When I was concluding hither inwards 2012 , Ah Kit 亚杰 was helping out at the stall together alongside but about other of Mr Kong's adopted sons. Ah Kit had since gone to move inwards China.

Mr Tan's laksa is equally proficient today equally it was when I start tasted it inwards 2012. There's a lot of proficient materials inwards that bowl for RM5.50.

There's fried fish balls , fried wanton , char siew slices , blood cockles , fried tofu pare together with fifty-fifty an authentic Hakka yong tau fu stuffed alongside minced pork.

The curry broth was heavy , total bodied. It is made alongside chicken together with anchovy stock , thicken alongside kokosnoot milk together with spices added to gain that creamy tasty broth. A chip of lime was what Mr Kong added to justify the "Thai" Laksa tag. The zesty lime does "lighten together with livened" the creamy broth a chip (but non much) 😄

The laksa broth is already quite robust but it gets but about other boost from this solid made sambal chili which Mr Kong makes everyday with lots of dried shrimps together with chili.

I also similar Mr Kong's Penang Hokkien mee - it's uncomplicated together with no frills , but it is delicious. It's equally proficient equally almost of the Hokkien mee that I convey tried inwards Penang (not comparison it alongside those alongside luxury add together ons like this one).

The lite soup is made past times boiling pork together with chicken bones alongside prawn heads together with shells. The layers of savouriness is balanced alongside a chip of saccharide together with spiced upwards alongside hot spices similar chili. I enjoyed this soup.

Two proficient size prawns , twosome of thin pork slices together with one-half an egg inwards the RM6 serving.

I appreciate it that Mr Kong fries his ain aromatic shallots (when many stalls convey already resorted to but buying bags of tasteless fried shallots from suppliers).

4-Star (out of 5). Fully loaded laksa at a pocket-size toll inwards a humble neighbourhood nutrient oculus off the beaten track. The authentic (i.e. no frills) Penang prawn mee is pretty proficient too.
Next fourth dimension that I am at Mr Kong's stall inwards Taman Serene , I volition endeavor laksa alongside egg noodles (I intend they volition larn good together).
