| Ensconced on the outskirts of Chinatown, Laksa Me is the latest eatery by renowned chef Allen Woo of Ah Mu fame. Fans of Woo's work will be glad to hear Laksa Me features the same unique blend of modern Asian cuisines that saw Ah Mu awarded the gong of best modern Asian restaurant by The Age Good Food Guide from 2001 to 2004.
Laksa Me has a friendly, understated vibe with dark red and eggplant feature walls, fresh flowers, tranquil jazz music and glazed concrete floors painted with Asian characters. The cuisine is an enticing mix of contemporary pan-Asian flavours, showcased in Woo's own creatively designed recipes.
The menu might feature siu mai dumplings with Malaysian crispy tofu; or a vegetarian triangle with wok-tossed shredded daikon, crunchy mung beans and Asian chives, folded and pan-fried in Chinese white pastry. Woo's signature is the tangy oyster shots, featuring Pacific oysters lightly cured in a nutty basil and sesame dressing. Pick the perfect shot chaser from an extensive beer list, packed with Australian and imported Asian varieties.
