Chef Lagenda - FLEMINGTON

Great food served quick. Prompt and friendly service. Didn't expect much, but ended up meeting my noodle cravings to a tee.

The Laksa’s here are just as good if not better than laksa king. I found that any other item of food I’ve ordered off the rest of the menu is better thanks laksa king too. Not as busy either and very good service.

A friend and I came here last night, I had been here many moons ago but am happy that I decided to come back.<br/ <br/ A great menu with good service, although I did find it slightly bizarre that they gave us the bill at the start when we just finished ordering.  <br/ <br/ We ordered the pork dumplings to start with that were really delicious and there were soooo many, they were also really big! The salt and pepper squid was really tender and tasty along with the Chinese broccoli.  The stand out for me was the beef rendang.  I have finally found a place in Melbourne that serves up a flavoursome rendang and the beef was so tender.  <br/ <br/ Great portions on the food here, really good value for money.

My score 3.5 stars avge of many visits). J and I had lunch here on Mon 16th Mar and it was basically empty. Service very good and helpful. We shared:Whiting fillets w red mayo $7.80 entrée) – Delicate and clean battered fillets with a nice cabbage salad base. Red mayo was nice but pretty sweet.Veg and tofu with rice $10.80 lunch serve) – Nice garlicky gravy, lightly cooked al dente veg and soft tofu puffs. Large rice, but not a huge serve of veg or tofu.Assam prawns with rice $13.80 lunch serve) – Nice sized prawns, red onion, tomato, a little pineapple, green beans and okra. Plenty of sour sauce with a touch of chilli heat I would have liked even hotter, but J thought it was about right). Oct 2018. Vego Laksa Is always good, more eggplant than Laksa King next door and its cheaper), however LK 's has a better, spicier broth and more Tofu. Spicy Chilli Crispy duck on rice It was crispy and spicy, but also VERY sweet no mention of that in the description! Plenty of rice, 3 bits of broccoli and generous boneless duck it was ok, but wouldn 't have again because of the sweetness. Other visits Free tea is nice, place always seems noisy whether busy or not. Nasi Lemak w chicken Is less generous than LK, but bigger than MY Tofu 's around corner) one of my fav bits of Nasi L is the Sambal anchovies, but CL 's are the 'fishiest ' and least crispy I 've ever had, so not to my taste. Fried KT Smaller than LK 's, but nicer, spicier and less oily.

The customer service at this restaurant is excellent. The laksa is delicious but the atmosphere can be a bit hectic.
