Laksa King

We had lunch with Darren and Linda @ Laksa King. Darren & family have been patrons of the restaurant for a long time and today we made it a point to buy them lunch as a going away thing before they leave for the holiday.

It would be more appropriate to say the restaurant is a cafe. It's unassuming, maybe can seat 30 customers. The location is not great, being in Flemington. On their recommendation we ordered curry laksa, seafood laksa, salted fish head vermicelli, and of cause, their famous sambal. All dishes turned out to be superb, very authentic Malaysian, and their true flavors and aroma were very apparent to all customers. I would give a 9/10 score. We enjoyed our meal thoroughly and was very glad we vetted our appetite.....

Coffee At Flinders Lane

Flinders Lane

We went out with friends Darren and Linda to the city to have coffee after our lunch in Flemington's Laksa. We decided to take them to Flinders Lane where cafe's are aplenty. The coffee culture in Melbourne is world famous. One can find only a handful of Starbucks around the country, the rest of them are home grown cafes, well supported by the locals and visitors alike. Gloria Jeans was once owned by the Americans. They came out to Oz to set up the chain and in the end Gloria Jeans Australia bought out their parent company! Don't mug around with the Aussies when it come to the coffee culture.....

Anyway we found a little cafe and ordered our hot latte, flat white, cappuccinos. We also ordered a slice of mud cake and a cheese cake to go with our coffees. Every one enjoyed the atmosphere and time together. It was a good break away from life in the burbs.

All in all a fantastic day. In the company of good friends, great Malaysian laksa and salted fish head vermicelli lunch, great cuppas, and a stroll in the city.....
