The Celup Tepung Craze – Why This Crispy Classic Steals the Show

A Bite That Defines a Coastline

In Terengganu, celup tepung isn’t just a snack—it’s a lifestyle. Across coastal towns, stalls line the streets offering seafood dipped in batter and fried to perfection. But if you ask anyone where to find the crispiest, juiciest, and most memorable version, chances are they’ll point you straight to Ombak Pantai.

So what makes their celup tepung so special?

It starts with freshness. The squid, prawns, and fish used are caught from nearby waters—sometimes on the same day. Then comes the batter—light, seasoned, and not greasy. Each piece is cooked to order, ensuring maximum crunch. The result? A seafood snack so addictive you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Even better, Ombak Pantai lets you customize your platter. Want 3 prawns, 2 squid, and a side of fried banana balls? They’ll happily serve it. Add a chilled coconut or watermelon shake, and you’ve got yourself a beach feast.
