Cendol is undoubtedly Malaysia’s signature sweet! Over time, people from around the world have added their own twists to it, making it a beloved dessert for many. But have you ever seen cendol creatively (or mistakenly) transformed from sweet to savory?

Japanese content creator @sora_fula is making waves online after mistaking cendol for a savory item and creating a mushy green ramen dish out of it!

“What is this, Malaysians?”

Believing that cendol was a type of noodle, Sora created what she called ‘Malaysian ramen,’ unaware that cendol is actually a sweet dish!

“Today I will be trying Malaysian ramen.”

In the video, she was seen enthusiastically shopping for ingredients at the supermarket, including cendol, not realizing that it is commonly used for desserts rather than savory dishes.

Malaysian ramen using cendol!

Despite not knowing what cendol actually is or why the noodle-like substance is green, she decided to make the dish anyway, demonstrating step by step how she planned to cook it.

She began preparing the dish with ingredients like garlic, oil, bean sprouts, water, soup stock, soy sauce, and cendol used as noodles.

“Please teach me”

After preparing the dish, Sora excitedly took a taste of the cendol ramen. However, when she tried it, she noticed that the cendol had turned unexpectedly soft after cooking.

She kept expressing her confusion, wondering if she had cooked it for too long and unsure why the texture had become so soft. She even humorously asked for help online, inviting everyone to let her know what went wrong and to assist her.
