Ais kacang also known as ABC (acronym for air batu campur meaning “mixed ice”), is a Malaysian dessert which is common among the locals. Traditionally, an ice shaving machine is used to churn out the shaved ice used in the dessert, originally hand cranked but now more often motorised.
This dessert is considered one of Malaysia’s most unique food and even featured in National Geographic’s Eight Ice Cream Styles From Around The World.
Ais kacang was originally made of only shaved ice and red beans though the number and diversity of ingredients has since expanded creatively. Today, ais kacang generally comes in bright colours and with various fruit cocktails and dressings. Check out some of the best in Kuala Lumpur.
