What is Loh Bak

Loh Bak is a mixed plate named after its signature item, the sausage-rolls of seasoned meat called loh bak. Also written Lor Bak, this popular side dish is often available at coffee shops and hawker stalls in Penang at lunch time. In addition to the seasoned meat, a combo platter of loh bak also includes, prawn fritters, taukua (beancurd), boiled herbal egg, century egg, and slices of cucumber. Some stalls also include ikan pari (string ray), octopus (purple on the skin, white inside), springrolls and even sausages to their Loh Bak combination plate.

Loh Bak is accompanied by two dips. One is the loh, the dark gooey dip made from tapioca flour, egg, ngor-yong hoon (5-spice powder) and dark soy sauce. The other is chilli sauce dip. There is no particular order whether you dip the piece in the loh followed by chilli or vice versa.
