My colleague told me that there is an amazing place to get laksa, and I was surprised when we pulled up to a Buddhist temple (also - where did this beautiful temple come from?! So random!)! We went in, and found that we had to pay a $30 membership fee for the tea house... unusual to say the least, but because my colleague had been there before, the receptionist waived the fee for this time around and let us go in. Whew!
We ordered some almond tea and laksa noodles, and they were AMAZING. Wow. Perfect for a cold winter day. The noodles also came out super quickly - probably a minute after we sat down. The tea was perfect - not too sweet, a great almond aroma and slightly milky.
Based on the other items on the menu and how good the food was, I'm entertaining the membership.....
