Loh Bak at Kheng Pin Cafe, Penang
Loh Bak is one of the must-try items when you’re in Penang. While the island boasts a good number of stalls serving this popular treat, one of the popular places to have your Loh Bak is Kheng Pin cafe along Penang Road.
I was told the uncle has been frying loh bak for almost 40 years and serves traditional loh bak such as tofu, prawn fritters, fish rolls and meat rolls. This loh bak was seasoned just right with five spice powder, and the meat remained moist beneath the crisp beancurd skin.
Also good was the fritters made with small prawns. The batter held the prawns together and was deep fried till crunchy. Best eaten with the homemade chili sauce and thick starchy sauce provided.
If you’re planning to visit Penang, remember to give this a try. Ask for a mixed platter and don’t bother ordering a small portion; a large one will barely be enough. 😛

I like fried food but I’m quite concern about the cooking oil, I will cabut when I see “black” oil in the wok >.<
Once in a while ok ma… 🙂
ooo, with 40 years of experience (longer than we’ve been alive, ya), this sounds like a reliable bet for loh bak! 😀
Lol good point! 😀
Ahh…this Loh Bak is our fave too… and then there’s the other hidden one in Pengkalan Weld that I blogged about, hehe!
Yeah I saw. I’ll force Criz to take me there also next time. 😛
No doubt is one of the best in Penang. As I frequent Penang a lot, I will always try to visit this place. Have had it for at least 18 years now. Since I am living overseas now, when ever I go back I will try to make an effort to go to this place.
Waaaa…that’s torture man. How to tahan liddat??
I’ve never seen this way of cooking loh bak
So far this is the best. Never miss whenever I am in Penang.
