You can order an arrangement of Asian dishes – Malaysian, Singaporean, Chinese, Thai and Japanese influenced. There is Laksa (vegetable, beef, chicken, seafood, prawn or duck) from $7.50 (and the soup is true to form – creamy and coconutty with a typical mild laksa curry flavour to it), noodle soups (such as wonton with additions of barbecue pork or seafood and other varieties), and wok noodles with a choice of noodles and sauces (soy, oyster, teriyaki, sweet chili, satay or Mongolian).
