The “fried things” in question are ngoh hiang or deep fried fritters. Its been quite some time since I’ve had Ngoh Hiang much less a good plate that doesn’t leave me greasy and regretting life but a recent visit to Zhong Zhong Fried Spice at Bukit Timah Market has left me very contented.

Everything was seasoned well so you’re not just tasting oil. I really enjoyed the squid ($10), stuffed and deep fried till golden brown, it went well with their sticky artificially colored pink sweet sauce. Other favourites include the usual selection of fishballs, spring rolls and fried tofu. Do pair it with their simple yet fragrant beehoon ($1 or $1.50) to complete the a very sinful yet enjoyable meal.

Zhong Zhong is fast becoming one of my favourite stalls at bukit timah market, but judging from the snaking (yet fast moving) lines, it seems I’m not the only one that shares that sentiment.
