Build The Plate
A satisfying order mixes crisp prawn fritters with softer tofu, potato and egg. Additions vary by stall, so point to what looks fresh and ask for a smaller selection if you are eating alone.
The Gravy Matters
The warm sauce should be nutty, lightly spicy and sweet enough to match the fried pieces without turning cloying. Keep it on the side if you want the fritters to stay crisp longer.
