On my food tour of Bukit Tambun, my friend brought me to this stall selling laksa. For want of a better name, I will just call it Bukit Tambun Laksa. To reach it, you turn off the main road, Jalan Bukit Tambun and take the side road beside Tambun Kochabi Kopitiam. You will pass a Chinese temple on your left, and the former building of SJKC Keng Koon on your right. The building today serves as the ilumni association (Persatuan Bekas Murid-Murid Sekolah Keng Koon) after the school relocated.
This laksa stall is located in a private house behind the former school building. There is an open space in front of the house and customers park their cars there.
The laksa has the "old world taste" (or as we say it in Penang Hokkien, kor1ca1bi33"). The broth is rich in fish flakes, and there's a generous topping of mint leaves and torchginger. I enjoyed it and look fored to returning.
In addition to the laksa, we also had the nasi lemak, which came with a variety of items. The rice was coloured a light blue from butterfly pea flower. It came with curry chicken, potatoes, anchovies fried with groundnuts, half a boiled egg and pickles.
In addition to the laksa and nasi lemak, my friend ordered the trotters in black vinegar. It is also very tasty. We were fortunate to get the meaty parts with a good balance of meat and fat.
And that's not all, my friend also ordered a small plate of deep-fried beancurds, fish cakes and prawn wantan. We also ordered a plate of deep-fried springrolls.
To wash down this lovely meal, we had cendol. It is very refreshing on that hot day.
When it came time to pay the bill, the hawker informed us it is "on the house". That was so nice of her, even though we had insisted on paying our share.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
