These chips look so addictive - I could probably eat the whole bag all by myself. Your array of street food continues to maze me Selba.

I love the spicy keropok, usually buy them from night markets. Really delicious, the spicier the better! But would prefer it slightly less oily.

Reminded me of Asian food. :)
