The noodles dishes are definitely something to check out, especially the Sticky Noodle with gravy served with vegetables, beef, chicken or seafood. A small portion starts from Rs 750 and can go up to Rs 1500 for a seafood option.
Loon Tao Chinese Restaurant
A cosy restaurant by the beach, Loon Tao is an ideal place to catch up with your friends over some drinks and great food. Whilst highly known for their Nasi, the Noodle dishes are equally good and are a must-try. The Malaysian-style Seafood Noodle, small priced Rs 1190, and the large Rs 1790 is a favorite of many. The Spicy Chicken Noodle With Mushroom is another good choice, which costs about Rs. 790 for a small Rs 790 portion, while the and large one costs about Rs 1290.
Laksa Noodle Bar
Laksa Noodle Bar in Thimbirigasyaya does some unique, super authentic noodle preparations. The Prawn Curry Laksa Lemak prepared with Malaysian spice, coconut milk broth, egg, and bean thread noodles, fried tofu, bean sprouts, and bok choy is as close to the ones you would find in the streets of Malaysia. It's priced at Rs 1405. This dish explodes with flavour and can be also considered as a comfort food.
Wok To Box
We instantly fell for the cute packaging at Wok to Box; noodles packed to the brim in cute little Chinese takeaway boxes. Unlike the other mentions in this article, these guys let you customize your noodles, from the base to the sauce to the meats you want. We went for an egg noodle base with chicken and prawn, spiced up with the kochchi sauce which came to an even Rs 900. With plenty of chicken and prawn mixed through, it was a good deal and we were left very satisfied.
Wayside Thai Café
The Wayside does an epic Pad Thai Noodles loaded with stir-fried chicken and peanuts for that crunch factor. It is one of the best Pad Thais we’ve come across to this date. As the name suggests, they serve Thai cuisine and they do it well. Their dishes are very reasonably priced and the portions are very filling. The Pad Thai was only Rs 800.
