Ice Kacang

In our scorching hot weather,

Nothing tastes better,

Than a cool ice kacang,

The dessert with its irresistible charm.

 

The thirst -quenching concoction,

Favourite dessert of our nation,

ABC it’s fondly called,

Ais batu campur it is known to all.

 

A mixture of red beans, cendol, grass jelly and sweet corns,

A mountain of shaved ice drizzled with gula melaka or gula apong,

A final topping of evaporated milk or coconut milk,

A flavour smooth as silk.

 

Wickedly refreshing and tantalising,

Invigorating and revitalising,

When we think about quenching our thirst,

ABC will pop into our minds first.
