Where's the best place to have authentic Laksa Sarawak in Klang Valley???

Ahhhh.... Help me!!!
I am so craving for Laksa Sarawak again... 

Was falling in my first love with Laksa Sarawak when I had a business trip at Kuching few months ago.

You know what, I enjoyed my first moment with Laksa Sarawak at 8.30AM!

They served it at breakfast time! But waallllaaaaa! PERFECT!

I had the Laksa Sarawak for the second time few weeks ago also for my breakfast in my office.

It was well prepared by one of my colleagues, Kak Syeera... a Sarawakian that permanently stay in USJ :)

These are the pictures of Laksa Sarawak. I googled it of course...

So nice...

Wow....

nyum...nyum...

So tasty!

Red Warriors win the 2010 Malaysia Cup

CONGRATULATIONS KELANTAN!!!!!

The Red Warriors created history tonight when they defeated Negri Sembilan in a thrilling Malaysia Cup final that had spectators on the edge of their seats the entire game.

Kelantan beat Negri Sembilan 2-1 at the National Stadium Bukit Jalil to hoist the Malaysia Cup for the first time.

The victory is celebrated by Kelantan football fans, while the ongoing Galas by-election took a back seat today as fans in the state focused on the match up.

In addition to the win, tomorrow will be a public holiday for Kelantan to celebrate the long-awaited victory and rest before resuming work on Monday.

Wow... What a history! I bet my Monday in office will surely havoc with the stories especially  from my boss himself.

No doubt instead of all the controversies, The Red Warrior are still the best!
