Kedai Kopi dan Ice Kacang, Lorong Selamat, Penang

Well, when mention Lorong Selamat, I guess the first thing that comes in one's mind is the famous char kuey tiow. Yes! I was there for the char kuey tiow and the waiting time is about 30-45 minutes. So, while waiting, there are other food that you can try too. This is what you can try.........

Lor bak @ Kedai Kopi Low Eng Hoo, Lorong Selamat, Penang

I don't fancy lor bak but the one served here impressed me. Every selection of the lor bak here tasted good and fresh, Not like those you find in KL, most of the lor bak in hawker stalls has been kept for few days, frying and heating over and over again! Lor bak here is served with one small bowl of chilli sauce and another small bowl of "loh", a thick broth thickened with cornstarh and cooked with eggs.

In most places, lor bak is served with many varieties of deep fried food like fish balls, taiwan sausages etc. Lor bak are normally served with chilli sauce and a bowl of broth thickend with cornstarch and cooked with beaten eggs.
