LorBak a type of meat roll that is very popular in Penang. It is a wedding speciality in the years yonder. Now it is a favourite food found in restaurants . It is seasoned with Chinese spices and served with a special dip and sauces.
This meal is a family favourite. It is our family recipe created by me, and cooked and appreciated by other family members. I used to go to the kitchen of chefs who were preparing for wedding dinners and came back and tell my mum what the ingredients were. That was how the recipe came about.
Tonight's dinner will be lorbak served ala homes style. Pork meat seasoned with spices and wrapped in dry bean curd sheets. It is then deep fried and served with chilli and plum sauce. We will have a vegetable to go with it. This time, we will have a starter, Penang Char Koay Teow. This is fried rice noodle with prawns and bean sprouts. It is a Penang speciality.

This was our first supper with WeFiFo and Loretta made us very welcome. We were a group of three friends. Loretta cooked a delicious three course Malaysian meal and taught us the correct way to use chopsticks for the noodles. The main course was Lorbak; a pork dish and family favourite that Loretta had learned to cook as a child with her mother. Loretta joined us at the table and told us many stories about food and life in Malaysia. She is a witty host and a first class cook. In summary- a super evening, well worth the money, making new friends over superb food.

This was our first event and the Host made us most welcome (we were a bit early at their house) and the other 4 guests (that we did not know at all) were a good bunch as we had Great food and good conversation at the table. There was plenty of food and the Soup was Superb (best ever) and the Desert idea was novel and tasty.

Loretta was a lovely and very good host and I was made to feel very welcome. Each course of the Afternoon Tea was explained in detail with the ingredients content and how it was prepared/cooked, everything was tasty and new to my taste buds. A lovely introduction to Malaysian cuisine. Thank-you Loretta & hope to see you again soon.
