Cucur Badak

I made this because my father likes it. I have never tasted this before. I found a few recipe and I just followed and altered some of the ingredients according to my father's liking. Result is that my father say it taste like how it should except that the filling is too saltish. But he still finished up all 7 pieces that I fried for him.

As for me, I tasted it. I don't really like it. I don't like serunding, so I guess that's why. Hehe.

I shall bring over to my uncle's house for his review of this kueh that I have never tasted before. Hehe.
