A friend recommended this place to me so I visited Lokkee with my mum! Though some of the items seemed slightly gimmicky, I’m all for fusion food 🙌🏻 Also, the menu and illustrations are so cute/funky haha. The whole concept of this place is really creative!
We ordered the mala grilled barramundi (half), firecracker chicken nest, and honey pecan shrimp. Though the shrimp was nothing spectacular, the grilled barramundi was really good! It was nicely grilled and slightly crispy on the outside, and the fish meat was tender and soaked up the flavourful mala soup. It wasn’t too spicy as well so we could still taste the flavour of the fish :)
My fav, though, was the firecracker chicken nest! 辣子鸡 is so addictive, kinda tasted like popcorn chicken but upgraded version 😛 It looks very spicy but it isn’t, I felt that the kick was just nice. I love the mango puree at the side too - it’s one of those combinations that sounds weird but actually tastes pretty good!
The service here was impeccable as well. There was a minor mishap and they were quick to fix it and even gave my mum and I free desserts (pineapple sorbet with lemongrass jelly) as service recovery, although we were not angry about it at all. The sorbet turned out to be really refreshing and ended the meal on a great note. Worth a visit I’d say!
