This morning Z gave us a big bag of rempeyek. These deep-fried crackers of rice flour are flavored with cumin seeds, fresh curry leaves, and powdered ikan bilis (dried anchovies), and studded with whole ikan bilis (the silvery bits) and peanuts. They're fragrant, shatteringly crisp, absolutely addictive, and sure to ruin my hopes of shedding the last of my Malaysian east coast eatathon pounds before the end of the week. They're also loved internationally; Z's wife, who makes her rempeyek at home for sale, ships the occasional bag or three to customers in Japan.
