OMG this bring back memories of when I was a child back in 70s and the Dong Dong man would bang his metal tools to tell eveyone he’s selling his sweets. I and my siblings would run from our 10th floor flats to buy our portion of these traditional sweet and I had thought that none of these traditional sweet sellers still exist! Brought a tear to my eyes and long old memories of a time gone by! I’ll definatly be looking out for him the next time Im in Ipoh!

It’s a shame this type of street food is fast disappearing. And those Hongkie/Kopitiam style restaurants are mushrooming like crazy.. sigh

I guess your best bet to find these food should be in pasar malam and Petaling Street

Hi there.

I remember seeing this once in a blue moon at chow yang pasar malam or even the subang SS13 pasar malam (Sunday) but the uncle is not consistent. He’ll come one week and not come the following, etc..

Try your luck.

Long long time ago, i remembered there was an uncle selling this in Petaling Street. I wonder if he is still there. BUt the last time i had this was in Melaka..Jonker Street if not mistaken. Sad hor? Sooner or later, this trade will extinct.

there’s one in front of the Popular bookstore at Petaling St., not sure if it’s still there though. I remember the uncle used to had his tool, mini hammer and screw driver lookalike to “dong dong” the candy.
