I kid you not! While Jhon was helping to fry them, a few cracked and exploded, not in a way that its into small pieces but it definitely burst, enough to splatter hot oil on us.
Quick Info
Keropok Lekor is a famously known Malaysian snack that I absolutely love and mom bought a couple packets of frozen Keropok Lekor at Sheng Siong,Singapore.
I don't know exactly why it burst that way, maybe because it was still semi frozen inside what I know was it an enough pop to spurt hot oil on the both of us.
Jhon was hit mainly on his feet that resulted in mild redness. As for me, I was hit on my right thigh, left forearm and face! I freaked out when I felt heat on my face so I ran to the toilet to wash off the oil, fearing I might have a scar and vaguely wipe off the oil on other areas.
After calming down from , I still felt searing pain on my forearm and I realized that it was worst than I thought.
I quickly applied some medicine for burnt wounds and hope for the best.
I have wonderful splash design on my forearm now.
It was okay for 2 days but since I didn't apply cream on the 2nd day, the wound start to bubble. =(
I was anal retentive on how I place my arm and always freak out when Jhon almost hit it, fearing I might pop the bubble because I know it will hurt more than ever.
It has been 6 days since it happened, the bubble has subsided on its own (without popping!) but still have the splattered scar which is starting to itch.
I am taking good care of it to avoid a scar but if you ask me if it was worth it..
YES! 'Keropok Lekor' is da bomb!! ^_^

whoaa....freaky...was the keropok wet or cold?
ReplyDeletewell my grandma taught me to hold the pan lid over the frying part so if it explodes, it wont hit you...
thanks for dropping by me blog~
@Justin the keropok was a little damn because it was thawed but i think it was not fully thawed.
ReplyDeleteHold the pan lid? Not professional at all. hehe Must train to be a good cook and good cooks don't do that hehe
Looks yummy :) I haven't heard of this food here in Singapore and I don't think I've seen one.. :) I'll try to look and try it.
