Klang - Lok-Lok Steamboat

Lok-lok actually means boiling, its a way to describe boiling food on a satay stick in hot boiling water similar to steamboat. My favourite lok-lok place in Klang is situated at a lane behind Jalan Nenas to Jalan Melayu. Its a row of make shift eateries.

The unique thing about the place is the lok-lok comes in a low price of 40 cents per stick but of course the portion are smaller, but still cheap to me. It used to be 30 cents when I first discover this place many years ago. The shop only have 6 tables equipped with the lok-lok pot, so there is usually a queue to wait.

Outside the shop, there are a row of 4-5 small waiting tables, you can sit on these tables and wait for the next table to be available and someone will direct you in the "queue process". While waiting, they will take your drink order and you can order some other food from stalls around. The popular waiting food would be satay (pork or chicken) or some very yummy and unique lobak.

Unfortunately during my last visit on a Friday night, the lobak is closed, I hope they are just resting and still continue selling because their lobak is quite unique and different from the norm. So, we had some pork satay to wait and only a minimum order of 10 will be served, par pai betul :P. The pork satays are very lean served with a light peanut sauce, definately cannot compare to those in Malacca, but can do la at RM0.50 per stick.



At the lok-lok table, all the food available will be placed on the table, so there is not much space for other stuff. Whenever you finish a certain food type, you can ask the boss to replenish or he will usually do his round and fill up for you.

They provide 4 different types of sauce, the usual peanut sauce, a sweet sauce, the light orange chili sauce and a green bird chili type of sauce. Instead of the usual plate, you get a small sauce plate here for your sauce.

The lok-lok is still good here and I really hope the lobak is still around, will check it out on my next visit :D

hehe.... I'm not a fan of lok lok in KL/Selangor. Melaka satay celup is still very much more indulging :p
