Review : Zao lek Lok Lok (update!)

Address : Paya Lebar Kovan CC, 207 Hougang Street 21, 530207

Operating hours : 530pm to 1130pm daily except Tuesdays

Price : Adult $24 nett (update: weekend price: $27 nett)
           Children $12 nett
           Student $20 nett

Able to choose any 2 soup bases - chicken soup, ma la, tom yum, satay, laksa and bak kut teh. Add $4 for satay sauce. It's slightly spicy.

(update) The young female server was rather rude. She did not wait for me to take the pic and almost snatched this piece of laminated menu from me. 💢 😒




Actually, can't really taste the differences between the soups (bak ku teh and satay) after a while. Just that the satay soup is a little spicy.

Zaolek Lok Lok have free flow drinks - plain water, water chestnut wheatgrass juice and lime juice. They also have beer and canned drinks (not included in the $24++ pricing).

Nice experience! We don't have to travel to JB for lok lok. But there are some of the food that JB have, such as scallops, cockles, pig blood, golden mushroom wrapped with bacon etc and Zaolek Lok Lok didn't offer.

The place is an outdoor area, equipped with big fans. But it still feel quite warm cuz of the steam coming out of the steamboat.





3 ways to enjoy lok lok at Zaolek.





Steamboat lok lok. They don't top up the soups.


update: chicken soup and tom yum soup. The tom yum soup base not bad though, not so spicy.
 






Deep fried lok lok

BBQ lok lok. Can't choose what you want as the servers will be going around with the BBQ lok lok. (update) the PRC ladies and one older lady are sweet and polite! Smiling and asking customers nicely and politely if we would like to have some of the BBQ lok lok.


(Update) Deep fried lok lok - fake crab meat, cheese mini hotdog, meat ball, luncheon meat, pork, chicken wrapped with seaweed. Limit to only 12 sticks per round. Only given a wooden peg so got to wait for the next round. They are quite fast though.

(Update) Deep fried lok lok - oyster mushroom, potato slice, squid and pig stomach. Don't recommend deep frying the pig stomach. The pig stomach is so tough that it's hard to bite. Same goes for the mock abalone. Best to boil it.


(Update) For steamboat lok lok - prawns, spinach and pork cubes. The pork cubes are like, the ones used in bak ku teh, the meat is tender and quite sweet.

(Update) For steamboat lok lok. Mock abalone, mushroom, tang o, pig stomach and prawns.

 
 (Update) Deep fried lok lok - sweet potato (surprisingly nice!), yam and potato slice.
 


I would prefer if they would label what type of meat. I can't tell which part of the pork it is. All these can be either use for steamboat or deep fry.
(update) still no labels. 😄  They are quick in topping up the ingredients.



(update)  they have quite a variety of vegetables, cabbages, spinach, local lettuce, bittergroud, etc. They use ham to wrap around the enoki mushroom but I would very much prefer bacon wrapped enoki mushroom.
 
Assorted fruits.


I think they have strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, cookie and cream and something else. LOL

update: they have matcha ice cream! 2 types of cookies and cream, but I can't tell the difference.  😛
