Dining in town is usually a pretty expensive option as it’s hard to find affordable options around. However, just head to the top floor of Far East Plaza & you’d definitely be spoilt for choice for both Chinese and Malay options!

A popular lunch spot for Muslim friends brought me to Cahaya Murni. I ordered the laksa, which came with an assortment of options between chicken, prawn or cockles and prices defer accordingly. I went ahead with the chicken and prawn option as I’m not a fan of cockles.

The laksa broth was slightly on the thinner end, almost tasting like lontong broth, but without the shrimp. However, stir in the sweet chilli and it gets slightly thicker which makes it quite a pleasant treat.
