Despite it being peak lunch hour, the service at Restoran Yew Swee was fast, and the waitresses were attentive.
YOU CAN ORDER MEN HOON KUIH WITH YOUR CURRY LAKSA. +++ Brownie points. :D A small bowl of laksa was definitely more than enough for me - look at how generous the toppings are! Fishball, fired tofu skin, tofu, cockles, bean sprout...simmering in a rich curry laksa broth with a strong hint of coconut milk. Simply divine. The laksa here is more towards the lemak-y side (read: rich in coconut milk!), I tend to steer clear from food that is rich in coconut milk but Yew Swee curry laksa is a huge exception!
Restoran Yew Swee has the top band of laksa, kway teow soup, lor mee, mee hoon kueh, and their oversized prawn cracker is very good too.

Laksa 叻沙 Rm 6 (S) 7 (M) 8 (L) Mrs Tea's current top choice for Laksa in Johor. Gravy is lemak (coconut milk rich), nice Laksa leaves sprinkled for aroma. Thick Bee Hoon 粗米粉 is of the thickness that we like (about yellow noodle size).

For many people, Yew Swee 友水 is the best curry laksa in Johor Bahru. For me, whenever I am asked to name the best laksa stalls in Johor Bahru, I always mentioned Yew Swee laksa as among the best.
