As many have said previously, the laksa broth is so slurp-worthy that I literally wiped clean the entire bowl within minutes, something that George himself noticed and commented that I must be very hungry. The outstanding thing about this bowl of laksa has got to be the gravy, which as you stir, you will notice grounded shrimp bits in it and every spoonful is just an umami burst of seafood flavour. What’s different from others is that the rest of the pack tends to go heavy on the coconut cream/milk that they add into the broth to thicken it but George manages to get the magical amount to make sure that the broth does get make you feel surfeited and yet the santan gives it a nice consistency to the overall texture with a fragrant aroma.
There are 3 different size options ($4.50/$5/6) and this bowl is the $5 portion which comes with a reasonable amount of thick bee hoon, some bean sprouts, fish cake and a generous amount of prawns which might be because I opted for no cockles in my laksa. George himself also jokingly mentioned to other customers in the queue that for the $5 and $6 options, you can either choose more noodles or more ingredients. Huge thanks to Alan from @malaccamakanking for recommending me this place and the pro tip is to give George a call before heading down as his laksa sells out very quickly.
