Located at a corner within Ga-Hock Eating House is a stall named 乡村小吃 (no anglicised name). In the morning, the stall specializes in fried fritters and mee siam but come evening, it transforms into a satay and otah stall named Carol Satay & Otah.
I happened to walk past the stall one morning when I was there to check out the roti prata and I saw these beautiful darlings on display behind the glass window.
The temptation is too strong to resist therefore I ordered a silverfish fritter and a prawn fritter to try. Oyster fritter, minced meat fritter and vegetable fritter are also available.
The fritters are crisp around the edges but fluffy towards the centre where it is thicker. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the fryer, otherwise, it can get quite jelak once it cooled down and the oil seep through.
At $2 each, the fritters are value for money. See the number of prawns and silverfish on the fritters?
Be careful with the prawn fritter though as the pointy ends of the prawn head pricked the insides of my mouth a couple of times.
My favorite is the silverfish fritter. The tiny fishes are like little flavor bombs that release bursts of savoriness as you bite upon each one.
If I have a bone to pick with, it would be the slight bitter aftertaste from the burnt bean sprouts.
