Kerepek Ubi Pedas Kering 500g
Crispy, spicy and unmistakably Malaysian — Kerepek Ubi Pedas Kering combines the satisfying crunch of thinly sliced cassava with a dry, spicy chilli seasoning that lets every piece stay beautifully crisp.
Unlike Pedas Basah, which is known for its richer, slightly sticky chilli coating, Pedas Kering keeps things dry and crunchy. The result is a lighter style of spicy kerepek where you can enjoy the natural earthy character of cassava together with a delicious chilli kick.
Simple, crunchy and pedas — sometimes that’s exactly what you want.
What Is Kerepek Ubi?
Kerepek ubi means cassava chips in Malay.
Cassava, commonly called ubi kayu in Malaysia, has been an important ingredient throughout Southeast Asia for generations. This humble root vegetable can be boiled, steamed, turned into traditional kuih or sliced thinly and fried until wonderfully crisp.
Turning ubi kayu into kerepek became a particularly popular way of transforming this everyday ingredient into a snack that could be enjoyed and shared.
Across Malaysia, you’ll find countless variations — from lightly salted cassava chips to sweet, spicy and heavily seasoned versions.
What Does “Pedas Kering” Mean?
Pedas means spicy, while kering means dry in Malay.
And that describes the character of this snack perfectly.
Rather than coating the cassava chips in a wet or sticky chilli mixture, Pedas Kering uses a drier style of spicy seasoning, helping the chips retain that distinctive crisp texture.
Every bite gives you the crunch of cassava first, followed by savoury seasoning and chilli heat.
Pedas Kering or Pedas Basah?
Both begin with crispy kerepek ubi, but they offer quite different snacking experiences.
🌶️ Pedas Kering – Dry chilli seasoning, crisp texture and a cleaner spicy finish.
🔥 Pedas Basah – A richer chilli coating with a slightly sticky, sweet-spicy character.
If you prefer your kerepek extra crispy with plenty of chilli flavour but without the sticky coating, Pedas Kering is the one to reach for.
Of course, the very Malaysian solution is to put both varieties on the table.
The Malaysian Kerepek Tradition
Kerepek is deeply familiar in Malaysian snack culture.
Small producers and home-based businesses across the country have long turned ingredients such as cassava, banana, sweet potato and other produce into crispy snacks, each with their own recipes and seasonings.
They’re especially familiar during festive occasions such as Hari Raya, when jars and containers of snacks are placed out for visiting friends and relatives.
But Malaysians certainly don’t wait for a celebration to eat kerepek.
It’s equally at home during afternoon tea, family gatherings, road trips or sitting in front of the television.
