由来

马来语 cendol 的音译。
据说源自于印度尼西亚爪哇，是巽他人（Sundanese）喜欢吃的在地甜品。原先在那里所使用的材料相当简单，先将砂糖椰子树（sugar palm）的萃取物做成面粉，以食品染料染成绿色，煮后呈粘稠状。接着，把面糊制作成粉条，再淋上椰糖和椰浆。
在新加坡，这道甜品也会加上刨冰和淋上椰奶，再加上红豆、玉米、亚答籽等材料，吃起来更美味爽口。

ETYMOLOGY

The Mandarin term “浆绿” is the transliteration of the Malay term cendol.
Cendol is said to have originated from Java, Indonesia, where it is a popular dessert among the Sundanese. The original ingredients are quite simple. Extract from the sugar palm tree is first made into flour, coloured green with food dye, and boiled into a starchy paste, before being extruded into short noodle-like strands. The strands are then doused with gula melaka and coconut milk.
In Singapore, this dessert has come to be commonly served with shaved ice and toppings such as coconut milk, red beans, sweet corn and attap seeds, making it even more delicious and refreshing.
