Fried assam laksa and RM14.90 lunch sets at Eats+ in Bandar Sri Damansara

Assam laksa usually arrives as a bowl of sour, fishy broth. At Eats+ Kitchen & Cafe, the signature takes those same flavours and fries them. Thick noodles are tossed with egg in a tangy, reddish sauce, then crowned with plump prawns, shredded cucumber, sliced red onion, pineapple and a wedge of lime. Our editor's verdict is short and clear: the fried assam laksa is very good, and just looking at the plate makes you want to dig in.

Diners on Google say much the same. The fried assam laksa with prawns is the dish reviewers keep coming back for, and they describe it as a dry version that still tastes unmistakably like assam laksa. If you prefer it the classic way, reviewers who tried the soupy assam laksa mention a generous portion with plenty of fish.

Our editor came for a group meal with colleagues and ordered from the set lunches, which start from RM14.90. Some of the sets let you pick two side dishes, so you can build a proper plate. In our editor's photos, a crisp fried chicken leg comes with rice, keropok, cucumber and sambal, with braised eggs and another small side dish next to it. Another set is a golden chicken chop with gravy, meatballs, broccoli and carrots, plus a bowl of soup. There is also a claypot of noodle soup with egg ribbons and fish cake, finished with a sprinkle of crispy topping. That's a lot of choice for a weekday lunch at this price.

Beyond the signature, reviewers point to the noodles in general. Spicy pan mee, fried bee hoon and a bitter gourd and egg mee hoon soup with pork and fish cake all get warm mentions, and one diner enjoyed the Western dishes with cheese. People also describe the space as clean, bright and roomy, which makes it an easy pick for a team lunch or a family meal.

Don't skip the drinks. Our editor says the tea and coffee here are good, with a pretty solid standard. Reviewers agree on the coffee, describing it as smooth, aromatic and not too sweet, and some mention that the set lunch comes with tea or coffee, so it's worth asking when you order.

For our editor, it all adds up to a place worth eating at: a signature dish with personality, fair prices at lunch and drinks you will want to finish.
