Lok No Further, Here Are The Best Lok Lok Spots In Singapore So You Don’t Have To Travel To JB
I’ll always remember the first time I ate Lok Lok out of a converted van in JB. Although it was a tad unhygienic, it was a truly fun and unique dining experience.
Lok Lok is a dish consisting of various deep-fried foods such as meats and vegetables that are served on a skewer and traditionally dipped into thick satay sauce.
Lok Lok is EXTREMELY underrated in Singapore. If you haven’t tried it, honestly why?
So here it is. Here’s a list of Lok Lok spots you can enjoy in Singapore so you don’t have to travel all the way to JB.

2. Chuan Le Xiang Lok Lok
This next one is a little bit out of the way but definitely worth the trip.
This old school Lok Lok dining experience is a passed-down 25-year Singapore family-kept recipe extracted from Satay Bee Hoon.
There’re three soup bases for you to choose from (chicken/mala/satay) but we highly recommend the satay base. Each base pot will cost you $8.
Best part, each stick goes as low as $1 so you know you’ll be leaving this place with a food coma.

Tucked away in Pasir Panjang Food Centre is a shop that sells Lok Lok with a twist. Instead of dipping your skewered ingredients in peanut sauce, you get a pot of gooey melted cheese.

Their Cheesy BBQ Lok Lok ($38) comes in a set which includes 18 sticks of food of your choice. You can also order additional skewered ingredients if you’re still hungry!

[caption id="attachment_33932" align="aligncenter" width="819"] Image Credit: Wang BBQ Lok Lok Facebook[/caption]Located in Chomp Chomp Food Centre, you can expect a 45 minute wait as the process to prepare these skewers involves coating the chosen skewers in their special homemade sauce and either grilling these skewers over a charcoal grill, or deep frying them.

This Japanese-Inspired French Patisserie Serves Cakes That Are Too Pretty To Eat
If there’s one thing that I can eat for the rest of my life, it would be a good slice of cake.
Now I love cakes as much as, if not more than, the next person. I look forward to my birthday every year because I know I’ll get to indulge in a rich Belgium dark chocolate cake, finished with a silky chocolate glaze.

The Royals Steakhouse started business in 2015, in a little shophouse unit along Jalan Pisang serving premium quality Halal steaks from Australia and New Zealand.
In fact, the steak here is so good that they separate the sauces from the meat so you can truly taste the original flavour of the steak.
The Tomahawk steak seems like something from The Flintstones, but this huge slab of steak is perfect for sharing with family.
Priced at $9.50 per 100g, the Tomahawk steak typically weighs between 1.3kg – 1.5kg. The price is such a steal however for a limited time only as it is an introductory offer for their Tomahawk.

Just in case you prefer something that isn’t too crazy, The Prime New Zealand Ribeye 200-220g ($28) is the perfect choice for you.
The ribeye is lightly dabbed with salt before grilling. The exterior is nicely charred while retaining a juicy red centre.

