Coq Bantal / Pillow Fritters

This is my 2nd attempt on Kedah dish for this month theme for Malaysian Food Festival :D As you can see from the picture that the Coq Bantal or known as pillow fritters, simply fried bread, are in all sorts of shapes >.< Nevermind of the appearance, this fried bread is a hit for my kids. 'very nice and crispy' commented by my son :D 10 little pillow fritters are gone in a short while :D 

I loves this sambal sardines! This reminds me of Old Chang Kee sardine curry puff which I adore :D hmmm if one day I try making some curry puffs I will use this recipe as the fillings :D
