Tq Mwf member for recommended this laksa at chong choon

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/913178ee.jpg)
reasonably price, big crunchy prawn(not sweet tony surpprise actually), the laksa gravy is superb, correct mixture of spices... Not so spicy, not too creamy, with little kasturi lime juice, heaven!!!

I wish I can hv bigger stomach... But I must reserve the room for other gd stuff later!!!

The teh c here generally is not as thick as creamy to my like... But the tea leaves used is not bad...

Early lunch b4 my family shouting to go the spring shopping due to can't tahan the hot weather!!!

Had a ice latte While I walking towards this stall...
Not a big coffee lover but the roasted coffee bean smell attracted me...

ice latte....


(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/029be6e8.jpg)
this is what I came for....
Fantastic, not too sweet, not too oily, not too thick....
The thick square kueh Teo is smooth...
The three layer meat, the tongue... Very tender after long cooked... The egg is superb, the soup taste is seeping into the yolk side... N the outer layer of skin, that's collagen, a very tasty one!
