Lok-lok on wheels

(Left) Lok-lok is dipped into hot boiling water for it to be cooked before it can be eaten with a variety of sauces.

LOK-Lok, a popular street food that is usually available only after the sun goes down, can be found in major cities and towns in west-coast states.

Lok-lok, which means “to dip”, was introduced by Chinese immigrants in the late 1800s, with hawkers commonly peddling it via push carts.
