It has been a while since I last went to a pasar malam (night market) where duly licensed makeshift stallholder ply their wares.
The usual gamut of stuffs would include clothing, potted plants, knick-knacks, household or bathroom utensils, mobile phone accessories, food and even more food such as pisang goreng (banana fritters), sweet potato fritters, Ramly Burgers, candy floss, kebabs, sweet corn, a variety of cold drinks and so forth.
Recently, while passing by a pasar malam the sight of a twist potato (also known as tornado potato) caught my attention. Just when you thought that one has seen all there is to what can be done with the humble potato, somebody came up with this new twist, literally.
After the potato is twist-cut, it is dipped into a batter before being loaded into a fryer and fried till crispy. For the novelty of it all, at least for now, that stick of twist potato can be yours for SGD 2.50.
If you are interested, please catch the following YouTube clip showing a manual potato twist-cut done in a jiffy:-
That tornado potato machine looks awesome. I am definitely going to get one. Thanks !!
