Mc Lucksa, Haymarket Chinatown

How could you not smile when queueing for lunch at a stall calling itself Mc Lucksa?

There are plenty of options at the level three food court in Market City but today I'm standing at the counter of Mc Lucksa.

I've stood here a few times, lured by the salt and pepper chicken, sambal tofu and brown simmered tea eggs in their prettier-than-most bain marie window. It's cold, wet and miserable this lunchtime, and that means an instant craving for a steaming bowl of seafood laksa.


Seafood Laksa Soup Noodles $8.80

The seafood laksa is a vibrant shade of saffron, scattered with bits of fish ball, fried tofu squares, calamari and three peeled prawns. I've ordered mine with flat rice noodles, and although it's creamy with coconut milk, I'm a little disappointed with the lack of fiery spices and chilli.


Combination Noodle Soup $8.00

B has the combination noodle soup, a clear stock filled with egg noodles, fish cakes, prawn and green vegetables.

It's a lot nicer eating here since the food court renovations here been completed over the past couple of years. Now there's plenty of light streaming in through the windows, new shiny seating and an area of long communal tables for groups large and small.



And the laksa is the perfect antidote to the miserable weather outside. It's a rich meal but one that is finished all the same. Now if only food courts came with beds to snooze on after big lunchtime feeds.
