Full disclaimer: I've had Laksa only a few times in my life, one of them being across the street at Malaymama. I'm no expert and I call it like I see it. Feel free to ignore my review if you want to know whether this is authentic.I got the Laksa supreme or whatever that comes with everything in it. My stomach wasn't feeling particularly well, so I'm going to have to say that maybe my dislike for the soup wasn't entirely the soup's fault. But I think it was partly to blame.

I got the Laksa supreme or whatever that comes with everything in it. My stomach wasn't feeling particularly well, so I'm going to have to say that maybe my dislike for the soup wasn't entirely the soup's fault. But I think it was partly to blame. The things I didn't like: the broth had only a hint of spiciness. It tasted, I thought, just like milk. Not even a curry flavor. The chicken was tough and stringy. Really had no point being there. I came about an hour and a half after the lunch rush, so maybe it had just been simmering way too long? The fish cakes were rubbery. And I'm sure the shrimp in their shells with their heads on is authentic, but how does one eat that? The shells were very tough. I found the noodles slippery and flavorless.
The things I did like: the shrimp beneath the shells was fine, the cockles were bold and tender, and the fried tofu was the right mix of porous and firm. If only the broth it were sopping had more flavor.
Reading the reviews on balance, they seem to favor this over Malaymama. I'm of the exact opposite opinion, but as I said, I'm no expert. I will say that having read all the (English) reviews of both restaurants, everyone seems to agree that getting anything but the laksa at either of these places is not worth your time. So consider that if you're coming.