Tasty Street ‘Spoils Market’ With Wagyu Beef, Iberico Pork Rice Bowls Under $7
We’ve seen many stalls selling ricebowls. From poké bowls to fancy Japanese donburi, we’ve seen it all.
Now, a new player steps into the ring. Meet Tasty Street.
[caption id="attachment_33772" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Tasty Street – Our Little Red Dot[/caption]Tasty Street was started by 3 friends who met during their Polytechnic days, using modern cooking techniques to combine local flavours and premium ingredients into a grain bowl.
Premium Ingredients, Affordable Prices
Each grain bowl comes with a protein of your choice with a paired homemade sauce, brown and pearl rice base, vegetable of the day, a sour or spicy side of the day, charred sweet corn, and a beautifully poached onsen egg.
Their bestsellers are the Wagyu Beef Bowl, Iberico Lor Bah Bowl, and the Sous Vide Chicken Breast Bowl with Truffled Hotplate Tofu Sauce.
[caption id="attachment_33776" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Bestsellers at Tasty Street[/caption]The Sous Vide Chicken Breast Bowl with Truffled Hotplate Tofu Sauce ($6.50) comes with their signature Truffled Hotplate Tofu Sauce, which still retains a strong taste of the hot bean paste used as the base for the sauce.
[caption id="attachment_33773" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Sous Vide Chicken Breast Bowl With Truffled Hotplate Tofu Sauce ($6.50)[/caption] [caption id="attachment_33777" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Image Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]The chicken breast wasn’t dry (thankfully) and retained its moisture because of the Sous Vide cooking method. It was a little gamey, as all poached chicken do.
However, the truffled hotplate tofu sauce does its job well, masking most of the gamey taste of the chicken breast.
The Wagyu Beef Bowl ($6.50) uses premium Australian Wagyu beef, grilled and served with Asian black pepper sauce.
This is a crowd favourite and sells out fast.
[caption id="attachment_33771" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Wagyu Beef Bowl ($6.50)[/caption] [caption id="attachment_33778" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Image Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]The wagyu beef was perfectly grilled to medium rare doneness and was still pink in the centre. If you’re like me and prefer meat to be cooked through, then you’re the exception rather than the norm.
Finally, the Iberico Lor Bah Bowl ($6.50).
[caption id="attachment_33774" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Iberico Lor Bah Bowl ($6.50)[/caption] [caption id="attachment_33775" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Look at the fattiness of the Iberico pork[/caption] [caption id="attachment_33779" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Image Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]Premium Iberico pork is slow-braised for 48 hours to create this sinful dish. The resulting braising liquid better known as Lor, is sweet with a tinge of bitterness that doesn’t overshadow the Iberico pork and isn’t jelak either.
The Iberico pork lives up to its name with a perfect balance of fat to lean meat ratio and is so tender that it barely holds its shape when held with chopsticks.
While the stars of the rice bowls are the proteins, the sides are not neglected either. The vegetables and sides are rotated daily and they serve to complement the proteins, so the rice bowls don’t end up becoming jelak.
The charred sweet corn is a mainstay in the rice bowls and are so good that customers have ordered just the corn alone. Yes, you can do that for just $1.
Their Buona Vista outlet only offers these 3 bestsellers.
The outlet at Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre has a more extensive menu, with a vegetarian Deep Fried Tofu Bowl ($5.50) and 2 seafood options in the Griddled Prawn Bowl ($6.50) that comes in 2 types of sauces.
It’s hard to find a hawker that offers rice bowls made with premium ingredients, and at the price that Tasty Street offers, no less.
While Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre might be at the opposite end of the island for me, I would gladly head back to Tasty Street just for another taste of their addictive rice bowls.
I cannot wait to see what other creations they might come up with in future.

This Joint Fuses Local Flavours Into Pizza And It’s DePizza We Need
Pizza is one of our favourite comfort foods. From standard pizzas, to Korean-style Chicago deep-dish pizzas, to dessert pizzas, it’s hard to top the flavours and styles we have.
However, DePizza bravely steps into the arena, armed with their own unique pizza flavours.
Asian Flavours Meets Italian Classic
DePizza, located along Boat Quay, is a newly-opened pizza joint serving up an array of interestingly Asian pizza flavours among the classics.
[caption id="attachment_33712" align="aligncenter" width="813"] Image Credit: DePizza[/caption]Their Nasi Lemak Pizza ($24) is made with coconut cream-infused dough, slathered with their homemade sambal paste, topped with chicken, fried egg, cucumbers, cheese and ikan bilis!
[caption id="attachment_33714" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burpple User Xin Min[/caption]The only components missing from this Nasi Lemak adaptation, are the rice and peanuts. But we’re not complaining. We’d take this pizza over McDonald’s Nasi Lemak burger ANY DAY.
Another interesting concoction is the GLY Pizza ($22). In case you’re wondering, GLY stands for Gu Lou Yok, aka Sweet and Sour Pork.
[caption id="attachment_33713" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burpple User Ang Yun Xuan[/caption]Yes, this is a Sweet and Sour pork pizza. Generous chunks of pork, pineapples, peppers and onions, sit atop a bed of cheese and sweet and sour sauce. This is sin.
This is our favourite, the Chilli Crab Manzza ($26). We’ll get to its name in a bit.
[caption id="attachment_33715" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burpple User Dex Neo[/caption]This Manzza is generously slathered in chilli crab sauce and topped with onions, cheese and REAL crab meat. Not those cheap sticks of artificial crab. Also, it’s called a Manzza because of its Mantou crust.
Absolute genius. What else could possibly pair better with chilli crab besides mantou?
If you don’t fancy any of their local-inspired flavours, they also offer classic pizza flavours such as Pepperoni, Four Cheese, and Hawaiian.
For those of you who are looking for sides, DePizza has mussels with white wine and fresh herbs, named “These Mussels” ($20 for 500g, $38 for 1kg) and the Fat Die Fries ($14) which is their version of Poutine fries.
[caption id="attachment_33716" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burpple User Ang Chong Kiat[/caption]You can choose to top up $3 to add ground beef or sausage topping to your “beef sauce and melted cheese-loaded” Fat Die Fries.
If no-frills, good pizza is what you’re searching for, head to DePizza to get your fix. No regrets.
