Special food in Sarawak ( Sarawak Laksa )

Sarawak Laksa

Sarawak Laksa is unique in that it is a fusion between Penang Assam Laksa and the Curry Laksa. It is both tamarind based and coconut milk based.

It is not as greasy (“lemak”) as curry laksa and it is not as sourish as the Assam Laksa.

The Sarawak Laksa is essentially vermicelli rice noodles (bee hoon), cooked in a shrimp-based broth that is made to thicken with coconut milk.

This dish is served with generous amounts of crunchy bean sprouts, a few boiled prawns and garnished with shredded chicken and slivers of egg omelette.

For added spice, there's the thick sambal paste that is usually served on the side. you can squeeze some lime juice (limau kasturi) into your dish as well.”
