Ok, now does anybody ever wonder what ever happened to the legendary Chong Choon laksa located at Abell Road, Kuching? I suspected that it has disappeared and that place or kopitiam has since changed it's laksa stall operator since the laksa did not taste like it used to, 2 years ago. Ok, now this laksa right here is rumoured to be the one of the same family as the lgendary laksa I said just now. The gravy taste and the "setting" of this laksa is exactly (or almost) the same. Any regular fan of the legendary Chong Choon laksa (since and before two years ago) would agree that this is how the Abell Road Chong Choon laksa used to taste like. Even the name of the kopitiam where this laksa stall operates is almost the same. Whatever it is, the history of this laksa remains a debatable one. Anyway, I don't care about the history. I am only interested in the laksa.Ok, now does anybody ever wonder what ever happened to the legendary Chong Choon laksa located at Abell Road, Kuching?

This shop opens as early as 6am. The gravy of this laksa is good, but it's not so spicy. I like a my gravy with a tinge of natural spiciness, which is in meaning to say that the gravy of the laksa must be a bit spicy before you even add the "sambal" to it. I am also not satisfied with the quantity. The biggest bowl offered for this laksa (pictured) is a medium bowl, which is priced at RM4.50 per bowl. For those of you who love your laksa mild in the spiciness and does not care about the prawns, this one is the perfect one for you. This laksa is also perfect for those who don't have a big appetite. Anyway this laksa is indeed a legend (or at least a resemblance of the legendary Chong Choon laksa). It is decent by my standard and it sure is in my list of favourites. Just that it doesn't dazzle me or make me crave for it.
