One Chuan Chuan Lok Lok SS2 (一串串碌碌) is located in between BHP Petrol and Durianman in SS2. There is a wide variety of choices of lok lok here. Each stick costs RM1.
Do take note that some items have 2 sticks stuck into them. Those costs RM2 each. I came here for the first time yesterday and was caught slightly off-guard that 2 lidi sticks means RM2 for that stick. So be careful what you choose or you may end up paying exorbitantly.
Cooking methods: Fried or boiled.
There are 2 types of baskets at One Chuan Chuan Lok Lok to choose for your cooking method.
1 basket is for frying (pink basket)
1 basket is for items to be cooked in boiling water (green basket)
I carefully chose 7-8 sticks but ended up paying RM13 for those. My conclusion is that it's not very cheap at the end of the day cause you may not feel very full even after forking up quite a hefty bit as some of the portions are small. And I mean very little portion. Some portions are pretty ridiculous for RM1 per stick. While the food was OK, I felt the price was too expensive.
Lok lok is a popular street food in Malaysia. It involves skewered and boiled or grilled meats, seafood, vegetables, and other ingredients that are served on sticks. The skewers are usually placed in a large pot of boiling water or hot oil. Customers then choose what they want to eat by picking the skewers they like. They then dip them into a variety of sauces.
The sauces that are commonly used for lok lok include peanut sauce, chili sauce, sweet and sour sauce and soy sauce. The better vendors would also offer their own special blends of sauces to set them apart.
Lok lok is a fun and interactive way to enjoy a wide variety of Malaysian food. Customers can mix and match different ingredients and sauces to create their own unique flavour combinations. It's also a popular option for late-night snacking. Many lok lok vendors operate in the evenings and into the early morning hours.
