WLE! Is damn good laksa lah!

Multiple local people have recommended this Nyonya Peranakan laksa to me, as the best in the East, and after visiting here I can see why. They’ve also told me that the other chain-variety in this area is “over-rated”, “not as good as it was” and the never good to have “oily” – despite the one-and-only Gordon Ramsay spruiking it!

This soup-spoon laksa is souper satisfying all the way to the final slurp! They kindly add the chili down the side, so you can control the spice to your hearts content (I pushed the whole lot in and mixed it up). The 2 times I’ve had this lately were both post training, so I was already dripping before I started eating, so you can imagine what I looked like with the sambal sweats!

There isn’t much else to say except it’s absolutely delicious with thick juicy prawns, slurpy noodles & that amazing creamy coconut broth that defeats chopsticks!

This is an easy 5-out-of-5 stars – 100% recommended, I now do training just so I can come here to eat guilt-free.

P.S. You can get cockles, but I believe you have to ask for them – I usually include them as they add a sweet burst of flavour to your broth, and cut through the richness.
