I've always heard mixed reviews about the service at Laksa King, and to be honest I think we may have just been lucky in terms of the good service we received that day. I don't think we'll be going back any time soon anyway simply because of the chance of poor service, and the fact that there are so many other places that are just as good, if not better anyway! I can imagine it would be hard with kids, and some restaurants probably aren't overly tolerant, but good on you for not letting it deter you :) Your kids will have the fondest memories of eating out, I know I have those memories of my childhood, and they are some of my favourites!Bianca @ The Cooking Capershttp://thecookingcapers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4396665560375307469.post-66795016970076439032011-11-16T14:36:39.971+11:002011-11-16T14:36:39.971+11:00@ Nic : I've enjoyed the boneless chicken vers...@ Nic : I've enjoyed the boneless chicken version of Hainanese Chicken Rice at a few different places now, and almost feel annoyed when I have to have it with bones!!!<br /><br />@Bianca : So glad you got better service than us! Unfortunately it's not the first time we've had less than ideal service when dining out with the whole gang - dining with kids can be trickier for parents and restaurants alike, but as you can see from my blog it ain't stopping me from eating out, and I will sing high praises to the places we visit with good food, great service and are tolerant of the little ones!EatPlayShophttp://www.eatplayshopmelbourne.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4396665560375307469.post-2497571355110138862011-11-10T21:56:26.300+11:002011-11-10T21:56:26.300+11:00Hi K@Epicurus,
Thanks for your comment, you sound...Hi K@Epicurus,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment, you sound much more of an expert in laksa's than we are! Our favourite laksas would be from Rasa Malaya (as you mentioned) and also Straits Cafe in Doncaster. The laksa at Laksa King was quite nice, just not one that I'd travel far on purpose to have, especially as we live to the East of Melbourne. <br /><br />What do you think of the standard of laksa's in Hong Kong? As with most Asian foods I'm sure there's a much greater variety and much better standard than in Melbourne?<br /><br />Cheers,<br />EatPlayShopEatPlayShophttp://www.eatplayshopmelbourne.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4396665560375307469.post-17908567415629999822011-11-08T21:54:37.045+11:002011-11-08T21:54:37.045+11:00Hi EatPlayShopMelbourne,

I don't mind which style of Laksa, although I do prefer that they give out Laksa Leaves - much like Pho should come with Culantro and not a single shop in Melb does it! <br /><br />I guess I could bring my own leaves though as I found them in the same Vietnamese grocery stores I bought my Culantro from! <br /><br />Thanks,<br />K. <br />HK EpicurusAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951478222064972637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4396665560375307469.post-57105704977924033562011-10-04T18:46:40.052+11:002011-10-04T18:46:40.052+11:00Such a shame that you had poor service here!

It's sad when they cannot be consistant with service. I agree about the food though, it's pretty damn good, but there are other places where you can get the same standard of food (and better service in your case). Try Chef Lagenda next time? :)Bianca @ The Cooking Capershttp://thecookingcapers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4396665560375307469.post-18520880052472863692011-10-04T16:17:24.697+11:002011-10-04T16:17:24.697+11:00Ooh I like that the chicken rice is boneless.
