The Asam Laksa was awesome too. Although this dish I decided to go for SMALL, the portion was generous as well. The sardines, at most eateries, I’d usually get only one chunk but here is got three, large pieces. Now that, I liked very much. It makes all the difference, you know? Yea yea, I am tad cuckoo when it comes to them sardines. Then, there was the laksa noodles + cracker/keropok + lettuce + shrimp paste + onions + pineapples. A satisfying dish it was. It embodied and fulfilled all the elements of an asam laksa.
Besides curry noodles and assam laksa, they also offer Tom Yum Noodles, Fish Ball Noodles and Jawa Mee. The curry noodles here is definitely my preferred choice over the assam laksa. This curry mee can give our favourite curry laksa a run for its money although it didn't knock it off its top spot in our books. Plus the price for such a fully loaded bowl makes it really cheap. Make sure you order their two side snacks of Penang Lobak and Penang Otak-Otak as they're equally yum. If you can't make it here, they've opened a stall in Makan-Makan by Parkson (on Level 3, Sunway Velocity Mall) since February 2017 under the name of Homey Curry Laksa (now that's a name I can understand). They strive to give you the homemade taste (like your mom or grandma makes or use to make) in their curry mee, hence the name Jia Li Mian or Homey Curry Laksa. Did they deliver? For me, they did.
Prawn Soyabean Pudding – similar to “cawan mushi”, this delicate savoury pudding was good to the last spoonful!
I'd highly recommend this place for its ambiance, but do note though, this place has no air conditioning, so we left the place with sweaty face and sticky skin. haha! The food, was really mediocre and don't justify for the price tag.
Nyonya Fried Rice, 7.90 ringgit. This dish came recommended. Upon tasting it, I now know why. It is kind of hard to describe how tasty the fried rice was, words just could not do it any justice. The rice may look simple but boy did it taste really good. Good in a way that it sure did leave a lasting impression on my mind. This totally beats fried rice served at most of the mamak and indian resturants. You’s get a mix of everything – beans, chicken, prawns, carrots, in generous servings. Literally every mouth you’d take, some either a chicken in it or a prawn. It was a lil spicy but addictive. That is all I have to say. Do give this a try, really worth it. I just hope the same chef that cooked my dish, cooks yours as well, lol.
Nasi Kukus Ayam Percik, 12.90 ringgit. The chicken looks like a scorpion, no? Lol. That was my first thought. Anyways, This dish was pretty simple. What you’d get is white rice + chicken thigh with percik sauce + chili paste + cucumber + gravy. This too was delicious. Again, the chicken was da bomb, meaty and crunchy with thick, spicy, flavorful. Having all that with some rice and chilli – da bomb. Loved it.
