Penang Lobak



Penang Lobak is fried coarse minced pork and various veggies rolled in tofu skin which is very popular in malaysia or known as Ngoh heong 五香 in singapore. As I know, hong kong peoples have this kind of snack too but in different name---- 鮮竹卷 sing chuk quen. It is best served with five spice dipping sauce and chilli sauce or even just plain. Normally, peoples will eat it with prawn fritters, a few slices of century egg, fried tofu and cucumber. I have no much time as I have 3 young toddlers. Hope you will like it too.
