“I always ask my staff and customers about their feedback and opinion, and from there, I’m changing and fine-tuning my recipes, I’m still fine-tuning today,” says Wong, who also often travels to Malaysia for inspiration. Laksa King also serves assam laksa, which has a fish and tamarind base. “It’s a bit sour and it’s hot and we also use shrimp paste to create a very nice flavour. The fish is cooked in the broth and we top it out with cucumber, red onion and pineapple,” says Wong. Next-level laksa In 2010, Laksa King moved just around the corner from its original location, in a space three times larger. Wong has also opened another Laksa King in Glen Waverley and Laksa King Kitchen outlets in Southland and Flemington. Laksa King Kitchen has a shorter menu than its older brother and more small plates. But, of course, the famous laksa remains. The soup is the same as Laksa King, but Wong has taken things up a notch with higher-quality ingredients and better cuts of meat. For example, the seafood laksa sees the addition of plump fish fillets, and the vegetarian laksa is filled with organic vegetables like purple cauliflower, baby corn and mushrooms. A strong following “A lot of my customers still support me from when they were students and now that they’re mothers and fathers, they bring their family here,” says Wong. “Even when students go back to Malaysia, Hong Kong and other countries, when they come back to Australia to visit, they come back to my restaurant. I feel very privileged about that.” Conclusion Laksa is a famous food in Melbourne, a craze that comes and goes, but Laksa King is always in vogue. While the Flemington restaurant acknowledges its persistent hipness with a very contemporary fit out, the menu stays true to its Malaysian roots. Laksa, of course, which is famous in various regional styles, plus a host of Malaysian hawker classics all created from scratch in the King's kitchen. Servings are plentiful and prices are cheap.
