Fried Sweet Potato Dumplings: I think of it as fried Ondeh Ondeh
If you take an Ondeh Ondeh and put it into a vat of hot oil, you would probably get something similar to this particular dessert. Of course, instead of gula melaka, the inside is filled with peanuts or coconut.
My first impression of it was how incredibly oily it is. Pick it up with a piece of brown paper and you the whole thing turns translucent. It's a bit too oily even for this particular foodie. It's no wonder that such desserts are hard to come by nowadays. With the increased emphasis on healthier diets, such delicacies are facing an inevitable demise.
But if you are young and still enjoy free flowing coronaries, you can certainly sink your teeth into
one of these sinful desserts. The flavour I like best was the pandan coconut. The sweet and flowery fragrance really surprises you as you bite into its chewy shell. 3.75/4Conclusion
Try it before it disappears!

I just tried the sweet potato dumpling, without any fillings. It's really yummy, very chewy. Think they are better than those with peanuts or coconut. Went yesterday again but realised it's closed on tues. So sad...
This stall is my personal favourite .... but their rest days are not fixed ... they have one with the vegetabke filling and oohh... tastes fantastic..
Is the stall still around? went there last month but didnt locate it
