This is ais kacang (in Penang) / ice kacang (in Singapore) or commonly called ABC elsewhere in Malaysia.
ABC is an acronym for Air Batu Campur,
that literally means "mixed ice." This is a popular Malaysian dessert
made of shaved ice with several ingredients such as red beans, sweet
corn, palm seed, and even ice cream topped with evaporated milk,
condensed milk, or coconut milk.
When I first encountered this mouth-watering dessert in Kuala Lumpur, I suddenly missed my own country's halo-halo
(Tagalog for mix-mix). Thanks to my Malaysian friends who gave me a
treat during my KL trip. Now I have a new meaning for ABC! It means
refreshment!
When you get to visit Malaysia, don't forget to try
this out, a perfect way to refresh one's senses! Check out any coffee
shops, hawker centers and food courts.
