I really enjoyed the curry laksa here!! So flavourful and filling. However the curry puffs were a bit too dry for my liking. I wish there was more of the fried noodles as well as I was a bit disappointed with their small serving. still very worth it for the prices though !
I love me a good pop up restaurant and so was excited to come along and try the menu at KL Laksa Kitchen located on the outside of Box Hill Central in a tricky tenancy that seems to have its fair share of restaurant churn (so perfect for a pop up perhaps). The interior may well have been borrowed from previous incarnations and strung up lights gave some interior decorations, though minimalist.
You orders dishes by writing their corresponding numbers on a pad and dishes came out quickly but in no particular order. This meant we received our mains before our entrees but not a biggy.
Our drinks were the first to arrive and were pretty as a picture tri layers tea which had a sweet bottom layer that needed stirring to drink.
We had the delightfully crispy chicken drumstick which was their signature entree and very succulent. Their roti came with a chicken curry sauce which is typical of Malaysian roti and curry combos and I really enjoyed the roti… toasted golden and crispy.
I have had my fair share of Nasi Lemak especially when paired with the beef rendang. I really enjoyed the coconut rice and all the trimmings but the dish was really let down by a tough chewy beef rendang curry. Taste wise the curry had flavour but they really needed to cook down that beef for longer and lower as it was not a pleasant eat. It needs to fall apart.
I ordered the kway teow flat noodles which came with two reasonably sized prawns (not enough imo), tofu and a lot of Chinese sausage. Though flavour was only subtle with chilli I quite enjoyed this dish on balance but could have done with more flavour.
Staff were quite friendly and service ok too.
Heard a lot about this new Malaysian hawker eatery located at the ‘revolving door’ corner of Boxhill Central. The location isn’t the best which could explain why previous restaurants have struggled here. Loved the minimalist decor and depending on where you sit, you get to experience periodic vibrations from the trains passing underground.
We ordered the wa tan hor which was far too salty but topped with quite a generous amount of seafood. Their signature laksa was pretty ho-hum. Nothing special to write home about. The roti canai was probably store bought but it was heated up very well and the fish curry served on the side was quite tasty.
So overall, it was another run of the mill Malaysian restaurant with reasonably priced food and pleasant service. Hopefully they will be able to stick around longer than their predecessors but it’s interesting to note that it has been tagged as a pop up restaurant.
We were invited to try KL Laksa last night billed as a pop up restaurant in Box Hill Central but with the look of something permanent. The interior is very pedestrian perhaps owing to the potential temporary nature of the space and its one of those typical Asian restaurants where you fill out the form with your order.
The food came relatively quickly and there was quite a lot to chose from. The menu is comprised of Malaysian hawker style dishes but it lacking in detail. You cant have menus that list seafood only in the description and then come with chicken like the nasi goreng we ordered or the char kway teow which said combination seafood but then also came with sausage. Last time I checked there was no such thing as a seafood sausage so any pescatarians who may select this will be in for a rude shock. This is a real pet peeve of mine in general and restaurants need to be better at it.
It was certainly a very affordable meal and I thoroughly enjoyed my fresh coconut. As for the flavour of the rice dish it was lacking that sweet kecap manis that is traditional. This is a classic dish and the reason I ordered it is because I love those flavours but they were very much lacking in this bland rendition.
The noodle dish didnt fare much better flavour wise thought my husband had a chicken laksa which he seemed to enjoy and it presented well. As all of these dishes were recommended in the top ten from this restaurant it was disappointing that there wasnt more flavour there
Took away the curry laksa and char kuey tiao. The curry laksa came with a good amount of chicken, brinjal, tau pok (bean curd puffs), and green beans and was tasty. We warmed it up at home so it was all good. The char kuey tiao was decent but would be nicer if it were spicier.
I had hoped for a good Malaysian place nearby, so gave it a go. I admit it’s better than the previous occupant (new owner/new chef?). Service was lovely. The side of soup that comes with some dishes tastes very chickeny – msg not obvious, if any. It was great. The clay pot noodles were served in a cold to the touch clay pot. Why use a clay pot then??? My har mee also came with pork (and a generous supply of prawns). The Hainan chicken was average – according to my little expert (mini me)
