Summary[edit]

Description

I love a good laksa, and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laksa#Curry_laksa" rel="nofollow">Laksa Lemak</a>, listed as Old Town Lemak Laksa on the menu, is a zingy Thai-inspired dish, not dissimilar to Thai Laksa. While it is rich with coconut milk, it also flavoured with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etlingera_elatior" rel="nofollow">torch ginger flower</a> and laksa leaf / Vietnamese mint. You also get a small dish of intensely fishy 虾膏 fermented prawn paste that adds a nice depth and sweetness to the laksa. The sprigs of mint on the top further help to freshen up these noodles.

Instead of the 福建面 yellow Hokkien noodles or 米粉 rice vermicelli, the typical Laksa Lemak is served with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lai_fun" rel="nofollow">瀨粉 tapioca starch noodles</a>, chewy, rubbery, jelly-like noodles, which are one of my favourites!
