Break the shrimp cracker and dip the light crisps in the old school, gooey pink sauce of sugary sweet. Crisp cuttlefish, browned and stuffed, effuses a sinfully addictive fried fragrance. The orange cake rendition tasting lighter, is a soft, bouncy contrast. Dip a piece in zesty chilli, topped with the crunch of chopped onions and toasted ground peanuts to richen with spicy-sweetness. Pick up a slice of fish patty. Fried batter coats small fish chunks with mushy flour, delectably seasoned. Biting into a piece of ngoh hiang (meat roll), the crisp tofu skin flakes apart as you sink into densely packed juicy spiced and seasoned pork, subtly sweet. Soft fried tofu comes as a pleasantly light-flavoured contrast.

Consider the savoury compliment of fried beehoon (Small $1; Large $1.50) tossed with beansprouts for a heavier meal.

The fresh Teochew selection from Zhong Zhong Fried Spice #02-149 ($0.70-$2/piece) is refried upon order but surprisingly, doesn't leave you greasy. Not the healthiest but an understandable choice for the many having this early breakfast. Weekends demand you to ignite those tastebuds.
