Method

Prep the toppings

Drain the Palm Seeds (Attap Chee) well and put them in a small bowl. Open the Creamed Sweet Corn, canned, coarsely crush the Roasted Peanuts, and cut the Grass Jelly (Cincau) into small cubes. Keep the Cendol and the Adzuki Beans (cooked and sweetened) chilled until you assemble the bowls.

Prep the syrup base

Chop the Palm Sugar (Gula Melaka) into small pieces so it melts quickly. Rinse the Pandan Leaf, tie it into a knot, and set it aside with the sugar.

Simmer the syrup

Put the chopped palm sugar, knotted pandan leaf, Water, and a small pinch of Fine Salt into a saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved and the syrup looks glossy and lightly thickened. Remove the pandan leaf and let the syrup cool completely before assembling.

Assemble ABC

Divide the Shaved Ice between 4 serving bowls, piling it high. Spoon the palm seeds, creamed corn, grass jelly, cendol, and adzuki beans over the ice, then drizzle on the cooled gula melaka syrup, Evaporated Milk, and Sirap Merah. Finish with the crushed peanuts and serve right away.
