Cekodok (Cucur) or savoury fritter is one of the Malaysian favourite snack serve for tea time. Almost everyone knows how to make this yummy tea time snacks, because it is easy!
I just bought this old fashion of enamel plates from the pasar (wet market), and immediately i use to serve this savoury fritters. You may replace with prawn if you could'nt find anchovies.

ReplyDeletethanks for sharing, Sonia!
my mum used to cooked this eat together with her self made chili sauce for tea time~~i love it !
ReplyDeletehmmm... ho chiak! i like ur antique plate :)
ReplyDeleteI love cucur ikan bilis, perfect tea time treat.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, I hated those enamel plates, becos it seemed so old and have always prefered ceramic plates over them.
But as I got older, I seem to like them, as they reminded very much about my meals as a kid. I don't think those plates I used to use as a kid still exist at my mom's. She could've thrown out all of them. Keeping some will be nice.
Ooo.... I love cucur ikan bilis too. Waiting for your sweet chili sauce recipe...
ReplyDeleteMy mum just make cucur udang, but has not try to make cucur ikan bilis. I think I'll like both. :)
ReplyDeleteSaya pasti akan buat cekodok petang ni :) nak cuba cara Sonia:)terima kasih Sonia...pinggan ayan tu membuatkan teringat MIL.....
ReplyDeleteI too have noticed lots of dishes with anchovies...We never use anchovies in American cooking, I always look at them in the Asian market...but I have never tried them...I will get brave one day...Your fritters look excellent.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you buy those plates?
ReplyDeleteSonia, these are my hubby's favourite! He loves anything with kampung flavour. He'll be thrilled if I made him these. haha.... Hope you're enjoying your day.
