Price per Person - $1.20 each Rating - 4.5 / 5 Century Square Feature Series - 1 You simply can’t miss it ! The Original Vadai outlet @ Century Square is brightly lit up with a Broadway billboard just outside the mall. It's also the one with the super long queue in between Tip Top and Assam Laksa outlets. And YES, people (including yours truly) are willing to queue under the hot sun just to get hold of the freshly deep-fried snack. In case you are not aware, Vadai is a deep-fried South Indian snack that is sort of like a savoury doughnut. The Original Vadai is famous for their Prawn Vadai @ $1.20 each. There is a shell-on prawn that is pressed right into the light and airy fritter. You typically eat the shell-on prawn whole as it adds on another crunchy texture to the vadai. I also tried the Ikan Bilis Vadai also @ $1.20 each which is saltier but easier to eat. Between the two, I prefer the Prawn Vadai still. BTW, the vadais are uniquely enjoyed with fresh spicy green chillies which are automatically supplied with each order. They have other variants like : Veg, Chilli, Onion Vadais at $1.20 each and also premium ones like Cheese and Chocolate which goes for $5.00 a piece. They also have non vadai offerings like the Crispy Giant Squid @ $9.00 each but people are usually there for the Prawn Vadai. After the first try, the vadais were so good that I went back to queue twice and I even returned the next day after gym just to buy and snack on them lol.
