entering this restaurant, i didn't receive the best impression at first. the waitress stoically explained the menu and what things were in the laksa noodle i was eyeing. given it was the weekend, i can forgive the waitress's apathy. personally i felt that this particular waitress warmed up to other customers better.
the food was delivered by the chef, and she was all smiles. i could feel that the chef was proud of her dish as she delivered it, and boy did i have a blast with it all.
any sort offriedpancake is a favourite of mine, and i couldn't resist ordering thefriedspring onion pancake as my entree and it lived up to expectations. crispy and soft in all the right places and it being delicious.
the seafood laksa was definitely a treat, beautiful combination of tofu, prawns, and what i believe were crab meat, andfriedsquid. the soup itself gave you this pleasant, warm feeling. the cherry on top of this dish was it was presented beautifully, all the ingredients were neatly organised, and just looking at this dish is enough to full someone into thinking they're eating at a top end asian restaurant. while i was eating the soup, i had forgotten that the laksa came with noodles and was surprised to see them, and they went so well with the laksa. the portions are what i consider to be generous, especially since the ingredients and components of this laksa are high quality. it really does show that this place is excellent value for money.
i loved this place so much that i went back and decided how it would fare for their takeaway orders. i didn't have the laksa this time but i did have the bbq pork with rice andfriedegg. i wasn't disappointed and this particular dish, was very homey. the person that happened to serve me today appeared to be nicer than the one before or seemed to have less of a bad day.
this place exceeded all expectations i had. what i love about this restaurant is that it's food done authentically, and humbly, and done right. an absolute pleasure to eat, and i look forward to coming back. so far it is by far one of the best eateries in mawson lakes (which isn't saying much, but this one is really good).
