Details
Paprika is just up the road from Magnet Mart in Belconnen. The interesting thing about this Laksa is that it is a sour laksa – once you try it you’ll know what I mean.
I found the ingredients, style and pretty much everything else comparable, but just not quite a Sammys Kitchen Laksa, which is not saying that it was bad, just not as good. If I’m up in Belconnen Area needing a Laksa fix, I’ll probably duck across the road to Can Tho, but I’d probably return to Paprika to try something else from the menu as they are going in a different direction with their dishes than other conventional Canberra Laksa venues.
8/10.
