There's nothing more perfect than enjoying an icy bowl of cendol on a hot afternoon while sitting on a plastic stool next to an old-school cendol bicycle cart.

In Malaysia, there's a ton of different varieties to the sticky, sweet cold bowl of heaven - the basic cendol with red beans, sweet corn cendol, pulut cendol, and if you feel like splurging a little, durian cendol. There are so many varieties and so many places in Malaysia (shoutout to Melakans and Penangites) that have the best bowls of cendol. No doubt.
Or so we thought. Cause apparently, some people are still confused. Particularly this CNN writer, who featured cendol on their list of "50 of the World's Best Desserts"; and named Singapore's "take on the classic treat [with red beans]" as number nine.
OBVIOUSLY, Malaysians nationwide were not having it. Here are some tweets depicting how Malaysians are feeling about the best cendol said to be from Singapore.
This person was just plain angry.
This person questioned the article's facts.
This smart Malaysian tapau-ed both cendol and Singapore as Malaysian.
And this Malaysian who is up for a protest.
This guy wants to call on his Indonesian brothers for back up
While this guy thinks that we both have our own versions of the dish
This person wants CNN to do their cendol research
And this person wants to know where Singaporeans get their gula melaka
This guy made a poll.
This guys has a totally different view on cendol's origin.
And lastly, this person who said what we're all thinking right now…
