On our way too Sabah last month, we stopped by one of the petrol station in Limbang, Sarawak. While waiting for the petrol tank to filled up, I went inside the convenient store to buy some bottled drinks and snacks. And I noticed the small handy packets of durian flavoured ball like snacks on the rack !! Gosh, I haven't have this for ages. I think the last time I have the snack was during my primary school time. Surprisingly, it is still sold at the same price, 20 cents per packet. Reminiscing the past and the junk food that we used to consume during our childhood days, I can't resist but to buy few packets :)

sengkor,
mmmm... it's sort of in between the fake durian and soso kind of durian.. hahhaa...
may,
last time hoh, during our childhood time, we didn't have much selection. So we sapu almost every bit of junk food, and everything tasted so heavenly, including the kandos kiddies choc. The exception is ding dang & Tora choc balls. That one is yucky :P But that was during my bro's time. My time no ding dang nor tora yet :)
cynthia,
Hehhehe.. during those days, i dunno the existence of popcorn :P
Nope... not popcorn.
This one is just like the other keropok.
Remember Chickadees? :P
angel,

Might be during those days, u didn't like durian? LOL
I hope I will remember to buy durian tau sar pneah for u if I go to KL :P
misti,
Misti ate this too in the past? :)
Singapore also ada junk food macam ni? :P

Used to like? hehhehe..
our taste buds change with time ;)
U remember the Mimi snacks?
With a cat (looks like the ciplak Garfield but it's not Garfield) playing guitar in front of the orange-coloured packet sold at 10 cents per packet. That one was once my favourite too. It is still available in the market :)
errrmm...
durian durian..i love to eat durians but when it comes into a form of kuih or keropoks..
face turns green..jumps back to soil
shouting "they just ain't the same!"
hmmmm i wan real durian.
chen chen chen, u eat all??? how many packets u buy??? 'x'
I had this before. It is nice. But I don't know where to get it.
goober,
The original durian is still the best.
I tried the vacuum freezed crispy dried durian during my visit to Hatyai but it just doesn't taste as great as the "real" one. Of course if the real one is not available, then the substitute can do also lah..
red sponge,
i want real durian too..
but none cos now is not durian season..
redsponge redsponge redsponge,
habis makan liao..
i bought few small packets of different flavoured snacks (campur-campur mah..) - durian flavour, chicken flavour, sotong flavour etc.. forget oledi what are the others :P
day dreamer,
Bought from one of the grocery shops? The old fashioned grocery shops I presume? Or from the roti man moving around on motorbike? :P
I've never had before. Why so jakun ah?
Anyway, looks like tau-fu-pok.
I am driving up to Penang after my exams and we go makan makan :D

the 'now version' of that long long keropok is the 'lobster keropok' in long big plastic bags. those that they hang together by the string!!!!! hahahhahahahaha. i am so gonna stop attempting now!!
this must be a result of all the brain juice used in the day!!! left nothing at night chor.
Didn't you realise that those 20cts packs were from those days?!!!
*DAMMIT! *kicks Chen's broken RSS...*
*calms LB down... with a piece of lobster keropok*

misti,
Cheh… cakaplah early it’s like the lobster keropok lah..
Kakaka… safe all the trouble guessing & explaining then :P
last time when I small time, I never see such long long big big keropok mah..
The keropok I have are those not long long, not big big sort of keropok :P
Wat a complicated way to mention the normal sized keropok hoh?
What to do? Learn those confusing description from u :P
Hahhaha…
I mean we fried our own keropok or crackers..
So what I ate in the past was those “normal” keropok

Haha.. oh yeah.. I still remember those.. when the uncle riding bicycle and sell those snacks at school~
Oh... liu lian!!! I love liu lian so much. How come got ball somemore? Can kick 1 ah? :P
Perhaps 70's!! Did you zoom properly? Did you see Sell By January 1977?
hahaha. i think i do that more often with you. perhaps its because i think you got big brain, so even if i sound ultra confusing, you will surely git it. :D
Aiyoooo....i wan the sotong flavour
velverse,
previously there is no uncle selling snacks in my place (staying in small town). I bought those snacks from the grocery shops nearby my house (within walking distance) :)
kenny,
luckily it's just ball, and not limbs :P
The ball not only can be eaten but can be played with, can be bitten, can be licked, can be swallowed, can be kicked and can be dumped inside rubbish bin too !!! LOL
Multipurpose ball :P
