Cafe D'Lite has THE BEST laksas in Vancouver - better than your chain Malaysian/Thai restaurants and other small-scale locales. It's a punch of flavour that's complex yet simple and soothing at the same time. If you like the intensity of greater heat, simply request it extra spicy and they'll deliver. You'll forget the surroundings are "meh" as soon as you enter into your world of hot comforting laksa. If you break out of your trance, you'll realize everyone else around you crammed into the modest and clean, little eatery are also in their zone. It's kinda pricey for casual dining, but when you have the craving - especially on miserable, wet Vancouver days - it doesn't matter!

Cafe D'Lite is a place where you go To Eat. Plain and simple. Nothing fancy. It's authentic asian on the city's west side - and that truly is a hard thing to find.
