Decided to try their laksa on my 2nd visit to Laksania...

FOODSingapore laksa

The soup has a thick paste of laksa, and proportionate amount of coconut that gives the laksa its awesome taste. The ingredients in the laksa are quite ordinary though, like: fish cake, tau pok and egg.Chicken Satay with laksa sauce

Instead of the normal satay sauce, laksania has its own laksa sauce specially for satay lovers! The thick laksa sauce has a good amount of laksa paste and coconut which gives rise to the well-blended sauce, and goes well with the fragrantly-grilled satay.

OVERALL
It's one of the cheapest restaurants in NEX compared to other eateries. Also, it's not so crowded like the rest, very ideal for people who prefer quiet places. A restaurant worth dining in, especially for laksa fans!
