Being keen
on Sarawak laksa, I recently tried out an acquaintance’s recommendation. Lin Li
Xiang had been open for about a year when I visited, not the best timing as
much of 2020 was the MCO period with restricted dine in.

Lin Li Xiang shoplot |
Located along a nondescript line of shoplots in Damansara Jaya, Lin Li Xiang is a Sarawak-food theme’d restaurant, a couple of notches above your typical noisy coffee shop. Within, it’s neat and spacious with a tiled floor and semi-tiled walls complementing the wooden furniture, which lends it a touch of class. Posters of Sarawak specialties adorn the walls, both noodles such as kolo mee, tomato mee and laksa as well as dishes such as curries and pig trotters as accompaniments to rice. The friendly brother-sister couple who run the restaurant hail from Kuching, Sarawak, which boded well for the food.
