Terengganu Fish Crackers (Keropok Keping)
It is said that if you are in Tererngganu and do not try all of their special delicacies, your visit is not valid. What are the delicacies, you may ask. Top off my head is Nasi Dagang, then there is Keropok Lekor and of course, Keropok Keping.
In my previous two posts yesterday and the day before, I wrote about the two economic contributors of KODESAL, or Koperasi Desa Alor Limbat. This Keropok Keping cottage business is also one of their economic activities.
I had the opportunity to visit their mini factory recently and witnessed for myself the entire process of making both types of Keropok Keping – fried and boiled.
Obviously, fried crackers are everyone’s favourite because the boiled version is a taste to be acquired over time. Not everyone has a liking for it but those who know how to appreciate it can’t live without it.
During my recent trip to Terengganu, I brought home with me FOUR large packets of Keropok Keping…. to be fried and savoured at home in Ipoh, imagining myself by the beach of Redang.
Keropok Keping is just not the same as our prawn crackers – one is made from fish, the other is made from the essence of prawns. Yes, I know. 🙂
Besides fish that has been deboned, other ingredients used to make Keropok Keping are sago flour, salt, ice and Monosodium Glutamate (MSG). Oh, yes! As you can see, it is not for everyone!

Mak aih sedapnya keropok lekor.. sambil makan sambil tengok tv hihi
I actually quite like the boiled version because am not a fan of fried food. I love love love keropok from Terengganu and Kelantan! So yummy
wah…looks like there are plenty of work involved to make the slices 🙂 no wonder those from terengganu taste so good!
Oh yums! Love crackers which uses real meat and not those processed/fake ones. Looks like a lot of hard work but bet it’s yummy!
My childhood memory. It’s always my favourite snack during the old times. 😀
I grew up in Terengganu and this is my absolutely favourite food! Keropok. Do you know there is chinese keropok in terengganu too? its steamed and is served with belachan.
I like original Terengganu keropok unlike some that taste like only flour without much fish.
nice! good to know there is alternative choice for non-fried food lover like me. haha.
