Nowadays I seldom take food pictures when dining out at hawker stalls nor restaurants in Penang. But today I decided to bring my camera again. The highlight for the day is none other than my all time favourite, Lok Lok.
Had it together with a colleague of mine at the old hawker stall at Padang Brown, Penang.
The difference of having lok lok here is one can actually sit down and enjoying the lok lok instead of the norm.
A pot of boiling water in the middle of each table, and the boiling water was clear initially...
My all time favourite and something not to be missed out ~ the bloody cockles :)
Next on my list is the sotong + kangkung skewer :)
I don't really fancy the "balls", be it fish balls, meat balls, sotong balls or whatever bola :)
Minum bola, makan bola, tidur bola...
Chili sauce is a MUST :)
Satay sauce ~ Err, not really my cuppa
tea sauce
Wantan is available too...
And not forgetting the fried wantan :)
Sotong oh sotong... (no wonder Sotong missing in action for ages...)
And many other varieties which I lazy wanna take photos d, cos I wanna makan :)
And btw, this is not on the menu. The cat was sleeping underneath the table next to the gas tank. I was joking with my colleague, whether the cat is still alive or being "cook" already...
At the end, our pot of clear boiling water changed colour, just like chameleon.. One of the main contributing factor is the bloody cockles :)
And not forgetting, a plate of nyonya beehoon from the nearby stall.
And last but not least, presenting the "backbone" of the dishes, aka the skewers. Nope, that was not the total number of skewers I had. I don't have such a huge stomach :P

Padang Brown has been around for a long long time. Your post brought back fond memories.
Penang lok lok is so different from Kuching!
Chen,
At first glace, I thought you're going to talk about Kok Kok. haha!
Actually for this lok lok, normally you'll have one stick after another without knowing that you've actually had a lot. Just like satay. hehe.
Tried cat meat yet? hahaha
oooo...yummy...
nak makan....keke..
wow so interesting!
how much ah?expensive or not?
the lok lok here in kch not like this le...this one more like lok lok steamboat style already...heheeh
angeles,
The popiah and nyonya kuih stall there is famous too.
Didn't know about the ago-go story :D
They really call that io kah chng char hor fun sifu as ago-go ah? Hehehhee
iml,
That's true. The stalls there are old, and quite a number of the hawkers there are in their 50's :)
doreen,
This stall is different than the other lok lok stalls.
Most of the lok lok stalls here, the customers have to stand and eat by the road side wan, and everyone dip their lok lok and share the same boiling pot :)
kok,
Kok Kok? Hahaha, sounds like ayam berkokok pulak :P
That's true. Cos it's not that filling, hence can eat a lot without realising it :)
Nope, no cat meat for me :P
wyn,
Hehehe, and I still remember u told me the eating lok lok story of your cousin in the past :)
pink cotton,
Not expensive, but depends on what lok lok u had loh. Generally it is much cheaper than KL :)
I dunno how's the lok lok stall in Kuching. This particular lok lok stall is different than the other lok lok stalls in Penang. Can sit down and have own table :)
Most of the lok lok stalls here, the customers have to stand and eat by the road side wan, and everyone dip their lok lok and share the same boiling pot. And the sauce from the lok lok skewer can drip on the floor while eating wan :P
Nice photos of the skewers...its been some time since I last had the lok-lok, how I miss the cockles...

ck lam,
Thanks. I love lok lok but didn't have kaki to go out with previously. Lately I found out a colleague of mine also loves lok lok. Hence i can go out for lok lok session more frequently :)
Most people loves cockles, and it's my favourite too :)
OMAGODNESS, I feel soooooooo hungry after viewing your food pictures at this wee hour. >< I better go sleep now, bye!
p/s: keke... blog-hopped here thru kok's blog. HI! Hope I won't be chased away. Hehe...
it amazed me that with such good food in front, you still have time to snatch such a piles of photos :P
ychu,
Wah, u r still awake at 2:47 am? :)
I guess what u can have at that hour is.. Maggie Mee?
Thanks for dropping by,
hope u enjoyed your stay here,
but not when u visit with a hungry tummy. LOL
yenjai,
Actually hoh, I took most of the photos after eating.
Service there is efficient and good.
And the boss is very friendly too.
They fill up the food pretty fast,
Hence u see the plates are still full although I half way or almost finish makan already :)
Ah... it's satay celup?
cute cat falling asleep coz' ate too much the left overs? hehehe
selba,
Mmmm... it's commonly known as lok lok here. We had another similar version called satay celup in Malacca, but the skewers r dipped into the boiling satay peanut sauce instead of dipping into boiling hot water :)
I joked with my colleague, asking whether the cat was still breathing or not. It must be enjoying the sauna session underneath the table :)
This post makes me starve to death. Beautiful food line up.
Man, I love cockles! The bloodier the better :)
Will look for this place next time I'm in Penang

But i only started loving it after coming to Peninsular, cos I didn't get to eat lok lok when I was in Sarawak.
No lok lok in my hometown mah :(
Do pay this place a visit when u r in Penang. There are lotsa other yummy hawker food available in Padang Brown :)
day dreamer,
I prefer lok lok with chilli sauce, cos spicy mah :P
Aiseh, but at least u eat the see ham with CKT lah. Some people don't eat see ham wan :)
kyh,
Yeah, it's spicy and i know u love spicy stuff. It's located at brown field. No lah, it's located near the junction of Perak Road and Anson Road.
mich,
Open mouth big-big? u want me to throw the lok lok into your mouth ah? :P
Seems like this agogo char hor fun unker is very femes :)
angeles,
Those were the good old days :)
I heard the popiah there is nice too, but service is a bit slow (referring to the popiah)..
ilovebudu,
Yeah, it's nice. I tapao RM 2 of the nyonya beehoon back home too :)
Fast food, asian style, lok lok. I love it, simple and nice.
a mistake to visit your blog early in the morning !!! Where can I find lok lok now !!!! Hungry lah

pete,
Hehehe, this is the first time I heard someone referring lok lok as fast food ;)
sbanboy,
Wait.. I just saw the time of your comment. How come u r still awake at 4:42 am? Having insomnia ah? :P
mich,
i tot only grandma will do such stuff before feeding their grandchildren? :P
the 2 of you ate all those dishes?? & you said you don't have a big stomach!!
doc,
Haha, thanks for thinking that we have the ability to finish all those food served on the table. Die loh if we really finish eating all those.
Those are pre-served food lah. U choose what u want to eat and they count the amount eaten by the skewers lah. Just like the normal lok lok stall in KL :)
