Sarawak Laksa @ Nam Chun (南泉茶餐室)

The first time I tried Sarawak Laksa was a home made one by a family friend. There aren't many shops that sell it in KL and the ones that do aren't anywhere close to the standard set by that auntie of mine. Today, I found one that is close to that benchmark!

Nam Chun Coffee Shop at Bangsar.

Aunt Christina's Sarawak Laksa stall in Nam Chun.

This bowl of beehoon (rice vermicelli) is served in a broth mix of sambal belacan, tamarind, lemongrass, and a hint of coconut milk. This is topped with omelette and chicken strips, bean sprouts, coriander, and prawns. It was simply delicious! There is a side of chilli sauce that comes with it but the broth itself was tasty enough to hold its own.

Auntie Christina's Sarawak Laksa.

Verdict: A good bowl of authentic Sarawak Laksa. Portion was too small to fill my tummy though. Turned to my 莲蓉饼  (was surprised to find some still lying around in the pantry!).
