Money Bags

I first had this food in a Thai restaurant back in Kuala Lumpur.  It is normally served as an entree, which means it comes in a small plate of 4 pieces.  Which also means, you can just have one per person.  Sigh!  So good but too small a portion for my appetite.  It was so delicious and crunchy I just had to cook it at home - so that I can get enough of it to eat.

It is actually deep fried wontons.  I normally do not like wontons, something about the slimy feel as it goes down the throat kinda puts me off eating too much.   But this !  This is deep fried and crunchy.  Yummy!
