If I have it after 1pm, u can be sure I'll be prowling through the house til the wee hours of the morning. The HK version of laksa tends to be too watery n non aromatic. No kick also. Hi Ben,

No. U Good is not the same one. Here ... take a look at the Google Map: http://goo.gl/FK1RB . U Good is the one with the orange signboard and Ho Yuen is a few doors further down. Oh BTW, the "couple" are not married to one another. At one point, the picture of the couple were replace with just the man (can't remember his name now ... "Dr" Jaime?). I heard that the woman's husband objected to that picture. LOL! Today the vanity pictures are no longer there anymore.

I definitely feel a lot more snapped awake by coffee. Black tea has more caffeine than green tea, but coffee has much more than any tea. I definitely feel a lot more snapped awake by coffee.
