Best Curry Laksa in Johor Bahru and it comes with very fresh cockles which are rare to find nowadays. Personally, I especially love the dry noodles (black soya sauce) with laksa soup. Heavenly.
This business is operated by a family, led by their mother and a few good looking grown-up children (I assume). Handsome son and pretty daughters btw. Also with the help of a few foreign helpers, who are well-trained and friendly.
For those who think the price is costly please re-think again. This is one of the best local delights, fresh, instant made and it is still cheaper than food sold in those franchise, chain of fast food restaurants. Very affordable and reasonable I would say.
As a regular customer, I can see this place is always overcrowded, and the customers who patronize here are the general public from different classes of society.
Note to share: Southern part of Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore call this as Laksa. In Northern Peninsular Malaysia such as Perak, Penang, Kedah, we call this as Curry Laksa, whereas Laksa merely means...
Read moreI was looking for a breakfast place on my last trip to JB and decided to give this place a try as it is listed as best laksa in JB.
If this is the best JB has to offer then I pity you JB folks. It is at best, average. Most kopitiams in KL serves better Curry Mee.
There is actually a sign in front of the shop that indicates where patrons can queue up although there was no queue on that morning.
Menu selection is extremely limited but that is not an issue. Prices are expensive but I kinda expected that because Singaporeans basically ruined everything. If you do decide to eat here, I would like to caution you though. When you order curry mee, they will ask if you want kerang. It is not just a choice. If you say yes, there is an additional RM4 charge!
The curry broth is watery and uninspiring. For what I paid, the serving is rather pathetic. I also ordered a side order of otak2. I couldn't taste any fish in it. Avoid it. Heck, avoid the...
Read moreThis laksa place has been around since the early 80's hence you might say it has moved to the third/fourth generation people in charge. The signature Water Works Laksa does not disappoint but somehow the gravy has diluted a bit. People like the laksa leaf added to it as it brings about fragrances and tastes which uplifts the otherwise mediocre profile of laksa. The laksa is best eaten with large beehoon noodles (they call it coarse meehoon). Adding cockles makes the soup tasty but be prepared to pay more. A decade back they added otak-otak (separately ordered and charged) to complement their offering. It's ok, just dont compare with the classic ones from Muar. Overall, the place is clean and pleasant to have your craving satisfied. The place closes every Wednesday. Course beehoon runs out by noon and the laksa runs out after 2pm, leaving you with plain soup...
