Will take you to try out this famous dessert.

foodbin – Do try it on your next visit.
Little Inbox – Only available in this place in town.
fayefly – This place is very famous in Penang especially the durian ice cream.

Thank you for posting on this dessert! Didn’t know why but it makes me feel so warm in the heart especially the agar-agar. They just look so nice and simple, and makes me miss home a lot. I would definitely check this place out if I visit Penang!

Big Boys Oven´s last blog post..James & Cissie’s Wedding Desserts at Tanarimba, Janda Baik
In the 50s and 60s the shop was very popular for its Cocktail Ice Kacang. Price at 60 cents per bowl it was more expensive than Hokkien Mee which sold at 10 and 20 cents per bowl; never more than 20 cents in fact. Schoolboys would venture to treat schoolgirls as a first bait for dating. Just imagine how far they went to woo the girls when they could not treat themselves… hahaha
Now who said there was gender equality or inequality whichever way you desire to coin the nomenclature… hahaha
Awesome….even ice kacang they served you durian ice cream ! Mouth-watering and I can only slurps it off the monitor screen (“,) SLURPS SLURPS SLURPING……
Elin´s last blog post..Streaky Bacon Fried Rice With Salted Egg Yolk
this looks so yummy! too bad, i have came back from penang or i would definitely try this out..sure hope my next trip will be soon! btw, thks for all your recommendations and help in helping me plan my itinerary. i have tried most of the food as planned, the ah leng ckt (really v good!), the penang road chendol (love it), the coconut jelly (my family loves this and i am dreaming about bringing it into singapore), Hock seng rojak (can’t forget the sauce, the uncle was very kind to give me two boxes of sauce, one with chilli and the other without), the lorbak at Sin Kheng Aun was unforgettable…the list goes on. Now have to go on a diet to lose the weight i have gained during the trip
CK…by looking at your post really make me feel like I want to try the ice kacang immediately….especially nowadays the weather so hot, how nice I can have a bowl of ice kacang … Will definitely feel very good….
giNnA´s last blog post..Rasa Sayang’s Spice Market Cafe_Penang
Big Boys Oven – Their quality and taste has been consistence all the years which is why customers keep returning for it. Penangites are still very lucky to have it right at their doorsteps.
Penang Tionghua – Well, this still continues with schoolboys treating schoolgirls and also the other way round but mostly will be in food franchise outlets.
Elin – Haha…make sure you wipe your saliva out of the keyboard and screen.
sakaigirl – You have to try out this version of ice kacang when you are in town. You cannot get it elsewhere.
octopusmum – I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed your Penang makan trip. Do let me know when you intend to drop in again. Will plan another itinerary for you with this ice kacang included
giNnA – Ice Kacang is always a favorite item for many. I love it but not those that comes with pieces of nutmeg.
the bowl of ice is super colorful! how i wish i can have it now during this warm and hot weather!
ai wei´s last blog post..My ‘Dairy’ need
I bought 20 bags after seen this blog…..but all of my colleague said “taste so bad”….. =(
The best ice kacang in Penang is at Hot & Spicy Cafe, Jalan Air Itam (main road), in front of the old Choon Nam cinema, opposite Public Bank Air Itam branch, just a few doors away from Shell petrol station.
RM2.80 per plate with ice-cream.

I think the Famous Ais Kacang is at Penang Hill LuYi Ais Kacang Since 1986.
