Best Cendol and maybe Rojak stall in Bukit Beruntung


Best Cendol

Cendol a shaved ice dessert popular in Malaysia. It's the Bing Su (Korean shaved ice) of Malaysia. It contains green jelly, kidney beans and sweet corn topped with sweet condensed milk and syrup. There's many such stall selling Cendol but there's only one good one in Bukit Beruntung. Everytime when I'm around Bukit Beruntung I will visit this Indian guy's stall.

Cendol Baba - The best Cendol stall in Bukit Beruntung
The stall's location is just at the corner of the road in front of Restuarant Salam Sentosa Bistro at Bukit Sentosa 1. Personally, I believe why his Cendol tastes so good is because he uses an electrical ice shaving machine with the correct blade which will yield very fine ice particles. There is no big piece residues of ice in his servings, the ice are shaved very finely and evenly resulting in very smooth taste. The ingredients he uses also seems to have better quality, I notice the green jelly in the Cendol are slightly fatter than the skinny ones you get at the supermarket.

The stall serves up a big variety of Cendol to satisfy the complex food palate of the residents there. There's Cendol pulut (with glutinous rice), Cendol Cincau (with black glass jelly) etc. The basic Cendol costs RM 1.50 which is quite reasonable for today's standards.  Many patrons also come to get his Rojak Mamak but I can't really praise it too much as it taste just like any Rojak Mamak you can get in the Klang Valley.

Reconnecting SYABAS Water Supply, a trip to Kuala Kubu Bharu

Had to reconnect water supply on one of the properties being managed at Bukit Beruntung. Tenant did not promptly pay the water bills and a letter of disconnection came shortly and water supply was cut off. The letter of disconnection came on the same day just before the water supply was cut of.



For the area of Bukit Sentosa, Bukit Beruntung, the nearest SYABAS (Water utility office) is at Kuala Kubu Bharu or KKB as called by the locals. KKB is around 20kms from Bukit Beruntung town. It's a gateway town to Fraser's Hill. Lots of people flock to this place on weekends for a short outing.

To fix the problem, had to drive all the way to the KKB office, then paid a reconnection fee of RM 70 plus the outstanding arrears. Was told by counter staff water will be reconnected after 4PM. Part of the reconnection fee goes to the company affiliated plumber to connect back the water meter.

The bad part was the place is really out of town and far. The good part was there's ample parking (free some more) around and not many people in the office so service was quite fast.

Address of the KKB SYABAS office is :
Jalan Bukit Kerajaan, 44000, Kuala Kubu Baru, Selangor

Malaysia

Their hotline is 1800-88-5252. This line is crazy hard to get through so I suggest just go directly to the office if possible to get everything sorted out. I'm not sure if these kind of stuff can be done online or not but it's very inconvenient at the moment.

Bukit Beruntung Top 5 World Class Employers

When people are asked what they think about Bukit Beruntung they usually have a negative impression of that area. However, going on site and researching around shows that the town is not as dead as it is. In fact, it hosts 5 world class employers and it is probably why the population there is still growing.

These employers are considered world class because their products appeal to the masses and are exported outside the country. They also do a lot of hiring, just looking at jobstreet will yield how many jobs vacancies there are. They also have joint ventures with foreign entities so technology is transferred over.

I believe people will always try to stay near they work, Bukit Beruntung is also no exception. As long as there is work, people will not mind staying around Bukit Beruntung.
