Curry Laksa Noodle

Maggi Curry-Mee is not bad when you have a craving for curry noodles, but you haven't tried the real thing unless it's Kuala Lumpur you're talking about.  From "Delicacies of China Town" you get as close as the authentic dish - spicy, fragrant, flavourful with a tangy burst of curry powder in every drop of the gravy.  This is curry laksa that will leave you wanting more.  Further adding your wishlist of ingredients like fish balls, prawns, cockles, tender chicken drumstick.... perfect dish for any hungry and food-lover. The gravy is rich and fragrant.  I personally find thin bee-hoon (rice vermicelli) add different dimensions to every SLURP!  Highly recommended by my family members too.  You just need to try.
