Snack Time | Keropok Lekor !

Hey guys! So i am going to introduce you the famous local food, KEROPOK LEKOR! For your information, there are three different ways to eat the Keropok! (:

First of all, the boiled long chewy ones! This gives it a fishier flavor but tastes as good as the crispy ones according to some people.

For keropok lekor you can eat it in two ways, it can be eaten either when it is steamed or deep fried, both give different taste. Sometime the boiled one will have fishy smell when they are no longer hot. If you don’t really like the smell, then better to eat it deep fried which is the second types of keropok. The picture below shows that the keropok lekor after deep fried.

While the thin crispy are called Keropok Keping, means slice. The Keropok Keping is also made up of larger tube-shaped keropok being and it will be cut into thin slices. After that, it will be dry in the sun thoroughly, then deep-fry in hot oil before eating.
