Malaysia

Keropok lekor with sauce, sold in some restaurants in Malaysia. It's also available in East Malaysia too~~

Keropok lekor is originally from Terengganu, Malaysia. It was  made from fish.

In Malaysia, keropok lekor that are made from fish is also popular. Krupuk are usually made by grinding fish or prawns or squid or vegetables into a paste, mixing with sago and then deep-frying it. It comes in three main forms: keropok lekor which is long and chewy, keropok losong (steamed) and keropok keping which is thin and crispy. It is frequently served with dipping sauces.

Prawn based krupuk are the most widely available in the west, and are white or light brown in colour. Despite the high amount of shrimp used, any shrimp taste is usually quite subtle. Perhaps the most common form is the Indonesian krupuk udang, made with dried shrimp and hence a light shade of pink. Some consumers have noted that the quality of krupuk has dropped over the years, with manufacturers using sago as a cheap filler for fish krupuk.
