Monday - 26th January 2009

On the first day of CNY, we will usually prepare a simple lunch for visitors. Every year, I will definitely make this prawn fritters. It's easy to make and very yummy. This has become my specialty and most people who tasted it before love this prawn fritters very much. It's crispy on the outside and juicy & moist inside. I would like to share this recipe.

Hi Wen,

Happy CNY. I'm a fan of your blog. Every night, I'll pop by to check for new posting. This recipe looks good. I'll give it a try too. Previously, I have tried your sponge cake recipe. It's good! I used to attend Richard Goh's lesson but lost his recipes after moving overseas.

Regards, Hawk

Hi, I tried this receipt the other day and used only 3/4 of the water but the batter is already very runny. Can u advise if it is supposed to be this way. I didnt get a nicely shaped fritters.

Sorry for my late reply. Yes the batter is quite runny. Mine usually can get a rounded shape cos is choking with ingredient. If you want a thicker consistency adjust the flour or water. This recipe is quite flexible. Happy cooking!
