All iii Laksa were served amongst same ingredients (Prawn, taupok, beancurd skin, egg etc.), the Baba laksa comes amongst sparse beehoon, whereas the other 2 had thick beehoon (translucent type used inward Penang laksa).

Both were expert exactly non great, I would swallow the ngoh hiang over again though.
