Keropok Bayam

This is something that caught my attention - the Keropok Bayam or Spinach Crackers.

I bought one packet of Keropok Bayam (RM 3 per packet) from one of the roadside stalls in Kundasang, Sabah. The stalls are located not far away from the Kundasang War Memorial.

Now I regret. I should have bought more cos ... delicious :P

Wah!! Nice.....I like keropok bayam too. Kim Hock Lin Coffee House @Hui Sing sells very nice keropok bayam but it cost more than RM3 oh...

Healthy food some more (errrrr....vege mah, ignore the frying part)

*Munching Keropok double decker as substitute*

Chen said...

another keropok that I like is the keropok Amplang - the Sabahan version of the Tenggiri fish crackers :)

angel,
mistiliu gets too excited liao I presume? ;)

wah.. so many kaurs :P
LOLOL at the "LaosaiBackside"

*slurp*

papercrazy,

Must look out for that next time i balik kampung :)

healty food (vege) + unhealthy food (cos fried version) = balanced food.
hahaha.. what an equation :P

Too bad I didn't buy extra, or else I can bring some back home to Penang.

LB,
Kekeeke, I wanted and tempted to do so...
but I sked to include that together with the postcard cos there's a possibility that Mr Ant & Ms Ant might end up munching the postcard :P

Chen said...

Ah boy enjoying himself to the maximum leh.. He is now staying together with my father in law & sister in law. I guess he dowan to follow me back home tonight :P

Chen said...

pink cotton,
I dunno mah..
i'm not Kuching lang
what else Kuching has which is not available in Peninsular?
Next time I balik I must go & sapu all liao....

day dreamer,
I guess most of us haven't tried this snack except those from Kuching or Sabah or those who visited those places before in the past :)

It's crunchy, just like any other crackers. It is interesting to see the structure and the colour of the leave is being preserved when they deep fried it in the oil.

Might be I can tried it out one of these days.. Buy some spinach from the market. Make my own batter and fried it.. see how's the outcome ;D

Babe_KL said...

wahhhh can courier some to me!

Cocka Doodle said...

Kundasang! I love the tranquility of this place. Once stayed there a month working on a project between Ranau, Carabau and Kundasang.
Never got to climb Mt Kinabalu though.

I always grab 1 pkt whenever I dined there and munch munch the keropok while waiting for my dish to be served....

*munch keropok kangkung*

Chen said...

mistipurple,
Thanks MistiP
I have a good night sleep yesterday..

I'm still on leave today ;)
Will go out in a short while..

SA,
I think it's fried spinach crackers :) Something that I have never tried in the past..

indaiyoyo,
Wow.. that's great :)
Yeah, I like the keropok.
Yummy & delicious..

Chen said...

fred,
sorry sorry ...
When I passed by UMS, I think of u but too bad I don't have your number..

The haze is not that bad in Sabah and during my visit there, it rained most of the time. Luckily it didn't rain when I visited the Kinabalu Park in the afternoon (but it rained later on in the evening).

papercrazy,
okie.. I'll put that in my "what to buy" list when I balik kampung :)

LOL at the keropok kangkung :P
Might be ... u can start producing keropok bilin.. Bilin is my all time favourite. Too bad I can only savour it when I balik kampung since it's not available here :(

Think of it I also lau nuah.
*slurp*

If the food is cute, it's still "edible" but if they are too cute, then susah loh.. just as few weeks ago, I bought two cute piglets "mooncake" which were too cute to be eaten :P
