Step 1
Make the palm sugar syrup: stir palm sugar with 150 ml water until sugar dissolves completely, ~2 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
Step 2
If using frozen cendol, thaw under cold running water until noodles separate easily. Drain well.
Step 3
Warm coconut milk gently with 150 ml water and salt until steaming (don't boil). Stir in pandan extract. Let cool slightly, then chill.
Step 4
Divide cendol between two bowls. Pour cooled palm syrup over the noodles.
Step 5
Add a handful of ice to each bowl, then pour the pandan coconut milk on top.
Step 6
Stir gently before serving. The syrup and coconut milk will swirl together as you eat.
