Road Side "Lok Lok"

To some foreigners of the country, this will be an awkward scene as there are people enjoying some "Lok Lok" at the road side under the hot sun. Lok Lok is a steamboat style eatery where one will dip the food (in the form of a-stick with sausage, clamps, meat, vege, etc.) into to the boiling soup and will eat them upon guessing that the food are cooked. There are also a choice of gravy either in favours of satay, sambal, chilly, ketchup etc. as the dressing.
I still remembered I used to enjoy these food while they are selling at RM0.20 per stick. The sticks also will be color coded to reflect the price of the stick. When I check today, the minimum price of the stick is RM0.60 which is 300% increase in price.
Althought the Lok Lok is great to taste, but one should avoid due to hygience reason. In addition, all the servings are high in cholesterol.
I will need to avoid seeing such road side Lok Lok as the doctor has adviced me for diet control of cholesterol
