6. Foong Jie Lok Lok – Taman Segar
Next up, we have Foong Jie Lok Lok at Taman Segar which has been a crowd favourite for some time for its taste and reasonable pricing. This elusive stall has been operating since 1967 and is only open for 3 days a week due to unbeknownst reasons which makes the anticipation that much sweeter.
On top of the regular meat, pandan chicken, marinated octopus and gravies, this food truck also has an ancestral secret sauce. This sauce’s recipe has been passed down for generations which probably explains the stall’s elusiveness. Patrons of the store praised its taste quality which has remained the same for years. However, what has not been the same is the price and a Google review revealed that the lok lok is now considered to be on the pricier side and you can expect to spend at least RM20 to RM40 per pax.

The restaurant’s ambience is commendable, with a cleaner and more spacious environment compared to others. This contributes to a comfortable and pleasant dining atmosphere.
