Laksa With Hainanese Chicken - a photo on Flickriver

            Dinner @ "Walla Walla", a new Singaporean eatery/restaurant in Shanghai.

Managed to speak to one of the bosses - "Walla Walla" actually sounds like "a lot of good noises" in Shanghainese so it is quite evident that he is going for the local tastebuds.

Flavour-wise, the poached chicken pieces were alright; fragrant and reasonably moist but the star of the dish - the laksa broth was too watered down or as we say in Singapore, not "lemak" enough. There were also too many 'bits and pieces" floating around in the broth (pieces of chilli skin, twigs and fibrous flotsams), getting themselves stuck in between my teeth and annoying the heck out of me.

There was also the odd "galangal" aroma, which was quite jarring, and never found in a Singaporean Laksa.....

And my drink, a Singaporean Coffee, too, was watered down as well.

This Laksa may appeal to the locals, but for someone with Singaporean blood pulsating in the veins, it was just not appealing.
