Anyone who has been around me for more than a few years will know that I have a special eating place down in Chinatown where they serve the absolute best Laksa in the known universe (and probably a few unknown ones as well!). I used to go there with poor old Gazza who has since gone to the Internet Chat Room in the sky, and Paul, who has gone to Tamworth. There must be a link there somewhere?

Ever since I tasted this Asian delight about 15 years ago I've been looking for the perfect Laksa and that obviously requires a rigorous testing process. Over the years I've tried and tasted Laksas from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur and from Brisbane to Calcutta.
And just today I went to De Laksa in Parramatta where, according to Matthew Evans the SMH Food Critic, they supposedly have the best Laksa in Sydney, but sorry to say, the Prawn Laksa was a big disappointment. Now this place is supposedly run by Mary who is from Singapore and I'd expect something pretty good from an expat Mallaca chef but, compared to the fragrant bowl of heavenly Seafood Laksa cooked up by the Phnom Penh Teo Chew Noodle House down in the Dixon Food Court off Little Hay Street, it was little more than an insipid bowl of slop.
If you don't live in Sydney or don't intend coming here very soon then you are out of luck... you are missing one of life great pleasures.
