keropok man

Of the many foods Bangka is known for, the keropok, or shrimp crackers, might have travelled most widely over Indonesia and further. They come in all shapes, sizes and delicious flavours; freshly made keropok can often be seen outside homes drying in the midday sun prior to frying. You don’t have to fry it yourself though as this gentleman above can bring it to your door on his handy keropok mobile. Why, he’s got enough to stock almost two whole Bangka families for a day!
