Hole in the wall…

I guess everybody here would be familiar with this mall (2.292987,111.842358)…

 

…though it appears to be somewhat less popular than most of the rest but with all the shops and even a hotel in the vicinity now, things would have picked up a little. I do drop by sometimes as the area is not as congested as in the town centre and parking is free and there are a number of coffee shops, cafes and restaurants close by too.

There are also these stalls to the left of the building…

 

…that may easily be missed as most people would drive straight in, eyes straight ahead, unaware their presence as they are not all that noticeable being rather inconspicuous and not quite visible from the front…like holes in the wall.

I am not sure but I think the second one is new – if it had been there before, I sure did not realise it and of course, I have never tried anything they’re selling there, some soya bean stuff, if I am not wrong. As for the first one, I have stopped by a few times before and I do enjoy what they sell.

That day, I bought these ham chim peng (80 sen each)…

…for my missus. These are Chinese-style cinnamon rolls, deep-fried. Personally, I am not a fan but my missus enjoys them.

The or koi (yam cake), steamed and deep fried (50 sen each)…

…is pretty good, nicer than those at many other places in town and I love their sweet potato fritters (5 for RM2.00)…

…which I feel are nicer than their tapioca fritters (also 5 for RM2.00)…

…though those are also very nice. For one thing, it sure amazes me how they are able to cut them so very thinly really!

They do sell quite a lot of stuff there – when I was there that day, they had just finished frying a fresh batch of banana fritters, piping hot from the wok but I did not buy any as I am not really a fan of those. Well, if you’re in this part of town and you’re into these fried fritters, you may want to check this place out.
