*Mamak hawker whose sells cendol (a traditional dessert originating from South East Asia) close to my house now selling 20 sen more than their normal price for a bowl a cendol. His reason, due to sugar price hike...I'm start thinking rapidly what the rationale behind this? As long as i know, the price hike is for table sugar (white sugar), not palm sugar (some kind of sugar derived from coconut) - which they normally use as main additive for cendol!!! I'm not sure whether they are now using white sugar to make their cendol and then added coloring to make it appear dark in color.
Furthermore, the 20 sen hike is for a KILO, not so many sugar needed to make a bowl or a glass of cendol! This is real bullshit!
This can be a reason for me not buying cendol anymore, even it's one of my favorite dessert.
How unlucky am I living in a country called Malaysia...!
*Mamak is a term used in Malaysia to describe the Indian Tamil Muslim community and culture.
