My friends and I are always on the lookout for good makan joints and first on all our lists is the rojak and cendol combo.
Last Sunday, while scouting for a new makan spot we stumbled upon a famous rojak stall in Taman Pengkalan Batu, Klang on google.
Armed with the coordinates from a food blog, we Wazed our way there in 20mins. On our way we had our doubts since the road seemed to lead no where but once again the app did not fail us.

When we parked we saw this huge banner hanging from one of the stalls at the Klang Municipal Food Court. Mind you there are three sections here but only one section was occupied by the rojak stall while the others seem to be abandoned.
It was a wonder that this one outlet is still operational and rather popular with diners.

We were first confused because the crowd seemed to gravitate towards the Nasi ala Kandar as I call it but after establishing that both the rojak and Nasi Kandar was one and the same, we got down to business.
We ordered a bowl of cendol, a plate of rojak and of course the Nasi Kandar.
First of all lets talk about the Rojak. It was pretty good actually. The gravy was nice and thick, but most importantly it was flavourful. My only letdown was the fact that I couldn't bite into the crunchy peanut bits because it was ground really well.

Next was the cendol. One look at it and I thought it was Ice Kacang. It was pretty weird that they addsweet corn and other Ice Kacang condiments but surprise surprise it tasted good. It didn't have the overwhelming taste of coconut milk and that is always good.

| The cendol was unique with additional ingredients like kidney beans and jelly but it was rather tasty. |
The Nasi Ala Kandar for me was delicious. The hot steamy rice, coupled with the rich curry was really awesome. I loved the fact that the curry had a good amount flavor and did not taste of curry powder. So thumbs up!

The fried chicken for me was the best dish for the day. The chicken was juicy and tender on the outside while the skin was crispy and flavourful... Dip in the curry and voila....

We also took the fried fish but it lacked salt for me
