History of Kacang Putih

Any 60s or 70s child would remember the kacang putih uncle plying his trade either from the neighbourhood or outside the school compound. A teenager from those eras would reminisce good times at the cinema when the kacang putih was scooped on to rolled up newspapers, magazines and even phone directories for 10 cents each.

Once a taste for kacang putih is acquired, memories of its stay with us for life. However, not all kacang putih tastes alike, as any connoisseur will agree.”
