My my my…

This place (2.309644, 111.846415)…

…is among the shops in the Lot 9 area, across the road (Jalan Pedada) from Delta Mall at the location where this Thai restaurant was sometime ago and later, this place that has since moved elsewhere. It just opened not too long ago and it is pretty near my house except that it is on the other side of the road so to get there, I would need to make a big detour and that was why it took me quite a while to drop by and check it out.

Well, it is a little more than the regular coffee shop…

I did not notice those air conditioners when I was there and I wonder how they may be put to good use when the place is so open.

Decor is minimal, comprising some nice posters on the wall…

…and oopsss!!! “Gratetful“?

The menu…

…is on the wall as well, right above the cashier’s counter where you will have to go and place your orders. The prices are indeed quite shocking, to say the least – the seafood one that is blocked by the reflection will set you back by a whooping RM29.90 but the girl did say that there are a whole lot of things in the bowl – prawns, mussels and all.

No, I could not get myself to part with that kind of money so I settled for the signature (RM21.90)…

…and of course, I was rather disappointed when I was served despite the presence of those three gigantic prawns…

…that, of course, do not come cheap but other than those, there wasn’t much else to get excited about other than the chicken, sliced not shredded like in the regular Sarawak or Kuching laksa, and the thinly-sliced omelette.

My missus had the prawn (RM9.90)…

…which sure looked a lot nicer and was not that expensive…and if it’s prawns you want, then it’s prawns that you will get, 7 altogether…

…but medium-sized ones, not as big as the three in my bowl.

The instant we stepped into the place, I could detect the very nice fragrance of the laksa but unfortunately, I do not know what else went into the cooking of the broth for even though the hint of it was there, it did not taste quite the same as the usual. Ah well!!! I guess as the name implies this is MY laksa, not Sarawak or Kuching laksa so like the one here, by virtue of the name, they may reserve the right to be…different.

I wonder what the “Normal” is like – probably like my missus’ prawn version…

…but with not so many of the crustaceans and a bit of chicken and at RM9.90, I would think that is quite all right, compared to the one I had.

Mineral water was RM2.00 a bottle, Spritzer no less, and drinking water was 50 sen a glass. Service was prompt (well, there were not that many people when we went) and pleasant…and their opening hours are from 7.00 a.m. until 2.00 pm. except Wednesdays. However, for a total of RM34.30 and considering that the taste was not quite there, I would much sooner go for my favourites in town here (RM7.00 for the LARGE, the last time I had it there) and also, here (RM5.00) and fork out a lot less for something that I am more likely to enjoy more.
