About Lohbak

Lohbak, also known as fried meat roll or Ngoh Hiang, is a traditional Southeast Asian dish originating from Chinese Hokkien cuisine, often popular in Malaysia and Singapore. This savory delicacy consists of minced pork or chicken mixed with water chestnuts, carrots, and fragrant five-spice powder, wrapped in beancurd skin and deep-fried until golden brown. Lohbak is high in protein, thanks to the meat content, while vegetables add fiber and essential nutrients. Its crispy texture and aromatic spices make it a flavorful treat, though it’s best consumed in moderation due to its sodium and fat from frying. Pairing Lohbak with fresh greens or steamed dishes can balance the overall nutritional profile. Often enjoyed with dipping sauces, this dish embodies the rich, multicultural flavors of Southeast Asian cooking, blending taste and tradition in every bite.
