Two Kilos, Four Hours, Three Canisters


Arrghhh...so tired...so tired....wahahaha! I never learn. Itchy fingers. Suddenly semangat berkobar-kobar sempena Chinese New Year.

I went grocery shopping. Saw ngaku. Surprisingly the ngaku section was so small, unlike in previous years. Even more surprising, there were no aunties (or the occasional uncles) fighting over the ngaku. Why ah?


So buy lah. Choose, choose, choose, ended up 2kg. My whole Sunday afternoon koyak hah..hah..hah...

Wash, peel, slice, fry, fry, fry.


I am a slow worker.


2kg also wanna die. Small Kucing's mum fried 10kg no sweat.


In the end, I finished my job and ended up with three canisters of crispy fried ngaku chips. Until next year....

  3. 2 kilos, 4 hours, 3 cannisters, 30 mins finished eating all 3 cannisters, hehehe! :D yummy! Are you aiming to eat them slowly? 3 keropok ngaku at a time to make the 3 cannisters last longer?

    I just helped to sliced, the frying was done by mum. And yet we didn't fry much, just 1 kg. And that was last Saturday. Not planning to fry anymore since it is tedious.

  5. Well, you did it! This year, I cut down the amount to almost half. I think I only fried about 6 kilos and next year I am going to reduce further. Ha ha ha getting lazier.
