What is keropok lekor?

I saw a stall selling keropok lekor at Giant just now so I bought R3 for us to eat as dessert after dinner. It can be taken anytime of the day whenever you like it. What is actually keropok lekor? It is a famous snack produced from the east coast in Seberang Takir,Terengganu, made of fish meat that is ground to a paste mixture with sago, flour and other ingredients.

It comes in two types, the long chewy ones are called keropok lekor which is white and thin whereas the crispy ones are called keropok keping, It would be very tasty if you you dip keropok lekor with some chilli sauce.

There are two ways to eat keropok lekor. You can either deep fried or eaten boiled. However if you don't like the fishy smell then it is better to take the deep fried ones. Some people just prefered it boiled as it doesn't require any oil to cook at all.

Keropok Keping are made of larger tubes shaped and sliced into very thin slices. After that they are dried under the sun to make them storagable. You will need to fry the keropok keping before consumption. You can either eat keropok keping just like dat or dip with some chilli sauce.

Nowadays many malay stalls including night markets are selling this popular keropok lekor from Terengganu. Do try some when you come across any of the stalls selling.
