Seafood Laksa - East West Gourmet

Review by Daniel Jang

The Seafood Laksa comes with fish balls, fish fillets, prawns,
squid, crab stick and tofu.

Dish: Laksa

Restaurant Name: East West Gourmet

Location: Mandarin Centre Food Court, Chatswood, Sydney

Cuisine Style: Chinese/Malaysian/Hawker

Price: $12.00

Those familiar with hawker cuisine will know that the Laksa is among the most famous dishes in Singapore and Malaysia. Everyone has their favourite laksa stall and for me, that title belongs to East West Gourmet in the Mandarin Centre Food court.

A good laksa soup should be savoury, spicy, salty, sour and sweet all at the same time. And that's exactly what the laksa at East West Gourmet is. The moment it touches your tongue, your mouth explodes with flavour. The fish fillets are incredibly soft and almost melt in your mouth.

There are 3 variants of laksa to choose from: Chicken Laksa, Fish Fillet Laksa and Seafood Laksa. If it's your first time, I would recommend the Seafood Laksa as it has a bit of everything. Personally, my favourite is the Fish Fillet Laksa. Having said that, you really can't go wrong with any of those choices, they are all outstanding.
