Roadside Snacks
I always have a soft spot for the makcik-makcik who sell kerepek from table to table or at the five-foot way of shops all this time.
Used to buy those kerepek ubi pedas from the makciks who sold them in front of Globe Silk Store.
And I always waited for them when I had dinner at Pelita in Bangsar.
Rarely see them nowadays but if and when I do, I'd beckon for them excitedly and buy some.
Not really because they are outstanding or anything. I don't bother buying any at booths or stalls selling the same snacks.
Just because, like I said; I have a soft spot for them. That's all.
I also used to buy from the keropok uncle who came to my office to sell keropoks.
ReplyDeleteHowever, those by the road stalls dunno they are nice or not. I prefer to buy from the known ones which are really good, like a stall in a pasar pagi near my home.
It's actually not about the taste for me.
DeleteI just want to buy stuff from the makciks.
I just feel that it's not easy to get to their age and peddling stuff to earn a living.
same same here.. but not all the same, muahahaha!!
ReplyDeletei guess i have a soft-spot for the kerepek and keropok, not the makciks who sell~~
hihihi ^^
Keropok wise... I have a soft spot for Pringles too, although I know it's not good. Hi hi Hi

kerepek ubi pedas.. yes!!
ReplyDeleteand also keropok ikan (those that comes in slim strips not the big pieces)..
yum yum!!!
Oh yes! Yum yum.
DeleteI loves keropok, once start eating, can't stop, hehe... That's why nowaday i control myself from buying keropok...
ReplyDeleteGood. Hihihi
DeleteHmm, I never noticed makciks peddling like this, usually it is makcik at a stall selling pisang goreng or keropok lekor. I would buy some from them too because I have a soft spot for their hardworks.
ReplyDeleteHard to find them.
DeleteBut when I do, I'll make sure I buy something.
Eh, me too! Sometimes I feel sorry for them because they have to carry so many things and walk so far. My favourite is kerepek pisang. I can eat bags and bags of those hah..hah...
ReplyDeleteand respect too.
DeleteThey are working hard to earn an honest living.
Not sure about other place but around kota damansara near the Vichudda Restaurant , still frequently can come across makcik and pakcik come selling kerepek
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose they go everywhere.
DeleteOnly certain places.
Tiring lah to carry all those kerepek!
I like the fish and prawn kerepek :)
ReplyDeleteNowadays I buy made in Batam kerepek. :)
Anything special about it?
DeleteShare! Share! Hihi
Where's the durian? :D
