Malaysians and deep-fried food are definitely a marriage made in heaven. Indeed, Loh Bak needs no introduction in the food capital of Malaysia, where it is a common item in the street food scene - pork marinated in Chinese five-spice powder, mixed with various ingredients such as water chestnuts, jicama, carrot and onions, snugly rolled up with a sheet of bean curd and fried till crispy. Somewhat resembling spring rolls albeit much darker in colour, loh bak are typically sold alongside other deep-fried items such as sausages, fish cakes and prawn fritters. For a full-fledged deep-fried feast, follow the food trail below that leads to some of the best loh bak in Penang!

Joo Hooi Cafe
Just a stone’s throw away from the famous Penang Road Chendol, this cafe is the best bet for local hawker food in Georgetown. Leaving this joint without chomping down a platter of loh bak would be a great mistake. For more than 30 years, this stall has been making delicious loh bak from scratch each day. Served piping-hot, the pork remains moist and juicy beneath the crispy bean curd skin. Dip your loh bak into some chilli sauce or sweet sauce for some added flavour to this delicious roll of seasoned meat.
