Malaysian Foods (Keropok Lekor)

Keropok Lekor is one of the unique food that is a specialty of Terengganu . Basically, there are two types of keropok. The first one is a tube-shaped that resembles sausages called "Keropok Lekor" and the second one is the cracker-shaped called "Keropok Keping" (sliced keropok).They are made up of fish, flour and other ingredients. For Keropok Lekor, you can eat it in two ways. Deep fried or boiled. If you don't really like the fishy smell, then better to take the deep fried as sometime the boiled one will have some fishy smell, especially when they are no longer hot. However, some like it boiled as it doesn't require oil to cook.The Keropok Keping is also made up of larger tube-shaped keropok being sliced into very thin slices. Then they are dried under the sun to make it storagable. The raw Keropok Keping are sold in packets. You need to fried it into a hot oil before consumption. It is nice to be eaten alone or dipping with the local chilli sauce. Keropok is easily found elsewhere in Kuala Terengganu, from the stalls beside the road to restaurants or market.
