Holiday memory — Laksa that transported me back

I first ate Laksa on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the richly spiced and coconut-sweet quality I remembered. belacan shrimp paste was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

Malaysian cuisine reflects the Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous Orang Asli traditions of a multicultural society. It was the a Penang hawker stall memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. teh tarik was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
