The seafood laksa was pretty tasty and was loaded with lots of goodies. Plump-sized prawns, coils of calamari, reasonably thick slices of fishcake, crunchy snake beans and big puffy fried cubes of tofu. Slurp-worthy noodles.
I'm not usually a fan of beef rendang... it just seems so boring when there's laksa, char hor fun and nasi lemak on the menu. So I was having an off day when I ordered the rendang. While it was nice, as far as rendangs go, I didn't finish it. It was a generous serve with lots of tender chunks of beef (which wasn't gristly - a very good thing). The gravy was really rich and creamy. The condiments were rather 'meh' - the pickled veg and toasted nuts weren't too memorable.
Verdict
We liked it.Overall
I'd go back for the seafood laksa and would like to try a few more of the menu items.Find it at
