Love how you have politicized eating, as if all Westerners sit around a table with their own food and don’t talk to anyone.
And anyway, you describe a method where everyone INDIVIDUALLY cooks their own food. Hardly a collective affair!

[...] Lok Lok – choose anything you want from the stall, then proceed to a hot pot of boiling water, dump the sticks of food inside, wait and eat with delicious sauces [...]

Michael - Thanks for your suggestion. Yep, I totally agree. They should really set up Lok-Lok tables for the patrons. It would be nice!

Chubbypanda - I can't agree more with you regarding hot oden withe beer (or sake!). Have you been to Honda-Ya in Tustin? They have great Oden. :)

Lucia - wow, I will have to try them out. I love Lok-Lok, steamboat, Shabu Shabu, etc. where I can cook my own food. It's just so much fun.

Talking about traditional steamboat, I still think Goh Huat Seng is the best, with the old Chinese-style copper (?) hot pot.

similiar to lok-lok of course is the steamboat dinner/lunch, where the dishes were not on skewered pieces but on plates. nowadays in penang, many steamboat restaurants are mushrooming e.g. the one in krian road’s 8th row (think the name is jolly or something liek that), burmah square and one somewhere opposite USM (sg dua side) is very popular with youngsters. oh yeah, this steamboat restaurants also offer barbecue – that is you can choose to cook the dishes over steamboat or barbecue.

Mmm… It’s almost hot pot season! For me, that means dinners of Chinese hot pot, shabu shabu, lok lok, and, my personal favorite, hot oden with cold beer. I love winter. I miss the cold of the North.

The lok-lok stall situated opposite the Macalister Rd – New Lane junction is quite good as well.
