Komepura Rice Flour Tempura
Japanese
Chiefeater Luke Soon tried the tempura made of rice flour at Komepura and was amazed at how well it lends itself to the taste


Sarawak Laksa, Pork-Free
Lunch at Alexis Bistro The Gardens. Alexis is to KL, what Loewys is to Jakarta. IYKYK. Alexis is certainly an establishment , started at least 2 decades ago at Telawi Bangsar. A few of us old ones were regaling the maelstrom that was Bangsar back in the heydays - think Finnegaans, Ronnie Q, Devi’s Corber etc . Again IYKYK. Over the years - it’s becoming a bit of a Central Perk (of Friends’ fame) for us.

Serving dependable good bites and a not so bad wine list. Back again today at their Gardens outlet - I had ye old faithful, Sarawak Laksa. Now I’ve had countless bowls of such laksa over the years - but maybe the ambience here, not sure - makes Alexis’ offering a cut above the rest. It’s not a 8/10 slam dunk, but a consistent 7-7.5/10 over the decades, every single time.

The rich broth, "coconutty", tangy packs full scale umaminess/richness only to be found here. Pound for pound, bowl for bowl, Lao Mao@ Megah Rise comes closest- but threw in the overall ambience/experience/nostalgia and Alexis is untouchable.

As I’m alone without family and friends this time around - I opted for the laksa and a tapas (gambas) And wine of course. White wine. That’s just the way it is.

Total damage RM290 including a bottle of wine. Irrepressibly Alexis Bistro The Gardens. Total experience 7/10 over 3 decades and that’s saying something. Consistency over Intensity, always.
