Keropok lekor! at Kampung Losong



a little info is in the video about keropok lekor!

A little info on keropok lekor ;

I was so happy I finally got to see how keropok lekor is made in Kampung Losong which is known for making keropok lekor in Terengganu. Ive always eaten keropok lekor, especially in highschool. Hot keropok lekor sold like hotcakes at the cafeteria during lunch breaks! I also usually buy them from pasar malam (night markets) and roadside stalls. So, having the chance to see and taste them when they are fresh out of the "oven" is amazing!










As you can see in the video and pictures above above, making keropok lekor involves hand rolling the fish paste into rolls and boiled in a huge pot of water. It looks kinda like making sausages eh?. Let’s imagine keropok lekor as a fish sausage!

Normally, keropok lekor is eaten deep fried. However, this makcik told us that they are best eaten boiled. So, we bought a couple at Rm1 a piece and had it hot out of the boiling pot. We also got some special chillies sauce to dip in it too!

The prepared keropok lekor is sold everywhere in Terengganu and some are sent to other states too. Keropok lekor is best had during tea time, or heck anytime of the day! yum!

I know the long ones look pretty icky, but trust me, it tastes WAY better than it looks!
