Malaysian Food 6 - Curry Laksa


Curry laksa, or just "laksa", is a classic Malaysian food.

The noodles in curry laksa, as with most other noodle dishes, can be chosen from a few different types of noodles- such as yellow mee or bee hoon. The soup tastes very curry-like, and can usually get to be quite oily. As for the ingredients, there are many variations, but one rather consistent ingredient I've noticed is tau fu pok. If you don't like certain ingredients, you can always tell them to leave it out.

In the curry laksa you see above, there are fish balls, fish cake, and chicken.

You have any good curry laksa places to recommend? I think the best I've eaten is at Laksa poh (which is somewhere in OUG).
