Gather @ice cube{400%g}.

Whisk the @rice flour{100%g}, @tapioca flour{25%g}, @pandan extract{1%tsp} and 400ml water together until smooth, with no lumps.

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it turns into a thick, glossy, translucent paste. ~{8%minutes}

While still hot, press the paste through a large-holed colander into a bowl of iced water — the falling drops set instantly into short green ribbons.

Meanwhile, melt the @palm sugar{150%g} with a splash of water into a syrup; let it cool slightly. ~{3%minutes}

Drain the set cendol ribbons and rinse briefly in cold water.

Layer the cendol, shaved ice and salted @coconut milk{400%ml} in glasses.

Drown each glass in the palm-sugar syrup and serve immediately, before the ice melts.
