If you’re hankering for something tasty after office hours, there is one spot in Puchong that operates late into the night.

Known as Puchong Lok-Lok Street, the open-air hawker centre is well-known to local residents as well as foodies from far and wide.

By day, the area behind the Bangunan Pro Ice is a parking lot.

As 6pm approaches though, workers from nearby offices start driving their vehicles away. And waiting to fill every bit of available space are food trucks by the dozens.

By 7pm, Puchong Lok-Lok Street is up and ready for business, with the heat from stoves and the aroma of food wafting through the air.

While it is named after the famous food on skewers, Lok-Lok Street also offers just about every other kind of street food Malaysians love. But it’s safe to say, food trucks selling lok-lok dominate the scene here.

An FMT Lifestyle team checked out a stall called Mun’s Lok-Lok Corner, which had quite a substantial offering of different types of lok-lok.

The average price of lok-lok here is RM3 per stick, which is rather typical these days. Still, considering that some sticks come with four portions, rather than the usual three, the price is arguably worth it.

At Mun’s, most lok-lok are deep-fried with a coating of homemade spicy powder, which gives meats and vegetables alike a flavourful kick.

And given the fast service and good-natured hawkers, Mun’s Lok-Lok Corner is definitely worth your patronage if you’re in the area.

Also on the grounds is Unforgettable Char Kway Teow which sells, you guessed it, char kway teow, but also fried rice.

In addition to ordinary char kway teow, the stall also offers char kway teow with duck egg at the additional cost of RM1.

The char kway teow is pretty great by Klang Valley standards, neither too dry nor too soggy and adequately springy.

The portion is also generous for the price and the duck egg makes every last morsel of the noodles worth savouring.

That said, a few more cockles and prawns would have made the experience even better, though those are definitely expensive these days.

Also worth your patronage is an adjacent food truck adorned with banners crowing about its special Otak-Otak Muar. Folks who hail from Johor’s royal town should give this a try to see how it compares with the stuff back home.

FMT Lifestyle’s verdict? It is otak-otak for sure, and it is tasty. But it hardly has the same freshness or spiciness that otak-otak from Muar is famous for.

However, the same food truck also sells seafood omelettes, including the ever-popular oyster omelette.

This dish comes with large helpings of delightfully sweet and chewy oysters that go perfectly with the egg. The best way to enjoy this treat is with a dash of chilli sauce, which the stall provides with every serving of omelette.

Finally, what better way to quench your thirst than with a cold drink or an icy dessert. Both are very much available on Lok-lok Street.

The Penang MTY Dessert food truck, for example, sells great lai chee kang, with plenty of dates and other goodies in it.

Even if you’re not much of a foodie, a visit to Lok-Lok Street may be worth your while just for the experience.
