Temasek - Parramatta

Unlike your usual laksa, the soup here is so thick with aromatics it was almost the consistency of a sauce, which meant that each mouthful of noodle is absolutely saturated with flavour. Every slurp was fragrant, creamy goodness, with just enough spice thrown in to keep things exciting. In fact, the only thing to complain about would be the stinginess of the toppings, which consist of nothing more than a few slices of fish cake, and a couple of tofu puffs. I’d expect a bit more for the price, but all-up it’s delicious enough for me not to mind at all.

Dont be fooled by the way this restaurant looks. The food served is very tasty.<br/ <br/ The staff are friendly and helpful. We ordered 2 dishes that we didn't know were similar in flavours and one of the waiters came and inform us and asked if we wanted to change one of the dish.<br/ <br/ Prices are moderate approx $20 per main. Might not sound like much but for singaporean/malay food it's consider pricey.

Decent spot for lunch in the area. Ordered the Hainan chicken rice and chicken laksa from their lunch specials. Chicken was smooth and had good texture. I chose mixed noodles for my laksa and it was delicious. Still a good as I remembered it from years ago.

Quick service and food is awesome here. Always packed when I go so make sure to book a table if you plan to go with a large group. The food feels very authentic here and is reasonably priced. The hainanese chicken is a winning dish.<br/ <br/ If you'd like to read more of my reviews, please check out my Zomato page and visit @cynthiaeats_ on Instagram for more photos!

There is reason this place has delivered wonderful food at a good price since 92. They are good at it. One of the best meals you will have. Cancel the trip to Singapore, just book a hotel in Parramatta and your their.
