Thompson's Corner (Tabuan Jaya) Laksa

Location: Thompson's Corner, Tabuan Jaya, Kuching (Behind RHB Bank Tabuan Jaya).
Rating (out of 10): 8.5
Notes: One of the best Sarawakian Laksa stalls in Kuching
Price: RM4.50 & RM5.00 & RM6.00
Pictured: RM6.00


I think this is also one of the best Sarawakian Laksas in Kuching city and one of my favourite stalls too. This stall, like any other good laksa stalls in Kuching city, is always busy in the morning. I like their "special" as it is a big bowl and as usual. The size of the prawns in this one (for the "special") is medium but then again, who cares about the prawns, it is the gravy that matters, and the gravy of this laksa is superb. This is one of the rare Sarawakian Laksas stalls that serve laksa with cockles (a type of mollusk locally known here as "kerang") and that really made this laksa a big hit with locals here living nearby Tabuan Jaya bazaar area and maybe all around Kuching.

The price for the "special" is quite expensive as is at RM6.00, but if you are really a Sarawakian Laksa fan, it is the taste and satisfaction that matters and this laksa here, in my personal opinion, served from this stall here, is worth the money.
