Laksa and Lok-Lok Wednesdays at Etta
Cruise through the middle of the week, as this Wednesday-only special features elevated Malaysian flavours that help keep the cold away.
Overview
Hump Day can feel especially tough when the winter chill descends on Melbourne. However, the good news is that the much-loved Brunswick East restaurant Etta has a new special that will have you looking forward to the middle of the week, even when the temperature drops.
Every Wednesday throughout winter, Etta Head Chef Lorcán Kan will serve his renowned coconut curry laksa in the front bar for $30. Featuring an aromatic broth brimming with lemongrass, garlic, makrut lime, galangal and chilli, the dish sees egg and rice noodles combine with house-made golden tofu, fresh herbs and punchy Nonya sambal.
Plus, this winter-warming laksa is served with a deep-fried school prawn lok-lok skewer. Inspired by classic Malaysian street-food vendors, there are more lok-lok options to explore for $8 each, such as house-made fish balls of flame tail snapper, arrowhead squid brushed in sambal and cooked over hot coals, and woodfired satay curry-marinated chicken.
If you're keen to experience this midweek special, don't wait to make a booking. Kan and the kitchen are producing just 20 serves each Wednesday, so make sure you get your plans in order to slurp down this bowl of goodness.
