Combination Laksa

Today I was really in the mood for a Laksa and not wanting to disappoint myself I head off to find me a nice thick bowl of curry gravy and noodles. In order to keep a wide range of reviews up and running I decided to go to the local shopping centre and try one of the "food court Laksa's". I've been surprised in the past by some of these Laksa's and I'm sure I will be again …. Let's just hope that today is one of those days…


This is one of those places that has the light boxes with a picture of what the dish is suppose to look like. Sometimes this is a good thing and sometimes bad. Because if the dish doesn't look anything like the picture you are already disappointed… So going by the picture we should be up for a treat.

Now on ordering, I find that the laksa is $9.50... hmmm a bit expensive, but as long as it is full flavour and has everything I'm looking for, we shouldn't have problem. I don't mind paying for quality..

So the Laksa arrives, presented in a large porcelain bowl (already a step in the right direction… It just feels better than eating out of a polystyrene one) On first appearance I notice once again that there is not enough green for me…. All I ask for is a bit of bok choy or something of similar. It just adds a little colour!!! Other than that it appears to have all the essential ingredients Prawns, Chicken Tofu and noodles…

The chicken I found to be a bit dry - out of place in a very wet dish. The prawns although large and plentiful I found them to be a bit watery (obviously frozen) and lacking in flavour. The curry sauce started out alright but I soon found myself wishing that it had a little bit extra in it and I don't think it was just a lack of chill, it just didn't really grab my attention and hold it. So unfortunately I'm not going to give this a rave review and especially for the price……

Rating - 5 / 10
Verdict - If you like a mild laksa this is probably a good one for you but if it's a bit of kick you're looking for try another destination.
