Chinta Ria - Laksa Restaurant Review

Chinta Ria - Victoria	Reviewed by AK on 9 March 2005
94 Acland St, St. Kilda, VIC (03) 9525 4664 $13.90 seafood deluxe $11.90 standard Another place my mate Troggie has recommended, Malacca's corner in Adelaide is the other one, considering the quality of that one I head in with my mouth watering. Armed with some special advice to get a side order of sambal olek, I confidently choose the Seafood deluxe version for $13.90 a measly $2 more than the standard laksa and a roti bread to soak up that delicious curry sauce.
It's not to long before we are presented with 3 large bowls of steaming noodles in a "oh so" familiar yellow broth --- YUM --- First look - A beautiful big bowl of yellow, red curry sauce letting off a gentle aroma. There are also a few green beans to break up the colour a bit, Large chunks of tofu and although not a huge fan they do not seem out of place in such a big bowl. Seafood . well there is plenty of calamari and a couple of nice sized prawns, and finished off with a combination of both hokkien and rice noodles... So far so good... Now the sauce. . while it has the flavour of laksa I do believe that it could of done with a bit more chilli and it could have been a bit thicker as well.. But having said that the side of sambal olek is not super hot , it certainly is very tasty and it sure puts a whole new look on the chunks of tofu soaked in curry sauce and looking for a added kick.. Chinta Ria Rating - 7 / 10 Verdict - A very tasty but mild laksa here, even with the sambal olek..
