About Lekor

Lekor, a beloved delicacy of Malaysian origin, is a traditional snack made primarily from fish paste and sago flour, mixed to form a dough and then deep-fried or boiled. Popular in coastal areas like Terengganu and Kelantan, this dish is often paired with spicy chili sauce for a flavorful contrast. Rich in protein from the fish content, Lekor offers nutritional benefits essential for muscle growth and repair. However, its health aspects depend on preparation methods: boiled versions are lower in fat, making them a healthier option, while the deep-fried variation is higher in calories and less heart-friendly due to the use of oil. A source of essential fatty acids and minerals, Lekor can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet when consumed in moderation alongside fresh, nutrient-rich accompaniments.
