I remembered my disappointment when it comes to buying sardine epok-epok. They have more onions and air than sardines. So that's kind of putting me off and I will avoid buying epok-epok unless it was recommended.
My wife bought from this stall about 2 months ago. She bought sardines and normal epok-epok. It was delicious, I tell you.
A month later, I went back to the same place to buy from this stall. This stall is named Yang's Epok-Epok, stall no 4, located at Bedok Corner.
Here's a breakdown of my experience..
1. There was a long queue.
2. In front of the stall, I saw one makcik (Malay auntie) diligently flattening a dough on her palm and placing diced curry potato in it. Then she skillfully formed the twirls at the end of that 'raw' epok-epok. This means it's freshly made.
3. Then I saw another lady scooping fried epok-epok from the wok and placed in onto a strainer. This is a good sign... meaning it's freshly cooked.
4. Then I saw an A4-sized poster with a clock on it, indicating when it would be ready. It also indicates that they do NOT take reservations. This means it's a hot seller and if you're unlucky, you will have to wait for the next batch.
Can you guess how much is an epok-epok? It's 50 cents ($0.50) each and customers are buying in 5s and 10s!
I bought 10 potato and 10 sardine epok-epok, brought it home(it was during the Covid-19 Circuit Breaker so no eating out).
Just look at it..
And it was worth it!
It's freshly made!
It's freshly fried!
It's cheap and most importantly,
It's delicious!
Will I return to buy again?
For sure. I do wish they could take orders though..
