I'm not a regular 5-star rater but Chinatown Cafe is without a doubt, THE best spot for Chicken Rice & Laksa. So much so as I crave this meal at least once a week. The chicken rice (and you must order with asian greens & a side of laksa broth) is absolutely mouth-watering. The laksa gives it a run for its money also. Always busy, and generally filled with a lot of suits (a double bonus) by the time you order, the fabulous staff have you seated within minutes - the turnover of customers in this joint is remarkable. The prices are extremely reasonable also. My only dilemma, I can't find the equivalent anywhere...the hottest spot in Chinatown. And one last note: around the corner, for dessert, the chef bun. The perfect corporate lunch or hangover cure.
Wow! The laksa here is amazing! Be prepared for a bit of a line up, but it does move quickly! Get your cutlery and sauces (complimentary) organised while you wait and you will definetly get a table before your food is served (which is quickly). Not the place to go if you want a slow, leisurely meal, but perfect for lunch on the run, takeaway or a quick inexpensive dinner, perfect for students. I find myself craving it mid-week! Tasty and fresh you can't go past the China Town Cafe!
Cheapest and freshest in Central Market. Best Hainese chicken, very low prices and big servings. Choice of sauces and condiments free. Can often be very crowded inside, takeaway is best.
