Malaysian Curry Laksa review at Alice's Makan, Sydney CBD

Malaysian Curry Laksa (Prawn and Chicken)

 If you fancy some good Malaysian curry laksa in Sydney CBD, we recommend that you try Alice’s Makan located at 580 George Street, Sydney (close to Town Hall Station). “Makan” in the Malay Language means “Eat” which is rather apt in the case of Alice’s Makan as they serve a variety of good and affordable Malaysian food. They even have Malaysian “Nyonya Kueh” (pastries and puffs that originated from the Peranakans (mixed marriages of the Chinese and Malay) which usually contain coconut and palm sugar as its major ingredients). We will try that the next time when we visit Alice’s Makan.

We ordered the Malaysian curry laksa which was very much to our liking as it is “lemak” (full of flavour - a mixture of mild curry and lots of coconut milk). Alice’s Makan has a selection of laksa that you can choose from - “Chicken Curry Laksa”, “Prawn laksa” and “Prawn-Chicken Curry Laksa”. For indecisive people like us, the best bet would be the “Prawn-Chicken Curry Laksa”. Our laksa comprised of “bee hoon -mee” (vermicelli and yellow noodles), “tau pok” (fried square bean curd), slices of fish cake, a few pieces of chicken fillet, a couple pieces of prawns, mint leaf for flavour and some “sambal” (chilli paste). We must say that the “sambal” was very good and it went very well with the curry laksa. If you like, you can request for additional “sambal” without any additional charge - kudos to Alice’s Makan for been generous with the “sambal”.

In conclusion and based on our experience at Alice’s Makan, we would rate the Malaysian curry laksa 9/10, its service 7/10 and its ambient 6/10 (as what you would expect in a food court). As for the price, taking into account that Alice’s Makan is in the CBD, it is moderate at the price of AUD12.00 per bowl.
