Kickapoo Joy Juice: I initially bought this guy on a whim. With such a funny name, how could I not try it? However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it tasted delicious- like Sprite but more citrusy, and it quickly became a must-drink. Sold in all restaurants and bodegas (well 7-11s), it’s easy to come by and is surprisingly refreshing.
Coconut Milkshake: While eating lunch on our first day in Penang, I noticed a young man rushing these delicious treats to nearly every table in the food hall. Seeing as they were so popular, I knew I needed to figure out what the buzz was all about. One sip was all it took- creamy, cool, sweet, a winning combination. Ice + fresh coconut + coconut water + 1 scoop of Vanilla ice cream = heaven. You may find me peddling these in Chicago, come summer, as the rest of the US needs to know what they’re missing out on.
Iced Coffee: We were first introduced to SE Asian style iced coffee in Thailand. By adding sweetened condensed milk, it’s much sweeter than the ice coffee I drink at home; often tasting more like coffee milk than coffee. However, a new addition in Penang was the handy wrist strap. We saw countless vendors with their drinks hanging off the sides of their carts, so they could snag a sip between filling orders. Unlike Thailand, where this treat can be found all day long, in Malaysia it seems to be more exclusively a morning drink, and can be trickier to find later in the day.
