We are an unashamedly food-obsessed nation where snacking is every bit as important as each square meal we have. Be it cakes, desserts, or a range of yummy finger food, there is always a tempting snack (from a
street stall,
café, and even the
back of a car boot) to suit every occasion. But then again, we don’t need an occasion to stuff our faces now, do we?
Here are eight of our favourite snacks that never fail to hit the spot every time, anytime. These Malaysian snack recipes are children-friendly and take very little time and effort to whip up!
Cucur Udang
Savoury, crispy, golden brown prawn fritters dipped in sweet chili sauce – eat them while hot and crunchy!
Pakora
An irresistible traditional Indian finger food, these easy vegetable pakoras are a cinch to make by the bucket loads.
Pisang goreng
Some serve these banana fritters with a side of ice cream, others dip them in honey - just don’t forget your teh tarik.
Apam Balik
These crispy pancakes are a staple at every pasar malam. Feel free to use any filling you fancy, if you’re not a corny person!
Vadai
A deliciously light teatime snack is what you get with vadais. Make this popular South Indian snack today.

Curried potatoes and minced beef encased in golden pastry. We’d gobble them down by the tray loads if we could.
