Mamak Dang had big shoes to fill after Tropical Delight vacated this original spot years ago.
I finally got to try their laksa on a spontaneous lunch date. I thought it would be packed at noon on a Friday but there was plenty of room. The ambience reminded me of a 90s style living room - the carpet is worn, the paint isn't new and neither are the tables and chairs.
I ordered the assorted laksa ($12) and it came out quick. I like that I can request the hotness level of my broth on a scale of 0 to 5; other places don't do this! I devoured the entire bowl however I couldn't help but miss Tropical Delight at the end of my meal. The broth, while good, didn't ring bells for me and the chopped lemon grass was annoying to eat.
The service was good. Our drinks were frequently refilled and our dishes were taken away quickly. I'd come back here again because it's close to my work but I left my heart with Tropical Delight.
