Epok-Epok!

I do not like curry puffs. I love epok-epok! They are definitely not the same thing. Let me put it plainly — the ones made by the Chinese stalls are a turn-off for me. The spices are wrong, the oil is wrong, and the entire curry puff tastes weird. What I love, is the good old potato and curry done Malay style. I'm also not keen on sardines. Ooof. 

The husband likes both curry puffs and epok-epok. He would even settle for Old Chang Kee's version. Eiooowww. I honestly haven't found a curry puff I like. Unless I make it. And I wouldn't because it's really too much work. I would only eat epok-epok.

That afternoon, M brought over dozens of epok-epok! There were sayur with a tub of sweet chilli, the standard kentang, and sardin. Wow! What a treat! He said that this was done by a macik who's like, a hundred years old (I'm sure he's bluffing). She fries these up at home. OMG I love it! He placed his order, and it's anyone's guess which is the exact date of collection. Hahaha. 

When M brought it over, it was 4pm. We couldn't resist it, we immediately ate three as afternoon snack — one spicy sardine, one vegetable (that's really like a fried popiah) and one potato and curry. Ahhh. I love these flavors. They're the flavors of my childhood, and I appreciate the level of spices in the rempah. We had plenty more. The rest of the epok-epok are now in our fridge! They would last four days. They would be great as a snack.
