Lok Lok Eating House@Tiong Bahru

Demona: We met my best friend, Ann at Tiong Bahru Complex. Our initial plan was to venture to the Tiong Bahru Market for dinner, but we found out that it would take us a good 20 minutes walk there and at the same time, it started to drizzle.



Demona: Ann brought us across the road to this restaurant, Lok Lok Eating House. Her sister had already eaten here a couple of times here and gave her positive reviews on their food. Since nothing else seemed interesting, we decided to settle down at this shop.



Demona: Dogma ordered a plate of spicy chilli squid for the 3 of us. SGD 10. The sauce was salty and extremely spicy! I thought the squid was a little over cooked though, due to its shrunk size and rubbery texture. This dish was average to me. Dogma was perspiring like crazy after a few spoonfuls of spicy chilli squid. He raised the white flag half way through and the CHILLI GOBBLER happily wiped the plate clean.



Demona: We also ordered a plate of fried pork ribs. SGD 8. I did not think this was a good style of cooking. Chicken pieces would probably fit this style of cooking more than pork ribs. The meat was too little and tough for this kind of frying. The bones were present more than the meat.



Demona: Guilty of wiping it clean.



Demona: Dogma however, enjoyed the pork ribs, getting his fingers all messy, chewing bits of meat on the ribs from one end to the other, like munching steamed sweet corn. The pict showed what was left of the ribs.

Verdict: The meal cost us SGD 18. Binjai Park is definitely a better place for chinese food, as I am willing to add in a few more dollars for more fairly generous portion of delicious dishes rather than just 2. At least, the dinner would feel more satisfyingly complete.
