Oh well. If you want a fishy laksa (I always think of laksa lemak as shrimpy rather than fishy), then you've got to try an asam laksa - there are quite a few different types of laksa around.Su-Linhttp://tamarindandthyme.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488444600218615887.post-54149306844886214692010-05-04T11:10:46.905+01:002010-05-04T11:10:46.905+01:00@Mr Noodles - I definitely need to try more stuff ...@Mr Noodles - I definitely need to try more stuff on that menu - nasi lemak and the oyster omelette being on my hitlist for sure.

I like the place but like you found the laksa to be a bit insipid on my last visit. You're spot on in that it missed the visceral fishy and spicy punch associated with the best laksa.<br /><br />PS: Can't believe other peeps didn't dive in for the fishballs.

No Laksa, no noodles, I really missed out somewhere along the line. Looks like this might give me a chance to recitify that. <br /><br />I really like the look of the starters and sauces, the Kueh Pai Tee in particular. The crab looked magnificent too. <br /><br />Was there much in the way of Nyonya food there (I'm not sure whether Laksa is Nyonya or not?), it;s a style of cooking I have heard much about, but never really tried.The Grubwormhttp://www.thegrubworm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488444600218615887.post-87672543098649912392010-05-04T08:29:04.999+01:002010-05-04T08:29:04.999+01:00There are only 2 authentic Malay dishes that was e...There are only 2 authentic Malay dishes that was eaten. One is Chendol and the other is the Satay. The origins of the Chendol might not even be Malay in some food debates.<br /><br />The rest of the food you had are Nyonya dishes. The Nyonya are descendants of the Chinese that come to the Malay archipelago with Admiral Cheng Ho and Princess Hang Li Po that married local Malays, practising a mixture or Malays-Chinese customs until today. One of the legacy of this culture is their yummy food. <br /><br />Notice the chilies that goes along with every dish? This is one of the distinct features or Nyonya cuisine :)Dangerous Variablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14693205514452308131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488444600218615887.post-87019803870490153312010-05-04T00:31:53.077+01:002010-05-04T00:31:53.077+01:00Great post
