Everything in the store had something to do with laksa, hence the name: Laksa-mania! I think this store was opened with the concept of singaporeans in mind due to us having a constant craving of laksa. Now, you can have any form of dish in laksa!

As bugis+ hasn't been strongly promoted yet, the place was still pretty quiet during lunch hours. I went to the restaurant and there was only 1-2 customers aside from my table. The store is tucked at a little corner near to the crystal jade. It has around 3-4 booths and 7-8 tables around. Not very suitable for large crowds. But i think the customer flow is quite fast as the dishes comes out pretty fast.
Fun fact about this enterprise is that they have a mission to help those less fortunates who may have been marginalized due to their physical/mental disabilities to gain employment. Applaud them for having such a helpful spirit :') Service was quick and prompt, and they were actually quite well-versed with the menu! They also always kept a smile on their faces which was very delightful
Food we ordered:
1. Laksa Goreng - $7.50I think this dish was very creative. Mee Goreng in laksa style. There were generous servings of prawns, fish cake, cockles and bean sprouts. At first, i thought that this dish is quite expensive as the noodles look really little. But once you uncoil the noodles, it's actually quite a lot! Good for big eaters! This dish is also one of the recommended dish by the chef! I like the laksa taste of it that oozes out in your mouth and it doesn't beat the smell of it! So this appeals to all senses!
2. Laksa Chicken Rice - $10.50 Another chef recommended dish. It includes rice with veggies (long beans, carrots, cabbage) with chicken and laksa gravy, in a sizzling hot stone bowl! Again, they were very generous in serving size as the rice was more than enough for us. We ran out of gravy after awhile to complement the rice and wasted the rice ): Laksa gravy was laced thickly with coconut, making it very aromatic. The chicken was deep fried and thick with meat. Cabbage was a little raw, i like those which are cooked entirely. Nontheless, a superb dish!
I will definitely go back to try other items on the menu but maybe wait for some promotion as i feel it's price tag is a little high. However, if you're having a strong laksa craving, this shop will definitely be able to satisfy you as there's a plethora of laksa-themed dish to choose from!
