Want to know what other "twins" besides the Twin Towers are famous in Malaysia?
This video showcases two popular evergreen season street desserts that locals and foreigners love to get their saliva flowing. It's none other than the twin favourites of ROJAK and CENDOL. Firstly, ROJAK, which literally means "mixed up", is a concoction of cucumber ,shrimp paste, radish cuts, fried tou foo, some with cuttlefish and fritters, and noodles, all mixed up into a slurpy sumptuous  dessert that is usually had as an afternoon or tea-time snack. The mixture gives a sweet, salty and sour taste that is just addictive ! Indeed, most countries in ASEAN have similar varieties of ROJAK on their street. CENDOL too has different versions in ASEAN countries but all centred around the wormy like rice flour jelly which is called CENDOL itself. The CENDOL is served as a dessert in a mixture of palm or brown sugar, some coconut milk, pandan leave juice and lots of ice shavings. It tastes really tempting on a hot day. ROJAK and CENDOL complements each other perfectly and are consumed together at strategically located road side stalls that have become landmarks of sorts in places like Petaling Jaya. Take a look at the video. The crowd can be seen concentrating on their orders with enthusiasm ! Don't end your day without trying these cool  twin favourites.
