Experience the lively jostling flavours of an authentic laksa with Laksa Lemak bend: it's a fragrant mix of warm, sunny spices, crushed tropical leaves and sweet pungent shrimp.

A popular Southeast Asian dish and one of the national foods of Singapore and Malaysia, laksa is a thick spicy coconut noodle soup typically topped with prawns, cockles, fish cakes and beansprouts. Making it is joyful in its sheer simplicity.
