Lor Bak @ Kheng Pin Cafe

Wishlisted by Michelle

Lor Bak is another dish that’s been adapted by various Asian cultures including the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and of course, Malaysia. Typically, it’s a mix of meats, seafood, and/ or vegetables, combined together in a thin beancurd skin, deep fried, and served with a chili sauce and a sweet sauce. Kheng Pin Café is notable for a number of reasons. Over the years, the half-a-century-old kopitiam has had recipes passed from generation to generation, each of which garnering significant public attention. But none of these delicious dishes stand out more than the store’s offering of Lor Bak. Apparently, you can ask any local for the best Lor Bak in Penang, and most definitely they will direct you the “five- spice pork rolls” in this old-fashioned eatery.
