Thoughts: "炸蝦餅 Prawn fritters" are more commonly known as 'Cucur udang" or "Jemput-Jemput Udang"; "Jemput" literally means "an Invitation" (supposedly for it being a bite-size snack) and "Udang" is Malay word for "Shrimp". The street food can be commonly found on the streets of 馬來西亞 Malaysia and 新加坡 Singapore offered by make-shift street vendors, and usually offered along with other "bite-size snacks" such as "炸香蕉 Goreng Pisang (Fried Banana Fritters)" and "馬來炸魚餅 Keropok Lekor (Malay style Fried Fish Cakes)"! This kind of street food is typical offered of 馬來街頭小販 Malay street vendor specialty.

Thoughts: The same items I had here 2.5 years ago on May 17, 2019 at the same Aroi Thai branch in USJ21's Main Place Mall! 
Looks like there are 2 Aroi Thai locations in USJ:
Aroi Thai in Damen Mall USJ1
Aroi Thai in Main Place Mall USJ21
But after 653 days since the MCO1.0 lockdown, it is also interesting to find that most of the F&B are still in operation in USJ21's Main Place Mall. If not mistaken, I think at least two F&B casualties that is "豐衣粥食 Porridge Time" and "韩式料理店 Seoul Garden Hot Pot" where both shops at LG are now vacant.
