Li is Doing…

21.01.08

Mum took me to New World Park again for lunch. Decided on Lok Lok this time. Funny thing is we both have never eaten Lok Lok before. Steamboat yes, but food on a stick that is dip into soup to cook? No.

The waiter there is very nice,polite & helpful. He even recommends which type of mee which should pick or which sauce is more preferred by customers. Very good service.

Lok Lok is still like steamboat to me. Just that we have to hold the sticks while waiting for it to cook like this :

First the menu:

Then we choose what we like & write down how many we want on this paper:

We get to choose two type of soups:

Way to go for modern technology, just a touch of the button, & you can control the temperature of your soup.

The only thing that makes this Lok Lok place more special from others is the different type of sauces they offer I guess.

They give you this white plate for you to put the sauces in. You can help yourself to how much you want. My mum loves spicy stuff so look at her plate!

I cannot stand spicy stuff at all. It’s pain to me, not a taste. I’m probably killing my taste buds when I eat spicy stuff. Not to mention I tend to get a stomach ache right after. So this is my plate, sigh.

I don’t know if people realize, but there is something really creepy about prawns. I mean just look at their legs! They’re uncountable. It makes me feel like I’m eating some kind of under water/sea millipede with a shell. Feel turned off by prawns yet?
Oooh, & I wouldn’t want a stick up me like that.

This is the most expensive noodles on the menu. Kinda chewy.

The interior of the Lok Lok restaurant looks like this:

This is the view outside from inside of the restaurant.

Wouldn’t mind going back there again. Good food & great service at an affordable price. What more can you ask for?

After that, we decided to buy desserts back home. It’s impossible to take away Ice Kacang & Chendol. It’ll have melted before we even reach home. So we went to this Nyonya Cafe. Many people were having their lunch inside!

They have all those nice traditional foods/dessert.

We ordered 2 Bu Bu Cha Cha & 1 Pengat. Bu Bu Cha Cha has pieces of potato, sweet potato, yam, jelly in coconut milk. At least I think it tastes like coconut milk. Anyway it does taste good. Pengat is exactly like Bu Bu Cha Cha to me, except it has banana pieces in it which I absolutely hate.

I don’t do bananas. I really hate them. Next time before you eat a banana, try cutting it in half right down the middle. You might be surprised in what you find inside. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’ve never eaten another banana again after that. Then again, you could be lucky, your banana might not have WORMS in them.

Back to the topic, we had to wait for them to pack the dessert so we sat down inside, & I took photos of the place. It’s like stepping into your grandma’s house. That is if your grandparents were Nyonya/Baba like mine were.

All the detailing down to the marble tables & those small lights that they hang up on the walls.

Apparently they have another outlet in Tanjung Tokong! Something like next to Naza Hotel which probably why I never saw it before although I pass it practically every time I go to town. Naza Hotel is off the main road. You have to sort of turn off the main road to get there.

I was ecstatic but then the lady told us it is under renovation now & will be opened again after Chinese New Year. & I will be in Melbourne by then. Boo hoo. I think I’m going to miss all these desserts the most. Never mind, ice cream will comfort me in Melbourne. :p

These cost like RM4 a bowl. Something around that price which is kinda expensive but just look at how many potatoes/yam they give. Other Bu Bu Cha Cha that I ate have more jellies than the potatoes/yam as the sellers try to increase their profit margin. Then again, they charge half of what I paid for this bowl of Bu Bu Cha Cha. You really get what you pay for.

Off we went to buy CNY goodies again. Would you believe we finished all that we had? Ahhh, costly stuff.

But worth it when you bite into ‘em. Yummy.

 

Ps: I wish I had my old hairstyle back. I dun think I like it framing my face this way. I miss it. Please grow faster!
