When life gets you down, have some keropok :)

I love my crisps. Slice anything up thinly, bake it or fry it, make it crispy and crunchy and I will love it. Oh, especially local crisps - those keropoks! Fellow CBD-ians should be quite acquainted with this little corner of keropok heaven, located across Amoy Hawker Centre and right next to Gayatri (the popular Indian makan place). The stall has no name, but you can't miss it. Displayed invitingly are baskets full of local crisps of all kinds - sweet, savoury, spicy, non-spicy. Just be sure to not buy EVERYTHING you see, just as how I have to put some brakes on myself everytime I visit.

The keropoks are normally quite fresh, some are delivered just as they are done. 


Like WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. The auntie has almost everything you can think of, potato chips (in multitude of flavours), tapioca chips, fish crackers, prawn crackers, muruku... 
Homemade ones like the banana and sweet potato crisps are slightly pricier - $4.50 for a small pack of, eh wait, the weight's been "censored off". Basically a small pack lah, can finish in a few minutes kind (if you binge like a glutton, like me, haha)


Local junk food. Sedap.


Light, crispy, sweet and not too oily. Sweet Potato Chips @ $4.50


Fish and Sotong Crackers @ $2.50
Have bought this on numerous occasions - always fresh and crisp, no "kept-too-long-in-plastic-taste", and most importantly, not too greasy.



This is absolutely addictive. Crispy Banana @ $4.50.
The best I have had so far, they don't deep fry the chips and coat them mercilessly in sugar syrup like how they traditionally do, but instead, the banana chips are baked and given a light coat of honey. For the healthy conscious, rejoice, 'em chips are not greasy at all and does not leave you with a jelak aftertaste in the mouth.
