Hand cranked ice shaving machine

Machines like this are now rarely seen at the iced chendol vendors (who are usually locals of south Indian ethnicity) as most of these vendors have since upgraded to the modern, electric powered type.

 

There are still chendol street vendors who manually shave blocks of ice by hand with the traditional wooden block with sharpened metal studs but such a practice is considered unsanitary.
