1. The Difference Between Cendol and Dawet

When it comes to cendol, some say that cendol is derived from the traditional Javanese drink called dawet. Cendol and dawet themselves are beverages with similar presentation, but there are fundamental differences between the two.

The difference lies in the basic ingredients used. Cendol is usually made from hunkwe flour, while dawet is made from rice flour and sticky rice. As for the sauce used, all regions use the same sauce, which is coconut milk sweetened with palm sugar.

In Java itself, cendol or dawet has long been used in a series of traditional ceremonies. Starting from wedding events where there is a dawet selling ceremony (adol dawet) and ceremonies during the seventh month of pregnancy.
