The journey of this curry laksa began in the 1960s with the owner peddling his homemade recipe on a tricycle. The aromatic and inviting scent of his laksa has long been a landmark of Ulu Tiram. Eventually, the owner decided to establish a permanent stall right in front of his house, continuing to offer this emotionally charged traditional dish.
What sets this curry laksa apart is its soulful broth, a labor of love slowly simmered with selected old coconuts and fresh shrimp paste. This unique concoction offers a rich coconut flavor combined with a subtle seafood sweetness, creating a broth that is hearty yet not overpowering. For those who enjoy a spicy kick, the addition of homemade sambal chili sauce is a must, adding a delightful zing to every bite.
The toppings, including crispy bean sprouts, soft tofu puffs, springy fish balls, unique blood cockles, and smooth quail eggs, add layers of texture and flavor, paying homage to the classic taste. Despite the changing times and rising costs, the eatery maintains an affordable price of RM5, inviting patrons to relish this timeless flavor.
