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!
