The food was good, so were the sauces and its all at $1 per stick!! However, they didn’t have much variety and they didn’t have the option to boil the food. Would be better if they could improve on that but until then, I doubt I’ll be revisiting!
Food: 3.5/5
Service: 3/5
Ambience: 3/5 (Its at a coffeeshop)
I was drawn to this place thanks to mothership.sg’s publicity, because the Lok Lok food truck in Johor Bahru (yes, those with those loud techno music playing at the background) was usually a mandatory pitstop for me for supper before heading back to Singapore. Now, with this stall’s opening at a Ang Mo Kio coffee shop, did that mean that I would not have to go to JB for this anymore?
Business was brisk over here, possibly because the owners were still selling each skewer at an introductory price of S$1.00. However, I was not expecting a waiting time of 30 minutes or so, so my bag of drink was almost finished before the food could come. Guess that somehow also revved up the expectation by a bit, as other tables were supplementing their Mookata and Zi Char with this.
To be honest, I really liked the broccoli because they tasted just like how most Lok Lok stalls in JB would have cooked them. However, I was really hoping that he other items could taste as exciting as the only green vegetables that was available for ordering today. The heat of the oil might also not be hot enough to cook the items fast and to ensure that the cheese in the tofu could at least reach the molten stage.
While it might be impossible to prepare 60-over items like how those food trucks had amazingly presented to us hungry foodies, I somehow left wondering if the other skewers could have tasted as addictive as those from the opposite shore. To conclude, for now I would think that this stall would serve the nearby residents acceptably, but nothing would beat the real deal that could only be accessed with a valid passport.
