Verdict: If you're conscious with your cholestrol level, then I'd say, stay away from this page, however, if you would like to have the best Chicken Curry Laksa in Auckland, I'd say, read on and enjoy :) I must say, I am not a really a Curry Laksa fan however, i believe, due to the weather in Auckland, I needed to consume / try something soupy or spicy to keep myself warm in this cold weather. That's when I found this Chicken Curry Laksa in Chinatown - Botany. I have tried curry laksa in other places around Auckland, but this is simply the best I have tried. The curry is thick, creamy and simply delicious. Served with half sliced egg, chicken, fried and normal tofu, scallions, yellow noodle and mihun, spices and the curry itself. I have been to KL Kitchen and had the Chicken Curry Laksa several times and the taste has always been the same. Not to forget, the Chicken Curry Laksa taste even better with the Sambal served with it. To all Curry Laksa fan's in New Zealand, KL Kitchen's Chicken Curry Laksa is a must try for sure!

The owners of KL Kitchen are very friendly and always has a smile. The prices are very reasonable too. 

History of Curry Laksa: The origin of Curry Laksa is unknown, however, it is a common dish served in Malaysia and Singapore. Each state in Malaysia has it's own way of preparing it. The taste does differ from state to state in Malaysia, but the ingredients are usually similar to each other. It is a coconut-based curry soup. The main ingredients for most versions of curry laksa include tofu puffs, fish sticks, shrimp and cockles. There are two basic types of laksa: curry laksa and asam laksa. Curry laksa is a coconut curry soup with noodles, while asam laksa is a sour fish soup with noodles. Thick rice noodles also known as laksa noodles are most commonly used, though Mi Hun and Kueh Tiaw are also common.
