Le Char Kuey ($12.50 to $15.50) with a side of mini
papadums, good for two to share. The Laksa filling was
piquant and tasty; worth a try. Chockful of eggs, fishcakes,
dried baby shrimp, and tau pok.

The Le Char Kuey with Chicken Bak Kwa and wasabi mayo filling was also
strangely comforting, you know, like those moments that take you back
to days when you spread marmite on bread hee hee... ...
FYI. No pork or lard used in the food here too.

On wish list for home... ...

Though not really a place for coffee (Italian beans used here for java), the warm service, interesting furnishings and theme, on top of great grub, make it a perfect pitstop on a sunny day.
