The Original Vadai (Golden Mile)

Probably the only vadai by far that makes me fall in love with the snack on first bite! I also finally understood why it is popular among groupbuys. On a Saturday afternoon when we dropped by, they only had the prawn vadai available and with each order, the vadai were fried instantly again. I found the vadai here not as floury as the usual ones that I have tasted. In fact, even with the relatively crispy batter exterior, the interior was fluffy and well marinated with spices. The prawn on top was sizeable, and surprisingly meaty while the green chilies were complimentary. Will be back to try the vadais with other toppings such as ikan bilis and grago!

Prawn vadai @ $1 each

Had it piping hot and it's yummy. But the batter can be better mixed, the last bite was super salty and the taste lingered for very long time after.

The signature prawn vadai - The prawn was surprisingly still juicy and fresh even though it was being deep-fried with the dough.

Flavourful, spice-filled dough topped with a humongous prawn! What’s not to love.

Pumped to find a new vadai store that just opened at Golden Mile Hawker! @theoriginalvadai (B1-32) might be new at Golden Mile, but apparently they have been dishing out killer vadai at pasar malams for quite some time now.

Packed some home and toasted them for five mins to get a warm fluffy inside, and crisp crust on the outside. The prawns aren’t the tiny little ones you normally get too, these were sizable and fleshy. Loved that they give the little green chilli padis for more of a kick as well! Gonna be hard resisting snacking on these every time I pass it by.

Wanted to buy 2 pieces only but ended up getting 5 pieces. Regretted, I should have buy more as this 5 pieces are gone within mins. So shiok to have to while it's warm.
