Noodles dishes are aplenty in Malaysia, served in a multitude of ways. One of the most popular is laksa, a spicy creation that comes in a few variations. Do you like to eat laksa? I like it much. Now, let we go through about this delicious kind of food. Assam (tamarind) laksa is the most widely available, and it is common knowledge that the best offering is found in Penang. This version f laksa involves noodles served in a spicy, sweet-sour brouth with generous chunk of fish meat. Garnishing include slivers of pineapple, cucumber, onion, and red chilli. A dallop of salty shrimp paste provides the finishing touch. the assam laksa is thus like a melting pot of various flavours that are typical of the Malaysian palate. It is usual served with lai fun, a thick white or transparent noodles, but is also enjoyed with thin, spaghetti-like yellow noodles. You can also find laksa Johor, nyonya laksa, curry laksa and Thai laksa at food stall and restaurants, each with its own distinct flavour and equally appetising. =)
