Update : Kali terakhir datang ke sini pada 5 tahun yang lepas. Tahun ini barulah ada kesempatan bertandang ke mari untuk merasai menu yang lain. Kalau dahulu dah order menu laksa ikan seekor, kali ini saya order mee kuah daging special. Portion daging dan mee sama banyak, puas hati makan. Berbaloi dengan harganya. Rasa udang kering atau pes otak udang agak kuat dalam kuahnya. Bagi yang tak suka 'fishy taste', maka hidangan ini mungkin tidak sesuai untuk anda. Untuk saya, dari segi portion, rasa & harganya sememangnya berbaloi. Kedai terletak di tepi jalan berhampiran pejabat pos dan stesen minyak Shell. Tapi jangan risau, untuk kenderaan kereta ada kawasan yang agak lapang di tepi kedai. Jadi anda boleh parking dengan selesa & selamat.

1) Laksa sedap sangat, kuah dia just nice tak pekat sangat tak la ceroi, takde bau hanyir ikan. Sedap hirup kuah dia. Portion pun banyak 2) Mee kuah daging special ada telur goyang & telur rebus setengah biji, daging pun banyak. Ada rasa pedas2 sikir. Ni mee kuah daging paling sedap saya pernah makan. Portion pun banyak 3. Kopi ais dia pun sedap sangat Sedap & harga berpatutgan Pasti akan repeat lagi. Yang challenging cuma parking sebab kedai ni tepi jalan besar, alternatif parking mungkin boleh park dekat masjid

Ordered 1 laksa ikan sekoq and mee kuah daging double special. The laksa ikan sekoq is extremely delicious, it reminds you of orang2 lama cooking, like grandma's cooking(homecooking taste). Also the spicy level is on point. The mee kuah double special have a half boiled egg and full boiled egg which make the kuah extra creamy. The taste is delicious, and not sweet which is not many shop do that nowadays . After finish these 2 food, I ordered another 1 laksa ikan sekoq because 1 mangkuk is not enough. Didn't have time to take picture because busy eating.

Malay friends took me to this place from George Town for the Laksa Ika Sekoq. It was quite a drive but these friends’ enthousiasm made me curious. The food was totally worth it. If you are European, as I am ,you maybe need a bit of a sense of adventure to start with but in the end I can only conclude I loved this authentic food. The owner is a nice lady and we could even take a group-picture for a final souvenir. Recommended !!
