Here is the Full Menu of the Eatery/Restaurant.Prices are Accurate as of the Date of the Post.
This is quite possibly the Most Affordable Lok Lok I have eaten in JB so far and the varieties really are HUGE!! You can find everything from Fat Tiger Prawns, Mini Baby Crabs, Shisamo and many others that you will not find in other Lok Lok outlets.
They're REALLY not kidding when they say every Lok Lok is RM1.00. It REALLY is RM1.00 for every item, not 1 item have 3 sticks thus actually costing RM3. No matter whether it is higher valued items like Prawns, or lower valued items like Vegetables, EVERYTHING is really RM1.00 each.
Procedure in Ordering:
1) Grab a plate and take whatever Lok Lok you want from the Enormous Table Selection outside.
2) Bring it over to the "Counting Table" outside for them to count your Lok Lok. (This place is easily identified with plates of Lok Lok from other patrons) Tell them you want Spicy or Non-Spicy. They will then give you a slip of paper with the price to pay.
3) Actual Cashier is inside the building, and you can just pass the slip to her and pay. She will give you a Metal Tag to display on your Table. Drinks are also ordered at the Cashier and she will give you a seperate tag to take to display too.
4) Once your Lok Lok are ready, they will bring them right to your Table. As for Drinks, you will need to self-collect them from the Cashier once you hear the Chime and your Tag Number displayed on their LCD screen.
The Lok Lok themselves are very nicely Spiced and Fried and there is even a Condiment Station with no less than 15 FREE Condiments for you to choose to dip.
This place feels more like a Bubble Tea Shop that sells Lok Lok rather than a dedicated Lok Lok place because their main revenue source seems to be selling their Bubble Tea Drinks more than Lok Lok as I really find it hard to believe that they are able to earn much by selling Tiger Prawns at only RM1.00 each. So if you are able to support them by buying more Bubble Teas, it would be much appreciated.
Their Bubble Tea ain't bad tasting too, I did enjoy my Peach Green Tea and it tasted exactly how you think it would taste. Sweet and Refreshing. Take note, Alcohol is not sold here, nor are you able to bring in any Alcohol from outside. This is strictly a Family Friendly Eatery. While I was here, I do see many Families bringing their Kids out. tbh I felt a little out of place as a Solo Diner as every other Diners were either Families, Friends or Couples, although no one bothered to look over and judge me eating alone LOL!
Do come early though as this place really fills up fast. The crowd does somewhat thin a little (just a little) at around 2300hrs. Even though it was crowded when i went, (around 10.00pm at Night), I only waited like 15mins at the most for my Lok Lok to be cooked and delivered to my table.
Protip: There are no Restrooms within the establishment and it is abit of a walk away so you might want to take note of that. (Turn right when walking out of the place, keep going and look to your right until you see some Escalators. The Restrooms are near there)
Other than No Alcohol available, honestly I really can't find any fault with this place. It serves up a Truly Huge Variety of Affordable RM1.00 Lok Lok with No Strings Attached, Great Tasting Bubble Tea, in a Family Friendly environment.
