Do you know if you search “Steamboat” in Yahoo!! This is what you get...Really 1 big 1 small ah....!!! Anyway, if you would mention steamboat in Malaysia, I am pretty confidence 99% of Malaysian will not think anything near there.
This is what I am talking about, the real meaning of “Steamboat” in Malaysia. Not to say the word is wrong but the real meaning of using “Steamboat” in Malaysia. This could be the more standard way of enjoying a good Steamboat. There is a lot of steamboat buffet restaurant in the street now. With different name, different location, different shop but all serve the same thing...or at least similar....But still there is another way of enjoying steamboat also...
This one!!!
Honestly, I have stop eating it since very young due to a serious case happen that time. I believe it was like 15-20 years back when our parent will not allow us to eat it. But this couple of years, this business is coming back...very much alive...with different brand name as well!!! As far as I can notice, there is at least 3 brands in Klang Valley now, not to mention some others freelance doing lok lok on their own.
Lok Lok is the comment name use for this kind of Steamboat. They park on the road side...using very noisy generator to generate power for the lights...all food are serve openly along with big ice cube next to it...not really a good choice for enjoying a good meal...but it is definitely mine especially for supper!!
They serve a lot of food in this small store. Mostly are meat balls...fish ball, pig ball, sotong ball, you name it!! And of course there is also a lot of “spare parts” where others might find it disgusting to eat. But still, this is my all time favourite.
One of the signature foods everyone should try when eating lok lok is the Kerang. I don’t know how to say it in English, but this babe is a must...just need to boil it into the hot water for 10 seconds...put in the chilli source and that is the best way of eating it!!! Simple and nice!!!
Try it if you dare but be aware of your stomach condition whether can accept this kind of food because this kind of food is only for strong stomach people only!! :D
