Ordered the set because it had Laksa vermicelli for $48.

The set was interesting because it came with herbs and butter toast, seaweed, Roselle tea drink and a tofu pudding (subject to availability).

As well as that I tried the intestines with soy wasabi sauce.
It was tea time so there were not many people.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roselle tea:

The sweetness was just right and it basically tastes like ribena with a rosy taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Butter toast and seaweed:

Initially I assumed it was garlic bread but it was herbs and butter which was quite nice.
It was interesting it came with seaweed too! The seaweed tasted natural with a hint of sesame oil but the green colour was artificial because it came off on the toast.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Laksa vermicelli:

The laksa broth tasted more like prawn broth with added lemongrass to it.
It was not spicy which was good because I did not feel like anything spicy that day.
If you have tried the seafood broth at this place, the broth tastes like that enhanced with lemongrass.
On top of the vermicelli, there was a huge piece of pork chop with shimeji and enoki mushrooms.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Intestines with soy wasabi sauce:


The colour of these intestines were quite dark! Usually they are bright orange or natural.
I tried them without the sauce and it was already flavoured and quite nice.
The texture of them were soft and springy.
After dipping them in wasabi sauce they tasted even better.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tofu pudding:

The taste of the pudding was really nice and not too sweet.
The soybean taste was strong and it seems to be made with soymilk and gelatin.

Last time I tried the laksa and chicken rice, so this time tried the pork chop curry.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pork chop curry:

The curry sauce was really nice, it was really spicy too and tasted lovely with the rice.
The coconut in the sauce was heavy.
The pork chop was slightly dry.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lime soda:



The lime soda was refreshing and not too sweet.

Found out there was Laksa, so ordered one.

There was a choice of chicken or beef, so I picked the beef and also ordered the dessert because it looked colourful on the menu.

Laksa:
The Laksa was quite good for Maxim's standard, especially the soup.
The soup is thinner than the authentic ones, but it was slightly spicy and has a strong prawn base flavouring.
The only thing that let it down was the vermicelli, it does not soak up the soup.
It was a case of vermicelli tasting like vermicelli, unless you put the soup in your mouth as well.
The Laksa had the combination of basic ingredients that i felt were Vietnamese, such as Vietnamese sausage, shredded chicken, and tofu puffs.

Dessert:
This came with the noodles for an $8, it consisted of three pieces of sweet puddings: sweetcorn pudding, taro and sago pudding and red bean pudding.
The taro was quite bland, and the sago pearls kept falling out.
The sweetcorn one was a bit sweet but was the best.
The redbean one is not my cup of tea, but the jelly that bound it together was crystal clear and pretty.
The spoon that came with the dessert was really really nice!

Overall MX's food seems to be improving, especially the packaging and cutlery.
Previously I had caramel milk tea because I liked the cup they used not because of the drink!

Food republic originates from Singapore, so I thought it would be fun to get some Singapore food from Sargeants, the Laksa was ok, a good variety of seafood in it, and the soup was strong, however they leaves sprinkled on top were not Laksa leaves, but lemon grass.

Came here for afternoon tea, so ordered their Laksa and Noodles in Soy sauce, the portion of the noodles in soy sauce was quite small, which was good in a way because I was still hungry, so ordered the prawn noodles as well!!!

Noodles in Soy sauce with chicken and roast pork:
the noodles tasted like noodles at on lei i previously tried
http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?commentid=1994966
and the shredded chicken was tender and juicy, and wasnt dry or tasteless or had an overnight odour like some places.
the roast pork was ok.
the soup that came with the noodles was natural, no msg added.

Laksa:
not that spicy, the soup wasnt that strong, Katong still rates the FIRST!!!
anyway the vermicelli was good!! they are the thread like vermicelli, same at Katong.
also the soup didnt have MSG.

Prawn noodles:
Tasted relatively good, as good at the prawn noodle shop in wanchai, but in a different way.

The prawn noodles here tasted good, because the vermicelli was thin, so could take in the flavour of the soup, however the prawn soup at wanchai tastes stronger, but the noodles there arent good.
