Sad that the laksa at Laksa Labo doesn't come with hum. But hear me out - they more than make up for it in flavour & variety of ingredients.
Of course, I was feeling boujee so I ordered the most expensive option - Seafood Laksa ($14.50 nett). It comes with 2 tiger prawns, 1 scallop, pacific clams, & the usual fish cake slices & tau pok.
They were out of pacific clams that day, so they replaced it with an extra prawn - making the total prawn count 3 😀 I love how their prawns are de-shelled (only the head is left on), making it fuss-free & easy to eat.
The soup is lemak, & quite thick in consistency. It has the right amount of spice, even with the dollop of chilli mixed in. I wasn’t crying or dying by the end of my meal - & yes, I finished the whole bowl of soup.
Despite the higher than average price point, I’d come back here again. I don’t eat laksa too often - so when I do, I want to make it worth my while. This was worth the splurge!
While this is an atas bowl of laksa - "expensive" with regards to usual offerings in hawker centers, you can get more affordable options here to your liking:
🔸 Premium Laksa ($9.50 nett)
🔸 Laksa ($6.50 nett)
I did add-on a Fried Beancurd Roll (+$1.50 nett), but it didn't do much for me. Wasn't bad, just that the main bowl of laksa kept me happy on its own.. So I'd probably skip this add-on the next time.
