| - When my sister and I found out there was a new place opening up that would serve Laksa (A noodle soup typically in a spicy broth served with shrimp and strands of eggs with some cilantro and bean sprouts and lemons or limes squeezed into it for that extra flavor since). Considering my sister has lived in Malaysia before and I have been there 5+ times and my mom makes her own Laksa which tastes very similar to the ones I order whenever I travel to Malaysia. However their Laksa here is very different. The Laksa we ordered here did not resemble any Laksa I have ever tasted which was a big letdown for my sister and a and huge disappointment for my mom considering she was born in Malaysia and has been to lots of different parts of Asia eating Laksa so she had high hopes. Instead, they used a broth that was very similar to Thai curry as it had a very strong coconut taste and used rice noodles which is uncommon but still one of the two noodle choices that traditional Laksa uses which is either rice noodle or vermicelli. If you're used to the traditional Malaysian Laksa and want to give this one a try I would give it chance. There's not much in it aside from rice noodles, a sweet coconut heavy flavored broth, slices of fish cake , and some bean sprouts. However, they do also have some other dishes that are worth trying.
Appetizers:
Shaking Chicken
- Almost like popcorn chicken as it is fried, crispy, and seasoned with salt and pepper.
Entrees:
Laksa
- Was told that it is Singaporean Laksa but tasted like Thai curry with an overwhelmingly amount of coconut milk with rice noodles, fish cake, bean sprouts and half an egg.
Fried Fish noodle soup
-nothing special, just fried fish fillets in a thick broth
Tempura Udon (for to-go)
-messed up our order and gave us pork belly buns. The pork belly buns were okay. The sauce seemed to overwhelm the taste of the pork belly as it is very sweet.
Overall, I would give this place a 3 out of 5 stars because they messed up our to-go order even though there was only a total of three tables and took a total of half an hour for our order to come out. The servers seemed new but I could see that they were trying and I hope that this place can improve on their service and not mess up orders as I see potential in this place considering the place is very clean and looks upscale, just needs to work on service.
NOTE: If you're a fan of shrimp crackers they come with every order!
