While Penang and Ipoh hawker food has been quite a staple in Klang Valley, what Sarawak has to offer has just recently enter a lot of street food lover’s radar. And when it comes to Sarawakian simple eats, none is more popular than a good old fashion bowl of Sarawak Laksa.
Update 18/9/2018: Moved to new location at Tin Ha Kopitiam
Update 2/4/2019: Moved to the shop opposite called I-Tea House
Restaurant NZX Food Court, at Ara Damansara
One of the latest places to offer a good bowl is the newly revived NZX at Ara Damansara. NZX, or Niuzexui, was once the latest and hippest commercial area in PJ when it first opened several years ago. There were Starbucks, Big Apple donuts (when it was at its peak), and many more. I mean, it had semi-outdoor air conditioning, the place was great.
The biggest issue around NZX though, was access roads. You had to go through a dodgy and often congested tunnel under NKVE to get there via Taman Emas in PJ.
The access has been sorted out since, and there’s even the Lembah Subang LRT station just a stone’s throw away, so it was prime that NZX is experiencing a bit of a revival of late.
proper Sarawak Laksa, with decent size prawns too
Anyway, back onto the laksa Sarawak.
I was first notified about this place by one of the people who now manages the area, and after Anna Wong (a proper Sarawakian) gave her approval of this stall, I knew I had to give it a try.
And true to what the Sarawakian girl said, the laksa here was proper (at least to me). The soup was on point, and ingredients were rather generous. I also like the fact that they do not skimp on those prawns. It was quite a treat.
Penang char kuih teow here is decent as well
Oh, there are other stalls at this kopitiam as well. The char kuih teow I had on my first visit when the Sarawak stall sold out was pretty decent as well. I still need to try their kuih chap and other dishes.
wahh…. everyday…. uncle KY received hundreds of invites to do food reviews #freefood4life #foodpr0n
kekeke: hahaha it’s more “suggestions” to eat than invite also! 😀
KY, finding the right food to eat is not easy since I do not kown places well. But I am big fan of noodle dishes.
And since after CB Trump, many immigrants have been deported, so much less ethnic food places now in Americaland #alternativefacts
kekek: O.o
Vickie: Ya i think this is a bit too specialised 😀
Ya, I saw Anna visits this place quite often for the Sarawak Laksa 😛
Choi Yen: haha ya she stays so close to this place too.
The laksa here is rubbish. I went after reading the linked article from FMT recently.
David: do make sure you got the right shop tho, Aunty Lan is now at the shop opposite this one.
