Lao Mao Cafe

Dog friendly cafe on the 1st floor. Assam laksa, beef noodles and Mee kolok are staples together with nasi lemak. Curry puff is goood and the cendol is rich and great taste of gula Melaka. A magnet for neighbourhood oldies for afternoon cakes and desserts. Marianne and staff are cheerful and every customer gets a warm greeting and service.

We actually enjoyed everything we ordered here. Sarawak laksa and kolo mee were good. That explains the crowd at this place whenever we pass by. Lady boss was friendly and went to check on each table. Good spot for a quick and casual dining in the mall.

As a penangite, i would recommend anyone who craving penang assam laksa to come here and give it a try. The taste is not overwhelmed and quite balanced. The ingredients taste fresh and very packed in the bowl. Prawn paste also didnt taste too heavy or smelly, it is more to sweet side. Back in penang, i dont even order with prawn paste. Even tho i ordered small but definitely bigger than small portion back in penang. Nasi lemak rice is way fragrance than most of the branded nasi lemak shops out thr. Sambal is more to chinese style, that has anchovies and not spicy.

Great food with variety choice from Sarawak Laksa, Beef Noodles, Assam Laksa Kolo noodles to Nasi Lamak and Sourdough and croissant. All the ingredient prepare by the seller. The Cendol is a must with fragrant of coconut sugar.

Love the food here and service quality is a delight. Across 2 visits with a few dining companions, tried the following and all were excellent! * Sarawak Laksa - One of the best broths I have had with this dish. Full of quality spices and extremely well balanced flavours. Noodles have food bite and toppings all tasty. * Kolo Mee - A friend had this and said it tasted true to the flavours of the best he has tried in Sarawak. * Assam/Penang Laksa - once again, an excellent broth. Was told that they do not use sugar but get the sweetness from the use of pineapples. It has a delicious umami quality. * Sourdough with Chicken Curry - Outstanding curry chicken. There is not coconut santan used. Again, you can taste the complexity of a well balanced and extensive spice recipe being utilised. The sourdough had a good sour taste which is usually an indicator that the dough has been allowed to ferment for a good period. Had a few sips of the chendol here. Heavenly Gula Malacca - again, quality of the ingredient shines through. Delicious finish to any meal.

Caught up with friends at a Sarawakian cafe. The mee kolo was tasty and the laksa was great. The pandan cake was moist and paired superbly with coffee

Authetic Sarawak Laksa and Kolo Mee. Nasi lemak with fried chicken served with 2 types of sambal, choice of fried chicken or curry chicken. Beef noodle is excellent too. After meal, get a bowl of delicious cendol to finish off the meal. Even a little pricey, but the taste is good and portion is big enough. Strongly recommended.
