The verdict
BolehJason rates this childhood Teluk Intan laksa 7.9, praising the kampung-fish soup and bouncy noodles as the two components that matter most. The ABC is refreshing at 7.2 though pricier than KL, and the fucuk is best skipped unless dunked in the soup.
Highlights
- Price: Laksa with fucuk and fish ball costs RM9.80; ABC slightly pricier than KL versions
- Taste: Salty-dominant soup with prominent kampung fish flavour, sweet-sour notes and nice bouncy noodles
- Ambiance: Childhood laksa spot a stone's throw from his old high school
- Other: Fucuk is tasteless and not airy, only worth ordering dunked in soup

This is my high school, and it's two stones throw away from her childhood laksa called Hawaii. Here to try their laksa and ABC. Quick screenshot for the prices. Normal ABC, very refreshing. It's not super sweet. ABC can be way too sweet with the syrup. I also like that the cincow is in bigger chunks so that you feel it more. Very important, the chendol. Standard fresh. They don't give much red bean which is very sad. Surprisingly a bit more expensive than some in KL. 7.2. Laksa plus fucuk plus bowl. I don't know what's bowl. It seems like a staple to fish bowl, bowl. RM9.80. The one redeeming quality I can say about this is tak masuk angin. But other than that it's very tasteless. Better you just don't order. Unless you want to put in your soup to add more flavor but for me personally it defeats the purpose because I want my fucuk to be crispy not drenched in soup. Wow. But it does taste much better when you put it in the soup. The soup is not bad. It's a bit sweet, salty and sour. It's all of those three. Salty is the most dominant taste that I get from this soup. It has that kampong fish flavor, you know the one that they usually put in laksa. It's quite prominent in this one. Noodles is nice and bouncy. I like the soup. Laksa malam style. Portion quite a lot and the peppermint leaf taste is not super strong. The fish portion which is very little. I think they're trying to save money. Laksa was not. The strongest point of this laksa is the soup and the noodle. Two of the most important components in a laksa bowl. For me they got it right. 7.9.
