HOW TO MAKE

1. Pour some water into a large bowl and add plenty of ice.
2. Pour another 100 ml of water into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Slowly add the mung bean flour, stirring constantly. Once the mixture is thick and paste-like, stir in the pandan essence and remove from the heat. Push the paste through the holes of a colander directly into the ice bath to form short noodles. The noodles will harden in the water and can remain there for a while, but if you are making them in advance, they can be scooped out and stored in a container with some coconut milk in the refrigerator.
3. Finely shave some palm sugar and stir it into a small amount of hot water to make a dark syrup.
4. Shave or crush some more ice.
5. To serve, layer the ingredients in a tall glass, starting with the cendol noodles, then the toddy palm seeds and jackfruit. Top with coconut milk and lots of shaved ice and drizzle with a little palm sugar syrup. Serve with a long spoon and straw.

NOTES

If you cannot find mung bean flour then rice flour will suffice but it will be mildly different in flavour, and more like the Malaysian style of cendol than the traditional Indonesian.
