Jimmy's is slowly working its way into my favourite lunchtime destinations. As a frequent visitor I have sampled their laksa's more than once and can share with you that I'm a massive fan.

I've introduced about 4 foodie friends to Jimmy's and all agree that the laksas are up there in taste. It's the pokey, intimate dining space that needs work. On my last visit Jimmy was complaining loudly as he made his way through the cramped space clearing tables. He's on the lookout for a larger CBD venue but you know city prices....

However, in the meantime you can enjoy a chicken laksa for the bargain basement price of $7. Today, we arrived and were pleasantly surprised to find the place almost empty. With our table secured we paid our money and were handed 2 x chicken laksas within moments.

The steaming bowls were a sight to behold - they were packed full of thin noodles, tofu, chicken, shallots, bean sprouts etc. And the taste? Well, let's just say they are the perfect cure for blocked sinuses! The bowls were so large that we just couldn't finish them....and believe me I've tried several times. The spicy soup was very hot but very, very good.

By the time we had finished our laskas there was a queue out the entrance. Jimmy's is a CBD institution. Get there before it disappears!
