Great food and lovely staff. Such quick service too I only dropped off one star as my laksa was visibly very different to husbands. Mine was rather bland, next to no chilli oil and milky tasting, while his was deeply flavoured with a lovely rich red on top. His was delicious, while mine was just kinda plain. Not sure what happened as no changes requested. The food was fresh and nice though, my laksa was still good, just no where near as good as husbands
