This was literally the last bowl before the stall closed so lucky me but at the same time I can't be sure it's the normal portion.
Nonetheless, it's absolutely delicious and ingenious. Mee Siam is sweet and sour, thus it makes perfect sense to add the sweetness and sourness of the fruits to it, which leveraging their aroma. It's very harmonious and not weird at all. Slurp worthy but I'm not a fan of sour food so I don't recommend adding the lime. Their chili is strongly tangy too, not very spicy.
One of our go to stalls at Hong Lim for laksa other than BCM or CKT. Masks on everyone!
Lovely and friendly couple was definitely a good start of the food experience. Stall is known for its crayfish laksa, but decided to try the meesiam because it sounds unique!
The broth was amazingly light and refreshing, with the tanginess of the fruit juice concoction. (Not sure whatās in it, but definitely taste like normal meesiam broth!) Definitely appreciated that the broth wasnāt salty and didnāt have me reaching for water. Really tasted homemade and absolutely tasty!
Decent amount of prawns, chicken and fish cakes as well. However, may be too sour for people who arenāt accustomed to the sour flavor. But personally love it.
Long before āFamous Sungei Road Trishaw Laksaā gained fame and the inevitable long queues, I use to frequent it as Iād been drawn to the fact that Uncle Soo uses āreal fruit juiceā in his Mee Siam broth. Yes, in spite of the stallās name, and having eaten his Laksa and Mee Rebus (he sells those too), I have always remained most fond of his Mee Siam.
When I dropped by today to have it again after more than a year, itās still the broth that wows. It has a wonderful spark of distinct freshness and gentle sourness that makes it completely different from others. I ordered the $5 bowl which is suppose to come with prawns, fish cake and chicken but I requested for the chicken to be left out. Call me a selective purist but I didnāt think that white meat had any business being in there. Come to think of it, neither does fish cake but oh well. Anyway, I still enjoyed the dish but truth be told, itās really the part I can slurp that keeps me enchanted.
My colleague and I tried the laksa $4. Wasnt really wow by it, tastes normal but I can feel the uncle's passion for his food. He is in the Bib Gourmand list for 3 years in a row.
Asia Delight Laksa.
