Luscious Malaysian Curry Laksa

Malaysian Curry Laksa

With an artful composition, an ambrosial aroma, a flavor from paradise, and a satisfaction that surpasses understanding, it’s no wonder I spent my last 5 Ringgits on a delightful bowl of Malaysian Curry Laksa and was forced to walk myself to the airport…

Curry Laksa is a combination of flavors that you dream about having in your mouth all at once.  The creamy coconut curry soup blends with the soft rice noodles as the shredded chicken, boiled shrimp, and fried tofu puffs, play their part by soaking up the curry.  Fresh herbs, a squeeze of lime, and chili sambal sauce, all work to boost the flavor to Utopian heights.

Curry Laksa is similar to eating Thai Kanom Jeen but possibly with a richer and maybe slightly heartier blend.  I gobbled it down, thoroughly enjoying it till the last drop of liquid did us part and then continuing to lick the bowl spic-and-span.

An iced lemon tea, made sweeter than candy, did an amazing job of cooling my sweating brow, which is inevitable while partaking of a hot bowl of Laksa in a super humid location.

As I said farewell to my final 5 Ringgits at the mercy of the contents of a plastic bowl, acknowledging that I would have to trek the 6 km to the airport, I knew I had made the right decision…
