Kacang Putih

I remember in the older days whenever we go to the cinema, there is always the kacang putih man lurking somewhere nearby selling his roasted peanuts on a bicycle. He is usually an Indian man wearing a turban. There are a few common peanuts (or kacang) we have in those days, and different types of nuts are placed in big tins or containers. We will choose the type we want, and the kacang putih man will wrap the nuts in a conical shape paper (usually they are recycled from newspapers or used magazines).

My favourite kacang is the sugar coated nuts that turned out white which are not too sweet but fragrant. We used to buy a few types in different cones before we enter the cinema to munch. Those days, there were no combo popcorn or hot dog or potato chips. We only have nuts. Whenever we eat these few types of peanuts, we would recall those days of the kacang putih man peddling his kacang with nostalgia and sweet memories. Somehow, the nuts then tasted nicer....
