The best curry laksa in Kuala Lumpur (for me) is in Pudu. It is a stall at the corner of the road which houses the famous Tong Kee Brothers Bakery and I only know it as No. 168.
Patrons sit in a small shop unit but during lunch seating can be scarce as this stall is very popular. They serve a variety of noodles with Curry Laksa being a specialty.
The Curry Laksa here comes in a very large portion. This is the standard size! You can choose your noodle – yellow mee, kuey teow, mee hoon or a mix. The curry sauce is thick and flavoursome and not overly spicy which is what makes a good curry laksa. It is served with raw long beans and four angle beans for bite and bean sprouts (tauge). There is also tau pok (bean curd) pig skin and foo chuk (bean curd skin), fish balls and some meat. You can opt out of cockles (see hum) which I did or if you enjoy it, then by all means, request for it. One bowl of curry laksa was RM3.80 the last time I ate there. Absolutely worth it!
I also like their other clear soup noodles.
This is clear soup mee hoon with sui kow (pork dumplings). You can specify what you want in it e.g. char siew, wan tan, sui kow or any combination of it. The fishcake, fish balls and vegetables come standard. At RM3.80 (UPDATE JULY 2008: Small prices are now RM4.30) its really worth it because portions are huge.
Parking can be hard to find though but if you do manage to find parking or are in the Pudu area, do give this stall No. 168 a try.

Aiyah! I used to frequent that place but did not make it a point to try out their food. Bummer! Looks really good!
aisay! Next time try it. I only did on a whim because there were so many people eating!
Yummy, next time we go there eat together?
Oh gosh…that tau pok in the curry laksa looks sooo good!! So big and filled with the laksa kuah… *drools* And the laksa itself is the right colour. Can’t wait to try it! :p
I’ve tried it …its nice creamy but of course the taste would not beat the fresh Starbucks..as its been in the shelf for ages…
RM11.90 is quite expensive…if i can recall, i got it from Singapore at one $ 3.50
I tried a diff style of curry few days ago. It was heaven! The gravy was thick, aroma strong, and it comes with roasted pork, prawns n chicken strips! If im not mistaken the curry was suppose to come from Ipoh. Its somewhere in kepong aman puri… I think the restaurant is called K-Poh. Thats the only thing i rmb!
hah !i had a tough time finding this place as its not exactly on pudu road but near it.this place is behind berjaya times square you have to go all the way back 5 min walk the road name i think its jalan brunei. Its just as you described it not too thick but excellent.finished of my laksa with kedondong juice just perfect !
