My score 3.5 stars (avge of many visits). J and I had lunch here on Mon 16th Mar and it was basically empty. Service very good and helpful.
We shared:Whiting fillets w red mayo ($7.80 entrée) – Delicate and clean battered fillets with a nice cabbage salad base. Red mayo was nice but pretty sweet.
Veg and tofu with rice ($10.80 lunch serve) – Nice garlicky gravy, lightly cooked al dente veg and soft tofu puffs. Large rice, but not a huge serve of veg or tofu.
Assam prawns with rice ($13.80 lunch serve) – Nice sized prawns, red onion, tomato, a little pineapple, green beans and okra. Plenty of sour sauce with a touch of chilli heat (I would have liked even hotter, but J thought it was about right).
Oct 2018. Vego Laksa - Is always good, more eggplant than Laksa King next door (and its cheaper), however LK's has a better, spicier broth and more Tofu.
Spicy Chilli Crispy duck on rice - It was crispy and spicy, but also VERY sweet - no mention of that in the description! Plenty of rice, 3 bits of broccoli and generous boneless duck - it was ok, but wouldn't have again because of the sweetness.
Other visits - Free tea is nice, place always seems noisy whether busy or not. Nasi Lemak w chicken - Is less generous than LK, but bigger than MY Tofu's (around corner) - one of my fav bits of Nasi L is the Sambal anchovies, but CL's are the "fishiest" and least crispy I've ever had, so not to my taste.
Fried KT - Smaller than LK's, but nicer, spicier and less oily.
Great Customer Service. Hectic laksa
Heard so much about this place from friends and finally went last Sunday! I usually have high standards on Malaysian food / Asian food and happy to report that Chef Lagenda meets all my standards! I had the fish fillet soup noodles and A had the wok fried flat noodles in egg gravy (?!?) i.e. Wa Tan Hor 😂. Portions are HUGE (and by huge I mean HUGE) A is a big eater but even then he acknowledged that the serving size is bigger than your usual Asian restaurants.
🍰 Fish Fillet Noodle Soup was everything you’d expect it to be - salty, creamy, full of umami from the fish broth and they were generous in the fish fillets!
🍰 Flat Noodles in Egg Gravy was so good too. The fried noodles had the wok flavour that it a telltale sign that it’s a good one.
And what’s SpaceforCakes if she doesn’t have a room for dessert? We shared a sago pudding and omg guys. It’s SO DAMN GOOD.
If you’re thinking whether or not to get it, GET IT.
Definitely will be back again!
PS: friends highly recommend their curry laksa too!
