Hor Snua Cni Peanut Fritter

Hor3snua1 Cni33 (14 June 2014)


Hor Snua Cni is a deep-fried peanut fritter that is often sold at the markets in Penang. The name hor3snua1 cni33 means "umbrella fritter" in Penang Hokkien, because it looks like an open umbrella.

Hor3snua1 cni33 is not often made at home, as one needs the proper utensils, in particular the mould. The ingredients are wheat flour, rice flour and tapioca, with of course some peanuts. The ladle-like mould is filled with the batter and topped with a handful of peanuts, and then submerged into a wok of boiling oil. Once the batter begins to fly, it should come off from the mould in one piece.

Using one's one judgement, leave the fritter to darkened on one side before turning it over. Once the fritter has darked nicely on both sides, take it out of the oil and leave it to dry on a drip tray, colander or disposable kitchen towel.

Hor3snua1 cni33 is best eaten when freshly made, as that's when it is hot and crispy.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
