believe so as well. Because it's from Indonesia, it's only natural that I tend to assume that the original color of cendol should look like those in Indonesia.
For this one, The es cendol is:
cendol (the green thing), red beans, ice, black jellies, coconut milk, palm sugar (javanese sugar).
Here's the rating
Appearance ♥♥◦◦◦ - Standard look though, not that attractive
Tastiness ♥♥◦◦◦ - ♥♥♥◦◦ (2 or 3) - Taste is so-so, well at least here in Singapore, they are creative enough to add toppings like mango or durian paste.
Sinfulness ♥♥♥◦◦ - If it's not that nice, it's not that sinful.
