For the One Who Likes to Eat Fried Food

There is an experience from my friend, when he bought “Pecel Lele” (Catfish Pecel) on South Jakarta.
The seller did not pour the cooking oil to the frying pan. But the seller put the cooking oil which still has plastic inside the frying pan. Until the plastic melt and dissolved into the hot oil, then the seller fry the catfish pecel and the result is so crispy! So hideous.

To all the readers,
It is true story, and someone told my friend about this too, it happened in Kedah Tunjang.
I assume it all happen to us too.
In PERLIS (night area market, where they sell “Pisang Goreng” (Fried Banana) on the afternoon), My friend’s uncle saw the fry fried banana, they add plastic straw inside the oil (straw=we use that do drink). The straw is melted on the hot oil before start frying, that is why the fried banana, fried parsnip, etc always stay crispy for few hours. My friend’s uncle cannot explain why. Then he asked the seller, but they still kept quiet, then my friend’s uncle told my friend’s mom, then they practiced it and this is how to make the food stay crispy. Then my friend’s mom said, be careful with fish bleary, onion fried, even though we put it on an open air for couple of hours, the food stays crispy (not soggy).

As in country abroad, in some place raining for 5 times or less in a year, so if we put the bread outside an open air for 1 night, the next day the bread become so crispy or dry because of the environment which is so dry, but in some other country it will not happen because the moisture is too high.

My friend ever went to plateau Cameroon with his family, about 3pm they walked around market, they saw many hawker stall doing business, but suddenly something interesting appears…in one of the hawker stall, there is a big pan with cooking oil and inside there is an empty plastic bottle (size 5 1/2 liters), suddenly the bottle melted on the hot cooking oil and he was surprised to see this. He thought it was a mistake by little child, but when they wanted to go closer, the say some plastic straw inside that plastic bottle, then my friend asked his family to go and check, at that time the child’s parents come, and stare at them fiercely,…they used plastic liquid to fry food, the reason is so that the food is not soggy.

They practiced like this, the cooking oil without plastic, the food is soggy after few hours. Then add plastic, start frying again…the food becomes crispy, more crispy than fast food.

Please stop eating this hawker's fried food...This is their secret receipe...
DO NOT EAT CRISPY FOOD especially from the hawker !.. Try leave it in the open air for hours and see.
