Our homemade Khau YokeMy wife's homemade Khau Yoke (17 April 2013)


Khau Yoke (Traditional/Simplified Chinese: 扣肉) is a local Penang dish that is often made at home. Although of Hakka origin, I have seen khau yoke making an appearance in the menu of many local restaurants in Penang. This is a dish of pork belly alternating with yam (or rather, taro).

My wife often makes khau yoke at home. On this page I want to share with you her recipe.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
