I just love ais kacang or air batu campur (ABC) on a hot day. Heck, I'll have it even on rainy days, if I can!Air batu, if directly translated to English, means "stone water", while campur means mixed. Kacang is a Malay word for bean, and ais means ice.
ABC used to be made of ice shavings, red beans and sugar syrup. Nowadays, you can find varieties of ABC, which contain nata de coco or coconut jelly, lychee, sweet corn, grass jelly, cendol and so forth. Gula melaka syrup is usually used as sweetener, along with evaporated milk.
The one in the pic is an ABC special with vanilla ice cream topping. Just like halo-halo in The Philippines, air batu campur is a popular dessert in Malaysia. Enjoy!

Shem! Hehe go and satisfy your ABC craving asap! :) I feel like having
one right now! :):) But I prefer cendol with santan than ABC,
actually. :)
oooohhh i love cendol with santan tooo!! it actually depends on my mood..
usually i prefer cendol because it's not so sweet. with abc, you've got the
ice cream and what not.. so it can be sickly sweet.. but best jugak to have
during the heatwave. Last time there's this uncle who jual cendol near
masjid at taman tun!! Ooohhh delightful!!!!! :) RM1 only per bowl.
_____
Oh RM1 per bowl, so cheap! There's one at Petaling Street, sells
pasembor too. Alamak, now craving for 'em foodies! :P
I love regular ABC with red beans, sweet corn, those green lengkong
thingy and some bits of black cincau, with evaporated milk and rose
syrup. Yummy enough for me hehehe...don't fancy ABC special hehe...
aiyoooo talking about foodies.. J went to work. cannot bring me search for
foodies!! LOL! now you mention pasembor, I also want!! hahahaha. true true..
regular ABC will still hit the spot!! One thing I like about going back to
KK, my mom's friends always do potluck, and always someone will sedia
ingredients for the DIY ABC. I like mine with lots of green lengkong thingy,
red beans, sweet corn and a bit of kacang tumbuk, with syrup and evaporated
milk! Aiyooooo.. drooool drooool drooooool!!!
_____
Let me drool with you, Shem!! I don't think I'll be able to get me
some ABC and pasembor today either..huhu..guess I'll have to wait. :)

_____

yesterday, he interrupted me and I forgot about it lol! And he went
grocery-shopping without buying me any snacks. :P Oh enjoy Pelham 123,
