Do you know what kacang puteh is?
In a few years, it may not be surprising if the younger generation gives you a blank stare when you ask them about this well-loved local snack.
After all, kacang puteh is no longer commonly found around the island.
There is, fortunately, one prominent kacang puteh seller in Singapore, and you can find him at Toa Payoh.
For those who used to frequent Peace Centre, you may recognise the seller as he moved over to Toa Payoh Bus Interchange after his stint at Peace Centre ended.
Here is what you need to know about where to find what may possibly be the last kacang puteh vendor in Singapore.
Kacang Puteh Vendor Moves From Peace Centre to Toa Payoh
Calling all those who live in Toa Payoh. You can add kacang puteh to your favourite snack buys when you go to the bus interchange.
Mr Amirthaalangaram Moorthy, who sells the local snacks, has moved his business from relatively ulu Peace Centre to the bustling Toa Payoh Bus Interchange.
He moved to Toa Payoh as his six-month free rental at Peace Centre (granted to him in conjunction with the building’s en bloc) had ended, according to MS News.
For those unaware, kacang puteh is a local snack which consists of a mix of peanuts, cashew nuts, murukku, peas, chickpeas and other crunchy bits.
You can typically choose which items you want, and the snacks are packed into a white cone-shaped packet to munch on easily.
A Facebook user, going by the moniker of Jimmy Lok, posted on the Toa Payoh Makan Places – Your Toa Payoh & Balestier Food Guide Facebook group that Mr Moorthy was selling his snacks at Toa Payoh.
In an image attached to the post, Mr Moorthy can be seen operating his Kacang Puteh kiosk (which is aptly named Kacang Puteh).
A wide variety of containers with red lids can be seen on the table in front of him.
The kiosk also has cute images of kacang puteh, which kids will love. Much better than a plain old cart.
Snacks Are Affordable at No More Than $2 Each
According to the Facebook posts about this stall, the snacks are affordable.
Each pack of cashew nuts costs you $2, while all other snacks cost you only $1.50.
That is excellent news in this climate where rampant inflation has cost the price of most things to soar.
We’re not sure about you, but we’re heading down to Toa Payoh to grab some kacang puteh.
