This is the second CNY without dad. Time flies. Mom and I went to give our offerings on Friday, 06.02. We won't be in town during the festive season, so we went to visit dad earlier.

Laksa from VeryNice Restaurant at Rock Road. RM10, small bowl. The portion was not impressive at all. For RM10, I would expect somewhat more than what I got - a little more than half a bowl. I was disappointed.
2 prawns accompanied the noodles. They were fresh and succulent. Other than that, there were beansprouts, chicken, egg strips and fresh coriander. The broth, though well-flavoured and well-balanced, was not that distinctive or special.
Plus, the bowl of laksa could be hotter! It barely burnt my tongue. I like my laksa to be piping hot to enhance the overall gastronomic experience.
Would I go back? Nah ...

Found a very tasty kerepek bawang .... my colleague bought a pack at the Kenyalang CNY Bazaar. She brought some for us to try and we love the texture - crunchy but not hard, and packed with savoury onion flavour.
So I went to buy a packet for myself too today. RM25. A bit pricey, but totally enjoyable to snakc on.

Last laksa before CNY ... my fav, my go-to ... Mui Chin's. Best laksa ever! RM10, reasonably portioned, piping hot and old school broth. The laksa leaves me satisfied all the time.
