Why customers keep reordering

★★★★★ ella_ismyname12

"It reminds me of the salted fish acar I used to buy from the Portuguese Settlement in Melaka — so nostalgic. I ordered all the way from Peninsular Malaysia to Sabah, and this is already my 3rd time reordering the 4-jar family pack!" — Shopee Review

★★★★★ alice_zuzartee

"Every time I sink my spoon in, I get chunks of the kurau fish! I didn't have to dig around in the jar to look for a piece." — Instagram Comment

★★★★★ srikandi57

"Bought 4 for Ramadhan, to be shared with family. But I think I need to reorder as these will be finished before puasa lah. SEDAP la your acar ikan masin kurau!" — Instagram Comment

FROM AMMA’S KITCHEN

This started in my mother’s kitchen

Long before AcarKing had a name, it had a recipe — my mother's. Every jar that ships out is still made the way it started: small batches, real ingredients, nothing compromised for cost.

Lovely flavour with lots of little pieces of fish. Not too spicy but just the right amount of all the flavours to make you crave for more. Bought a few bottles for myself and my family. Will definitely make more purchases in the future.

Very good and appealing. Just bought 4 bottles. Not too spicy and the Indian spices is not too overwhelming, like those selling in supermarket and Indian grocery shop.

When i had the first jar, after eating i immediately ordered 4 again. Soooo full of kurau. So rare to get such valued acar fish anywhere else

Very efficient service as it just took 2 days for me to receive the two bottles in Kuching. The acar is sourish salty and spicy and goes well with white rice. Really increase your appetite.

My 1st purchase of 2 bottles was a hit. Now my 2nd purchase of 8 bottles. No regrets as true to their word it's 80% kurau fish and the fish pieces is just the right size. Love the size of the bottle too so it's just nice. Absolutely delicious and would highly recommend it.

Seriously the best Salt Fish Pickle. Rice-Curry-Dhall or with Chinese Mix Rice or with Nasi Bungkus 😋 semua sedap!

My friend and I tried it. It's beautifully balanced and delectable flavours proved that it's a masterpiece of perfection, setting it as a gold standard.

My go-to-fix for salted fish acar. Acar King has a really distinctive, layered taste, and a sharp tangy hit. It wakes up your palate immediately—slightly sour, slightly pedas. Then the saltiness kicks in from the kurau fish and then, gentle sweetness that smooths the sour and salt. It's not dessert-sweet, just enough to round things off. Makes you want to eat more rice because the flavor is intense but addictive.

Saw this ad recently and immediately ordered two bottles, NO REGRETS! The bottles were nicely packed and received in good condition. Already finished half bottle. The taste is just right, not spicy nor salty. The first night upon receiving it, I made prawn curry and ate it together with the acar...sedap. It was a perfect combination with the nasi goreng too, added more flavour to my simple meal 😀

This Acar is quite different from the usual acar that we often eat which is cooked with different types of veggies. This Acar from AcarKing has a very unique taste. There's only chunks of kurau inside. The spices used give it a lovely fragrance. The degree of spiciness is perfect. The price is affordable & the delivery is speedy. Personally I like this Acar very much & I would like to recommend it to anyone who would like to try it.

Ordered 2 bottles of AcarKing to try, it tastes so good that my son says he can eat 2 plates of hot white rice just with this AcarKing and nothing else 😋 Thank you AcarKing for this yummy salted kurau acar whereby you can feel the ikan kurau in every bite 😋

It is very tasty and does not have any chemical like taste or smell. Not too spicy, just enough. Definitely made my simple meal more appetizing. It was delivered in a box, protected by layers of packaging. Excellent!

Those who have never tried before usually will buy 1 bottle first (same as me). But i can tell you all out there, 1 bottle is surely not enough. Will definitely buy again
