Laksa

Laksa is another famous delicacy in Malaysia. It is actually a spicy noodle soup with an assortment of different contents depending on the type of laksa. In Malaysia, we have the normal curry laksa, assam laksa, Johor laksa, Sarawak laksa and others. The most popular versions have to be the curry laksa (made of coconut-based curry soup and contains bean curds, fish cakes, fish sticks, shrimps, cockles and your selection of noodles), and assam laksa which is also commonly known as Penang laksa (the taste is a mixture of spiciness and sourness and may content ingredients such as mackerel, onions, cucumbers, red chilli, pineapples, mints, etc). You can find the normal curry laksa in most food courts, hawker centres and restaurants selling local food. However, other more unique laksa dishes such as Johor laksa, Penang laksa and Sarawak laksa might require you to travel to the specialty shops in order to try them.
