Cendol (pronounced Chen-Dole) is a type of dessert that consists of white coconut milk, thin pandan-flavoured green-coloured flour noodles, palm sugar (gula melaka), red beans, and shaved ice. Sweet corn could also be added. Cendol is a wonderful complement for a hot summer's day.
Ais Kacang (pronounced Ice Kah-Chaang) is a type of dessert for a hot summer's day, consisting of shaved ice served with sweet flavoured syrup and jelly. Kacang is a malay word for bean, and ais kacang also comes with a helping of sweet red beans. Often, a large serving of attap chee (palm seed), sweet corn, grass jelly, cubes of agar agar and cendol form the base. Evaporated milk is drizzled over the mountain of ice.

I'm going to Mersing on 21/Mar, may I know how to get to Lok Tien & Mersing Cafe for best coffee and seafood.
Loke Tien Yuen restaurant
Location: At same row as east coast guesthouse; 55 Jalan Abu Bakar, Mersing. Open for lunch from 12.00pm - 2.30pm.
Try the pizza or the lasagna at Restoran P1, Jln. Dato Mohd Ali, round the corner from Eddies Internet Cafe (towards the river). Cheap, large, delicious!

Does anyone know if there's a 24hour mamak or kopi tiam or anything that's 24 hours at Mersing town or jetty or near either?
This year (Jun) i tried out Mersing famous Cendol. Hard to believe that it does not taste like before. After a talk with Owner...he dnt make it anymore but his staff. Hai..sad..
In front of Fu shun Temple have a Kopi Tiam as well. You hardly get a place during morning and tea break time. Thumbs up!! Very Local..
Al hamid is no longer as good as commented before. I'm actually sitting here and regretting this whole ordeal!
U all should try satey at Sri Pantai! Green House Part II near there also cant't miss!
avoid Mersing Seafood Restaurant ("le yuan" in chinese) - 56, Jln Ismail, 86800 Mersing, or maybe because we were tourist so we deserved it.
steamed fish was not fresh, rice crust was served, and dont ever question if you see the locals smoking inside the air-con restaurant unless you want some fight with the restaurant staff.
