Laksa
Laksa is a popular spicy noodle soup which is a combination of Chinese and Malay cuisine. Laksa consists of rice noodles or rice vermicelli with chicken, prawn or fish, served in spicy soup; either based on rich and spicy curry coconut milk, or based on sour asam (tamarind or gelugur). It can be found in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand The type of laksa is based upon the soup-base employed in its recipe; either rich and savoury coconut milk, fresh and sour asam (tamarind, gelugur or kokum), or the combination of the two. There are three basic types of laksa: curry laksa, asam laksa and other variant that can be identified as either curry or asam laksa. Curry laksa is a coconut milk curry soup with noodles, while asam laksa is a sour, most often tamarind-based, soup with noodles. Thick rice noodles also known as laksa noodles are most commonly used, although thin rice vermicelli (bee hoon or mee hoon) are also common, and some recipes might create their own rice noodle from scratch. Some variants might use other types of noodles; Johor laksa for example uses spaghetti, while a fusion recipe might use Japanese udon noodle. (from Wikipedia)
Where the traditional Malaccan Nyonya Laksa is served with a choice of noodles in the spicy gravy with a touch of coconut milk and chopped cucumber, bean sprout, shrimp, cockles, fishballs, and egg. The creamy broth with the light spiciness is just as good as it is and I would give double thumbs up on it.
The Asam Laksa is awesomely good. We love the asam laksa so much and we ordered another bowl of it. The asam laksa comes with the light sourish blend not overpowering and yet the broth is thick. You can find generous portion of mackerel fish and the noodles are slurplicious good.
The Thai Laksa here is not much my favorite as it give us a mild taste of the usual laksa we usually had. The asam laksa comes to be milder version.
Penang Asam Laksa is somehow pretty good here. The asam laksa comes good with the sourish and spicy sensation. Slurpilicious!
If you are a fans of Sarawak Laksa, you should be enjoying this. Using the paste all the way from Sarawak, the bowl of Sarawak Laksa is packed with the good serving of shredded omelette, chicken meat and prawns. The taste is just perfect and it goes well with the thick noodles which is being used
Lemak Laksa is also called the Siam Laksa which is more to the creamy side. The Siam Laksa here comes pretty good with the creamy thick broth. And in Laksa Kitchen, they serve with a crackers by the side.
