What goes well with beer and alcohol?
Bar snacks, duh!
So should we go nostalgic by serving Kachang puteh, a famous snack from the 80s, at Cartoons Underground?
Or
Should we serve the classic and well-loved movie going snack, Popcorn ?
Or
How about both?
After the afternoon downpour, Shalini and I made a visit to one of Singapore’s last few Kachang Puteh stalls situated right outside Peace Centre.
Kachang puteh means “white nuts” in Malay but actually comprises of a variety of different nuts and crackers. This includes regular peanuts, sugar-coated peanuts, steamed peanuts, steamed chick peas etc.
A popular snack in the 80s, the local kachang puteh man would stuff the cone shape packaging made of old exercise books or newspaper with your favourite snack.
$1 for a cone of your favourite nuts or crackers seems like a good deal.
This is a dying art form though and the one at peace centre is one of the last few that’s up and running in Singapore.

Anyway, bringing the dog to the Kachang Puteh stand was a good idea as the Kachang Puteh man became more friendly.
After much talk in Tamil and a few barks, he agreed to sell us Kachang Puteh at Cartoons Underground.
So what do you think?
Kachang Puteh or Popcorn or Both?
