Authentic Penang lorbak for sale in KL – RM30 for 10 rolls!

My grandmother makes the best … “xxxx “.

Sounds familiar?

Well, I honestly do think that my granny made the best Penang Lorbak.
Hers is a lovingly marinated mix of pork liver, lean pork, pork fat strips and
Some recipes call for water chestnuts, others used jicama (sengkuang) for the sweetness and pleasant crunch.

Confused?

Don’t be.
Penang lorbak is different from “Ngoh Hiang” aka chinese meatrolls.

For a start, Penang lor bak uses whole strips of pork loin whereas a ngoh hiang recipe calls for minced meat.
I’m a Penangite so I’ve grown up enjoying lorbak and I like to be able to bite and see actual chunks of meat, as opposed to minced version.

Strips also gave the meat rolls a lot more bite than minced ones which tends to be soggy especially when the maker cheats by adding flour and whatnots into the ngoh hiang.

For lorbak, the meat is in your face, no qualms about it.
And the meatrolls are unapologetically spiced, robust in flavours and aroma from the use of “ngoh hiang hoon” aka “five-spice powder”.

Penang lorbak is best eaten dipped in a lor sauce aka sticky egg white and starch mixture that is uniquely for this dish.
There should be a watery, sweet spicy chilli dip as well.

However in the Klang Valley most hawkers offers the Penang lorbak without both the lor (gravy) and correct chilli dip.
And there are not many “legit” Penang lorbak sellers around to begin with.

Well, that’s why I started my Hearts & Hands business.

These lorbak are transported from Penang monthly and it is one of the better ones that you can get for now.
It is not my granny’s version, but that recipe is lost as she had passed on a decade ago.

Many such recipes and skills are lost forever and that was the catalyst for the birth of Hearts & Hands.
I had wanted to work with homemakers and anyone, anyone who is willing to teach, share, make and sell traditional food or craft, namely in the effort to educate our current generation on how authentic recipes are like, while preserving the traditional and simultaneously generating an income to those makers/bakers/creators.

For now we are not able to provide the lor sauce and the chilli.
However, it is tasty on its own and if you do need some spicing up, sambal or Kg Koh will do fine.

    your list of goodies keeps growing! 🙂 i don’t personally have an affinity to penang lorbak, since i never had it in malacca, and it wasn’t really something i had often while studying in penang. these look great though – i like the look of the textured fillings. and your initiative is excellent and very relevant to the malaysian food scene – i look forward to seeing more food-makers join your roster, and eventually ordering something close to my heart! 😀
