Tucked inside Chinatown Complex, this stall keeps things simple by doing one thing right—serving icy bowls of traditional chendol to cut through the humid afternoon heat. Bowls arrive stacked with soft shaved ice, intensely fragrant pandan jelly strands, tender red beans, and rich coconut milk laced with smoky gula melaka. Regulars come specifically for the balanced sweetness, while adventurous diners ask for a dollop of pure Mao Shan Wang durian on top.
- Single-Item Focus: Rather than juggling a broad hawker dessert lineup, the stall focuses squarely on classic chendol.
- Durian Upgrade: Purists can upgrade their bowl with pure Mao Shan Wang durian flesh for a rich, aromatic punch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Old Amoy Chendol serve and what toppings can you add?
The stall focuses on traditional chendol made with pandan jelly strands, fresh coconut milk, gula melaka, and red beans. You can customize your bowl with add-ons such as chewy attap chee (palm seed) or real Mao Shan Wang (MSW) durian flesh.
Should you share a bowl or order individually?
The chendol is served in compact single-person bowls designed to be eaten quickly before the shaved ice melts in the hawker heat. Diners note it is best enjoyed as an individual portion rather than shared.
How do you find the stall inside Chinatown Complex?
Old Amoy Chendol is located on the second floor of Chinatown Complex Food Centre (Yellow Zone, unit #02-008). Because the complex is large and can be tricky to navigate, ask locals or look for stall #02-008 facing outward. The hawker centre is naturally ventilated and gets warm, so aim for seating near fans.
What payment methods and dining options are available?
The stall accepts both cash and digital e-payments. Takeout is available, though the finely shaved ice melts quickly in the warm weather, and patrons dining in should return their trays and bowls to the designated station.
