IPOH, Nov 2 — For one private-sector employee, Deepavali celebrations are never complete without coffee snacks from Kampung Kacang Putih in Buntong, which he serves to guests at home, even if it means travelling more than 200 kilometres from Kuala Lumpur to get them. It has become an annual routine.
For P. Ravi, 56, Buntong kacang putih snacks are more than just a Deepavali treat. He said their quality was distinctly different from those sold elsewhere, while their prices were also more affordable.
“I leave Kuala Lumpur at around 7.30am and it takes me more than two hours to get here. It is not a burden because this place has been my family's choice for the past six years.
“We usually come here a week before the festival, and among our favourite items to serve guests are mixed murukku , plain murukku and tapioca chips,” he told Bernama at Kampung Kacang Putih here today.
The Melaka-born man said he usually set aside between RM500 and RM1,000 to buy various types of snacks from several shops in the area.
He said the snacks were not only served during Deepavali but were also given as gifts to relatives, neighbours and colleagues who visited their home.
“It has become a family tradition every time we celebrate the festival, as a way of strengthening ties with colleagues and neighbours,” he said.
Civil servant K. Gaayathri, 30, said the snacks were a must-have during Deepavali celebrations as they were among the favourites of guests visiting her home.
Gaayathri, who hails from Kuala Lumpur, said the wide variety of snacks and flavours made them popular among many people.
“That is why I never forget to get white these snacks here. Deepavali celebrations just do not feel complete without such snacks being served to guests,” she said.
She also hoped that this year's Deepavali celebrations would further strengthen the spirit of harmony and bring the light of goodness and joy to all Hindus in the country.
Meanwhile, DNS Kacang Putih manager S. Sathis Kumar said demand for the snacks at his premises increased by 60 per cent during the Deepavali festive season compared with normal days.
He said demand came not only from Hindu customers but also from people of various ethnic backgrounds across the country.
“Usually, we start making preparations two weeks before Deepavali as we know demand will increase and customers will want to buy the various types of snacks sold here.
“Among the products that are in high demand are spicy mixed murukku , kuih loyang , round murukku , kuih batu , as well as various types of sweets and ladoo,” he said.
Kampung Kacang Putih in Buntong here has been renowned for its wide variety of white kacang putih snacks and other delicacies, particularly in the run-up to Deepavali, for the past 60 years. The business has been passed down through three generations and remains popular among Malaysians of various ethnic backgrounds.
Among the varieties of snacks sold at the business centre are mixed murukku , pakoda , sivel , dal, aulu, poori , Sri Lankan pakoda, omom, kadalai, kacang susu and tapioca chips. — Bernama

怡保，11月2日讯——对于一位私营企业员工来说，如果没有从文冬甘榜卡昌普提（Kampung Kacang Putih）购买咖啡点心，屠妖节的庆祝活动就不算完整。他会把这些点心带回家招待客人，即使这意味着要从吉隆坡驱车200多公里去购买。这已经成为他每年的惯例。
对于56岁的P. Ravi来说，Buntong kacang putih小吃不仅仅是屠妖节的特产。他说，它们的品质与其他地方卖的截然不同，而且价格也更实惠。
“我早上7点半左右从吉隆坡出发，到这里要花两个多小时。这对我来说不是负担，因为过去六年里，这里一直是我们全家的首选之地。”
“我们通常会在节日前一周来到这里，我们最喜欢招待客人的食品包括什锦穆鲁库、原味穆鲁库和木薯片，”他今天在甘榜卡昌普提告诉马新社。
这位出生于马六甲的男子表示，他通常会拿出 500 至 1000 令吉，从该地区的几家商店购买各种零食。
他说，这些点心不仅在排灯节期间供应，还会作为礼物送给来访的亲戚、邻居和同事。
他说：“每次庆祝这个节日，这都成了我们家的传统，也是一种加强与同事和邻居联系的方式。”
30岁的公务员K. Gaayathri表示，这些小吃是排灯节庆祝活动中必不可少的，因为它们是来她家做客的客人最喜欢的食物之一。
来自吉隆坡的 Gaayathri 表示，种类繁多的零食和口味使它们在许多人中广受欢迎。
“所以我从不忘记在这里买这些小吃。如果没有这些小吃招待客人，排灯节的庆祝活动就感觉不完整，”她说。
她还希望今年的排灯节庆祝活动能够进一步加强和谐精神，为全国所有印度教徒带来美好和欢乐的光芒。
与此同时，DNS Kacang Putih 的经理 S. Sathis Kumar 表示，在屠妖节期间，他店里的零食需求量比平时增加了 60%。
他说，需求不仅来自印度教顾客，也来自全国各地不同种族背景的人们。
“通常，我们会在排灯节前两周开始做准备，因为我们知道需求会增加，顾客会想要购买这里出售的各种零食。
他说：“目前需求量很高的产品包括辣味什锦酥饼、洛阳糕、圆形酥饼、巴图糕，以及各种糖果和拉杜。”
位于文冬的甘榜卡昌普提（Kampung Kacang Putih）以其种类繁多的白卡昌普提小吃和其他美食而闻名，尤其是在屠妖节（Deepavali）前夕，更是远近闻名，至今已有60年历史。这家店已经传承了三代，至今仍然深受马来西亚不同族裔的人们的喜爱。
