It’s similar to the sliced ice in Taiwan, but tastes different. They also put beans, jelly, and milk on it. One thing that is unique to this Malaysian-style slice ice is that there is cendol in it.
Cendol is a green jelly invented by the Indians (I am not sure about its origin). It looks like the sticky stuff you sneeze out when you're having a very, very serious flu, but it tastes really good. In an equatorial country like Malaysia, ice kacang is one of the most popular coolants.
