Just located right opposite the yong taufoo stall is this famous Madras Lane Curry Laksa. there are 2 stores located just right in front of the store. One of the left and one on the right.
Do note that there are dispute within both stalls. Do ask do they serve it to the place where you are seated. If you are seated on another side zone of the other stall, you wont get your noodle as I was keen to try both. So I could not try both at the same time.
