Receive this email from a friend. Well, if this is true, then better be extra careful when you buy fried food in kampongs.
This is a TRUE STORY and Saw Loon told me it happened to her place at Kedah, Tunjang I think.
This is a TRUE STORY and Saw Loon told me it happened to her place at Kedah, Tunjang I think.
It happened in PERLIS (Titi Chai Kangar, the pasar malam area where GORENG PISANG are sold in the afternoon).
Mom said, my uncle saw the GORENG PISANG hawker added plastic straw (those use for drinking water) into hot boiling oil (and it melted) before he fried the GORENG PISANG, that is why GORENG PISANG, UBI, etc all are very crispy even for hours.
And, my uncle asked the hawker but he kept quite and when my uncle told my mom about it, then only they realized that this is how fried fritters can still maintain crispy for hours. My mom said that in Thailand they do the same to keep the fried food crispy eg:- ikan bilis, fried onions which if you leave them in the open air for hours still crispy.
Please forward to all your friends ------ DO NOT EAT CRISPY FRIED FOOD from hawkers !! Try to leave it in the open air for hours and see.
Here's another one:-
I was with my family Cameron Highlands. It was 3 pm and we were hanging around at a market area. We saw many hawker stalls, suddenly something attracted my attention at one of the stalls, there was a big wok of boiling oil with a half 5 litres empty oil bottle in it. The plastic bottle melted slowly in the hot oil. At first I thought it was an unintentional act by a 7 years old girl but when I looked closely, I saw she was holding a pair of chopsticks and stirring the bottle, it appears the act was intentional, oh my God ------ these people are using meltedplastic to fry food, so that the tit bits will not go soft when it cooled due to plastic.
