Spiral Potato

Looks delicious??? Yes, it's very crispy if eaten immediately after frying. How to make it?? Very simple. A potato was carefully cut into spiral. Make sure you did not break it. Soak it in a salty water. Before frying, dip the potato into a batter of flour mix with water and some chilli flakes. Deep fry it till golden brown. Take it out and leave on the kitchen towel to dry. Ready for consumption. How to make sure that the potato does not cut off totally??? I don't have an answer for that because .... I did not make this. I bought it from a stall in Port Dickson.

Perasan kot ??? No, I am sure they were talking about me because they were

Instant Noodle

This noodle is not branded as Maggi, Ho Liau, Ibumie or any other. It is my self made instant noodle. Why instant???

Fry the sliced shallot and crushed onion until brownish. Add in the sliced chicken and prawns. Fry for a little while. Not too long as it will spoil
