| - I'm not very familiar with Singaporean/Malaysian food so when I found myself in the Asian food Mecca that is the Pacific Mall food court I naturally gravitated towards this place to begin my Singaporean food education.
This place has a few items on their menu as well as a small selection of house made sausages and jerky. I was in need of a proper meal, being a fan of spice I opted for the Laksa (6.20 plus tax). After checking in on my yelp app I discovered that they have a check in offer of 3 mini sausages with any purchase over $6.20. I showed the offer to the young man behind the counter, after a confused look he took my phone to the kitchen, returned shortly and placed the 3 mini sausages in a cup for me. Free food makes me happy :-).
The laksa came in a decent sized bowl filled with noodles, shrimp, crab, fried tofu, fish balls and mini scallops. This was a fairly generous portion for the $6.20 price tag. The broth was very creamy from the coconut milk but not too heavy, it had a bit of a kick but was not spicy enough for me, luckily there was a delicious hot sauce served on the side that provided some extra heat. My only complaint with the broth was that is was a little bit too oily. The seafood all tasted like it was frozen, the noodles were probably pre made and the fried tofu was nice especially since it soaked up some of the broth. There was some veggies in the soup as well which provided a nice crunch factor. Overall for $7 tax in I cannot really complain about this dish, it provided a quick and decent lunch. The mini sausages were actually quite good, the skin had a nice snap to it and they were a little bit sweet and spicy, I enjoyed the contrasting flavours. They usually charge $2 for 3 sausages which is well worth it if you find yourself wanting a snack. My meal also came with a cup of limewater which was a refreshing way to cleanse my pallet. Next time I will try their selection of jerky and maybe venture in to the world of Hainanese chicken rice (as per David L's recommendation).
