Actually our very first post on KampungboyCitygal featured about keropok lekor. Our passion of food is not known to others until one day while we were chewing on the keropok lekor..
CityGal : “Guess not many people know about this other than local (KT) ppl huh?”
Kampungboy :” Yeapz. Usually tourists will opt for the keropok lekor in Kampung Losong”
CityGal :” Why dun we start a food blog and tell ppl about this?”
Kampungboy :” Brilliant!! Let’s start working on it!!”
Eventually our blog is now 3 month old and we get to know many new friends who are enthusiastic towards food. Let’s get back the the steamed keropok lekor..
Keropok Lekor is actually fermented fishes and tiny prawns originated from Terengganu. The types of fish mainly used are the ikan parang, tamban and selayang. Its only available in Kuala Terengganu. Orders can be made via phone call or you can pay a visit Kuala Terengganu Hawker Center. Please take note that they wouldn’t be selling during monsoon season as fish supply is inadequate
Cili Padi..Extremely Hot
orders can be made via phone call, but who to call? =P
nice when its fresh and warm or else, like me, I fried them up
Rad: I can get u the num if u want
Foodcrazee: We tried toasting it before..But it’s not really nice compared to those lekor with grayish colour one
hey 1st time i see steam one worr!!
usually I have it fried and served hot!!
u sure nice ar? steam worr! haha!
Very nice n chewy..You juz can’t stop chewing..Must TRY!!
Yeah, like Joan I’ve only eaten them fried and never steamed. Whenever I am driving up the coastal road, I love to stop at the side stalls to get Keropok Lekor that is freshly made.
I grew up eating Keropok Lekor, but I oso never tried steam one wohh. Would really love to try some day.
:D~ *drooling over the cili padi dip*
its really the spicy..compatible to ur shark or mad dog sauce i think..
i grew up munching cili padi. Yes, they can be hot, especially the ones from thailand, but …
Mad Dog is in a league of it’s own! Trust me 😉
The next time I’m back in M’sia, perhaps I’ll bring it along and you can try 🙂
My dad is from KT and whenever we go back we buy tons of the steam and fried lekor. We also go for the nasi dagang and keropok… yummy. haven’t been back to KT for couple of years already. 🙁
You should try the local one. This one look like the one they made to sent to other places. more powder because the original keropok lekor is dark and you can actually taste the fish in it. Therefore you can get it only in terengganu because they usually only sell it there.- I am born and raise in KT (Jet)
I LOVE KEROPOK LEKOR!
Too bad I don’t get to go to KT often *sob*
