Red Bean Series - ABC (Ais Batu Campur) aka Ais kacang



No doubt, "ABC" (Ais Batu Campur) is the mother of all Malaysian dessert.

What does "ais kacang"? It is literally "iced beans".

Basically, ABC consists of shaved ice, showered with red and brown syrup, plus red beans, jelly and sweet corns, "attap chi" and evaporated milk.

Additionally, certain type of ABC is chilled up by a cup of ice cream on the top. :)

It costs from RM1.50 to RM3.50 per bowl, depending on the amount of the ingredients.

The famous place for selling ABC in Penang :
- Lorong Selamat coffee shop
- Swatow Lane
