Laksa Soup 🍜 For The W!

Honestly enough can't be said about @krapow.ca located in the heart of Montreal. This unassuming spot in one of Montreal hottest neighbourhoods has been serving up delicious Thai food now for 5 delicious years. I'm just so upset at myself it took me this long to come visite!

I have to start off with one of the stars of the show the Laksa. Absolutely show stopper of a soup, can't remember the last time I've had such amazing depth of flavour in a broth. Truly beautiful balance between savory, heat & umami. A elite move if u wanna take this dish to the next level in my opinion is to add the Sambal Belacan Chicken on top. It adds a layer of crunch & texture overall to the dish that to be really adds. You can also add anyone of their 3 in house Sambals to it, all were just amazing. The noodles had amazing bounce to them, the toppings all perfectly curated. Honestly a 10/10 dish, FOODGASMIC💦 to say the least! & I like to add, everything they have is gluten free!

Next we have the Beef Rendang, origins now focusing on Indonesia & boy this dish really transported me there! It's was so flavour packed full of Spices & herbs, slowly cooked for hours & hours that the meat just feel apart in yoyr mouth. Honestly I can't believe I've only ever had this dish 3 times in my life & this time had to have been my favorite tbh. This rich, sweet & savoury Stew is just what I needed.

Last but not least we have the famous beef Krapow for what they are famous for. Honestly I've only ever had this dish made with pork so I was wondering what the difference flavour notes & textures might be. Truthfully, really pleasantly surprised. Not to much heat which was a little odd because normally every time I've had this dish it really just burns your face off. But I guess they have to keep it a little calmer for the whities LOL. But again really well balanced dish especially with the fried egg on top it really lends a richness to the entire meal you break it up & eat it all together really well done. My only thing if I were to give anything to improve or add to this dish definitely a little bit of heat, & cripier beef, but still 11/10!

See the food? ABSOLUTELY BODIED IT. My wife loved the hell out of the faux meat krapow & I couldn't agree more. I got the beef rendang while her mom got the papaya salad. & YUMMERS. Also, the lady working here is super helpful too. She even went & helped us with parking in the area since we're not local. Amazing place will definitely come again for out next visit.

Le poulet au sambal était un délice. J'en aurais pris un peu plus pour le prix, mais la qualité était présente.

I don't know, to me personally it's not really authentic Thai cuisine. The spices & all are different. Not for me.

Eccellente, uno dei miei migliori posti per cenare a Montreal. Menu corto, servizio cordiale e atmosfera rilassante. Bravi!

Sometimes, simpler is better, as long as you don't compromise on flavors which isn't the case. Food was tasty, earthy & plenty. Thank you!

This is such a cute little spot tucked away off the main street. While a limited menu, what they do, they do very well. Great little spot for lunch if you are in the area.
