Does it sound vulgar, and borderline crude? Its a snack, silly! And a mighty tasty snack I would add! One of the must buys if you pass by Bidor’s Pun Chun Restaurant.
I forgot the price but when its nice, it doesn’t matter as much, eh?
A packet contains four shat kek ma squares. They are made of very simple ingredients, actually. Flour, eggs, and molasses made up most of it.

Remember to finish it up as soon as you open up a packet because they taste best while fresh.

Bidor’s Pun Chun Restaurant is the place where my favourite yam puffs are sold. Crispy on the outside, soft and aromatic yam on the inside, the skin holds delicious fillings of charsiews, not unlike charsiew paus. We made a pit stop to have a quick bite here before entering the highway at Bidor.

This restaurant is also famous for its duck thigh noodles, where the noodles are served in herbal soup topped with a whole duck thigh.

My plate of pig trotter noodles. The noodles are as expected, but it seems like they used the hind legs for the braised trotter dish, and resulting in coarser meat texture which I don’t quite fancy.
Overall, the food was alright, but coming from a person who had this every now and then since I lived so near, the food was just not as good as it was. Business was booming for them, so I think they are not too concerned. Be ready to fork out some money for government tax here as well, even if it is a coffeeshop eating place.
