Food Review - SS2 Glutton Street ABC

Name
SS2 ABC (Stall #11)
FoodABC or Ice-Kacang (Malaysian Shaved Ice Dessert)
LocationSS2 Glutton Street/Square
(http://wikimapia.org/7604456/SS2-Wai-Sik-Kai-Glutton-Street)

Getting there
Sandwiched within the SS2 Shop-lot Square. You can’t miss it once within the square. (Please refer to the map above)

Note: This is not a stall at the Pasar Malam (Night Market)

ParkingAmple parking spaces around the area either in front of the shop lots or in the open car park areas.
ServiceNo-frills and fuss-free.

AmbienceThis is the precursor to the newer concept of Medan Seleras (Food Courts). So in the Klang Valley, this would be one of the oldest ones around compared to the likes of the Ming Tien, SS19 Food Courts, etc. So, it’s typical Food Court ambience.

Taste
The shaved ice was very fine (much better than what I had expected). Personally, this has always been the biggest problem for me with stalls that either sell Cendol or ABC – the ice shavings are too coarse to be enjoyed. I have only been able to find a couple of places that I thought were OK. This is one of the few.

The Gula Melaka (Malaccan Brown Sugar) was also quite fragrant although not as thick or viscous as what we would find at the Jonker 88 Stall in Melaka. Very nice! Would definitely go back for more.

PresentationServed in a typical plastic bowl for such deserts.
Variety
Being a drinks/desert stall, they also serve other types of drinks and deserts.

Value for MoneyAt RM2.30 a bowl, it’s not the cheapest but it is value for money because it is a very good bowl of ABC and they do not skimp on the ingredients.

OverallNice one. Do give it a try.
