Dipped in black coffee and made possible with Kristina Cho’s recipe in “Mooncakes & Milk Bread” and with my trusty instant read thermometer. Still in disbelief I pulled these off!

golden fritters of prawns and vegetables, battered and fried till crisp served with tofu and peanut sauce

Addictive, as with any well-fried fritter.

Not as sweet (better!) as the ones at VietSmith and at a fraction of the price.

Tasty start to dinner.

Discovered a new comfort food in trying to rid the pantry of unwanted Tucher Kellerbier & 3-year aged Cheddar. Fried these summer squash fritters to golden perfection: hot and crispy outsides with fluffy, yummy insides. 😋 De-papering 20 cloves of garlic took a while, but the amazing aroma of the garlic oil I was trying to extract from them for the dipping sauce was worth it I guess? #summersquashfritters #zucchini #yellowsquash #agedcheddar #wilmotfarms #wisconsincheese #garlicgarlicgarlic #coldbeer #tucherkellerbier #beerbatter #deepfried #summersquash #kewpiemayo 🍋 #chives #davidvenable #vegetarian #sootycooks👩🏻‍🍳

Didn't taste any otak-otak in this. The sweet chili dip was good though.

Sweet and savory old-school fritters to fulfill a boomer’s deep-fried breakfast fantasies…

Yam and banana fritters

The yam filling was way too sweet for everyone’s liking.

Potato cutlets

These made consuming the BKT easier.

To accompany the sambal (2nd pic).

Don’t take my word for it. If you’re a salted egg yolk fanatic, you’ll prolly like this.
