So fried...

Who knew that deep fried vegetables would equal dessert. But interestingly enough it does. This was the second time I was treated to 'dessert' and it is delicious. However, let's be honest I am a fan of french fries, anything crispy like potato chips so it is only fair to say that I would like Kueh Campur. The sweet potato, yam, shrimp cake and tofu all deep fried then dipped in a chili or sweet sauce with peanuts is definitely a dessert.

I was also treated to the "Spe-Cial". Yes. That's what it's called the "Spe-Cial".

And in the Special it is a combination of shaved ice, grenadine, sweetened or condensed milk, jelly and corn. On a hot day, which most of the days around here are hot, the Special does the trick. It sounds like an interesting combination to probably most North Amercians but it is a must try here in Malaysia. It is generally referred to as Ais Campur. "Ais" is a Malay spelling of the English word "Ice". "Campur" means "mix". There are many combinations of Ais Campur including the "Spe-Cial".
