after 101 months of saying i want to go laksa king to try their laksa, now i'm finally making my way to flemington to try. it's not very far from the city, not near either. about 15 minutes by train. like what i've said previously, i wanted to make use of the free public transport day so i went to flemington. coincidently, it was laksa king's opening day. they moved to the other side. larger shop i assume? anyway that is not the main point. the queue was so friggin long, that we waited for an hour. one hour for a table for three. madness! if i know i were to wait for that long i wouldn't even go there. so food... you better be good.
so i ordered the entree. papaya salad, loh bak, popiah and currypuff. i never know that papaya salad is malaysian food, either that or it's just me. loh bak is not very good. the taste is just.. too far from what a loh bak is supposed to be. popiah was alright, so is the currypuff... but
jerine's ikea currypuff is still the best! :D
the vegetarian curry noodle. errrr... too much of santan coconut milk lar. feels as though i'm drinking santan and not the curry. so it's not as good as expected..
asam laksa, my favourite. ok lar... not bad. the soup was alright, correct combination of ingredients.. but hellooooo the look is not the most important. it's not even the asam laksa lai fun to begin with. salah noodle!
the colour of the noodle differs from the
normal laksa noodle. not quite obvious from pictures... more obvious in real. the old town kopitiam at little bourke serves better laksa actually. personal preference..
i'm assuming that it was their first day plus too many people coming in so the quality of their food wasn't as good as expected. i should go one more time, during the day to avoid the traffic. one more try and if it's not THAT good, might as well i go to the restaurants in the city which serves better quality of food rather than wasting my time travelling. did i not mention, it took them 30 minutes to serve what we ordered. what a waste of my time waiting. *shakes head*
