Walaku (Joo Chiat)

Mangolicious @ $9.80+

Was a bit surprised to see the mango slice on the side. Overall a nice drink especially on a hot day.

Lemak chilli api crab pasta @ $16+

Overall this seems a bit ordinary but still tasty and not bad. Soft shell crab a bit on the salty side. Comes with prawns and some sotong.

Smoked duck laksa @ $12+

Fusion laksa that contains usual laksa broth + linguine pasta + smoked duck. The broth is flavourful and creamy, while the pasta is nicely cooked. However we felt that the smoked duck didn't quite value-add to the dish.

Also comes with taupok, cucumbers, taugay and egg.

Star of the dish is the chilli which is spicy and sweet and brings the broth to a whole new level.

From Walaku
The signature Nasi Lemak Bakar: soft shell crab
Loved the coconut rice which is grilled with banana leaf.
Crunchy sliced cucumber, peanuts and crispy anchovies.
Of course the chilli paste really combines all these together nicely.
Yummy!

From Walaku
Indulged into this bowl of green chewy pearl sago with longan, served with chilled milk.
So add the sweet gula melaka and scoop it.
Not bad indeed!

Light, fluffy & flavourful fried rice with chopped long beans, spring onion, eggs & beansprouts in it. Sides with flavoursome grilled chicken topped with percik sauce & torch ginger bud. Comes with half a salted egg, mini mango salad & a small pack of colourful crispy keropok; then, a small dose of spicy sambal is added.😍
The taste of the fried rice somehow resembles the one I had on board the KTM train. The smell of it is so similar. Specking of train, I miss travelling on a train where you get to enjoy the forest and Kampung view, the small & cosy bed to sleep in and the extraordinary long hours of rockiness from the train.🚉😴
As for the chicken, it was well-marinated with spice, dry but tender, huge and grilled perfectly. Makes me eat till suck the bone.😅
The creamy coconutty percik sauce seems kind of little compared to their picture from their website.😕 The touch of torch ginger bud helps to heighten the flavour and open the appetite.
Mango salad was appetising, keropok given were quite a lot, the picture above is only like near to 1/2 a pack, and the sambal is lit.😋
