Situated in Flemington, it's a bit of a hike from the city centre. However, this doesn't stop the hoards of people from flocking through its doors.
The menu is expansive and everything looks delicious. But, let's be honest, it would almost be blasphamous to come to Laksa King and not order their signature dish. On this occasion I had the chicken laksa and it was delicious! Vibrant colours and mouth watering aromas, the dish came out looking like it had been photoshopped (no, there is definitely no filter on the picture below). Balancing its elements of sweetness, sourness and saltiness like a pro, it was probably the best bowl of laksa I have ever had.
Unfortunately the pan fried pork dumplings ($10.80) we had at the start were not as good. More accurately described as gyozas, they were nice, but came out luke warm and were lacking in any wow factor.
Luckily, however, our other starter was delicious - roti bread with peanut sauce ($7.20). The bread was crisp and fluffy and the accompanying peanut sauce was not only incredibly generous (there is nothing worse than the feeling of having to ration your sauce per piece of roti bread) it was deliciously warm and full of flavour.
Whilst Laksa King takes walk ins, due to its heavy traffic I would highly recommend making a booking for one of its two dinner sittings. But, be warned, come with an empty stomach as the size of the bowls of laksa are not for the faint hearted.
