An amiable uncle has been churning out this deep-fried goodness for decades, where consistency has been the key. He is never skimp on the number of fresh prawns and beans sprouts makes it so plump. Coupled with fried bean curds, a bowl of special sauce which is sprinkled with crumbled nuts and slices of cucumbers, it’s worth ordering a second platter even before you finish.

    Located on the outskirts of Padang Brown, this long stretched hawker center offers a parade of mouthwatering local delights, which includes this humble stall. What make them so highly-rated is their fresh prawns which are absolutely big and juicy! Moreover, it’s not like you get one per morsel, it’s topped with a handful; the ratio of prawns to the fat fritter is equal. Stack up your cucur with fried lobak, fried tauhus and sausages, it’s a realm of savoury bites, paired with toothsome sauce.
