[Singmalay Part 8] King Laksa 喇沙王

[Singmalay Part 8]
Of all laksas I have had, I am still a loyal fan of Katong and I have yet to try Malaymama.

The only thing unique with the laksa here, is that you can choose silver pin noodles.
The Laksa was not spicy at all, and the soup was thin, the oysters were added when served.

The satays with yellow ginger rice turned out to be the star of lunch.
Although slightly over on the sweet side, but it was very delicious.
The rice, known as ginger rice, was a bit bland.

The satays were ok, only the beef and chicken was good, the pork had bits of fat on it.
The octopus was chewy and tasteless, but tasted good together with the beef satay.

All their chopsticks were black, however there was a pair of light blue chopsticks on our table which I liked.

As for the environment, it was so hot and unairconditioned, a total glutton for punishment eating there on a hot day, I was wearing hot pants and vest top and I was fuming from inside out!

As mentioned in my earlier review, I would revisit this place to try either the Laksa or the Buk Ku Teh.
So this time I tried the Laksa, just to compare it with the other places that I had it.

For a bowl of Laksa, it was priced at $60, which is the average Laksa price in Hong Kong for a seafood one.
As shown in the picture, the seafood were the frozen ones as expected with no taste, boiled and placed on top of the noodles when served.

The prawns were conveniently peeled but it didn’t have any prawn taste.

Anyway the laksa tasted better than I expected, the soup was much stronger, it was thick and full bodied, creamy, but not too strong of coconut.
The noodles were the thick white ones like spaghetti, they were soft and flavoured from the soup.
The tofu was slightly harder and chewier than preferred, the soup was not spicy at all, so anyone who cannot eat spicy laksa, can try it here.
=============
For dessert I had coconut banana fritters, the batter was just right, light and crispy, inside with pureed banana, and topped with lots of desiccated coconut. The sweetness was acceptable.
Quite a good dessert too.

Usually I satisfy my Laksa cravings on the Hong Kong side, but after finding out there is one in MK, I decided to give it a try.

Looking at the menu, I felt like I had seen it before, one of the staff looked familiar too, then after asking him about it, it turns out that he was the guy from "YEOH'S BAH KUT TEH" in Jordan.

Ordered the Pork rib tea and seafood laksa, price wise, it is all cheaper than the ones in Wanchai, ie Pasar and Katong.

The laksa soup here is rather bland, nothing like the strong ones in Wanchai, just like the previous review by Kwokmauyan.

The Bak Kut Teh (pork rib tea), tasted ok, not strong in herbs, and contained a lot of fatty meats.

Also the barley water I ordered way MEGA sweet, I even poured a third of it into a glass of warm water, and still it was so sweet.
