    Padang Brown Asam Laksa. afternoon session, near dato kramat rd end (opposite petron petrol station. saw somewhere a posting that the laksa there is nice, so today decided to go try it. yes, indeed it was delicious. like the broth which is not too thick or too soupy.

    A food court with a variety of food choices. Randomly looking until you don't know what to eat. Pasemboq is the main choice if you come here. Just choose carefully if you don't want to be slaughtered.

    Popular local hawker food court. The Padang Brown food complex is open from lunchtime to afternoon. Offers limited hawker street food options for a quick meal or snack but the food here is reasonably good.

    Stopped by because it reminded me of the old Jln Perak hostel, 1995. The best Pasembuq!

    The food was delicious, but it was strange that the vendor didn't have any change when we paid. It was as if we, the customers, had to find change..

    I went to try Zulaikha as per commentor's recoomendation. Its not great for me. While you have squid and prawns, the sauce and the ingredients didnt work for me.
