I believe it is one of the top junkfood for many people during their childhood… especially school time !!

It used to be my 2nd favourite junkfood during the History cless, coz it’s chewy so can chew for a little longer than other crispy junkfood like mamee!! Too bad, coz nowaday satay fish is not as tasty as last time !!!!!!!!!

But the smell of satay fish is strong, so easily draw teacher attention. So, the top junk food during childhood is “Mimi”, the tiny prawn flavor strip!! …. coz it’s not only tasty, n it’s also easy to hide from teacher, less sound (noice) when open n also in the bite !! wahahaha~~

Actually, I think the texture is more chewy than crisp. And it has this fabulous sauce on it with sesame seeds.

You’d think jellyfish would shrivel to nothing, but no.

Now I am craving it and I haven’t seen any here in California. Got to write home.

Great photo rasamalaysia!
