Sarawak Laksa is totally different from Penang Assam Laksa. The Sarawak Laksa soup is curry based, with it's own special Sarawak laksa sambal paste. The curry based soup is different from other curry based soup in other states. Sarawak Laksa (meehoon/vermicelli served together with egg shreds, prawns and bean sprouts in a bowl of curry (spicy sarawak laksa sambal paste) based soup with santan/coconut milk. It comes together with a small dish of belachan (shrimp paste) and a squeeze of local lime.) is nice to eat when the laksa is served hotI had this exactly on the morning prior to my departure back to Penang... I mean four hours prior to my departure :D Must taste this dish even though at the last minute or else I will regret. Hahaha... too much nice food to sample back home in Sarawak and it's impossible to finish savouring all the food. I still missed out some cos I can't eat too much at a time. The Sarawak Laksa I tasted from this particular stall is so-so only. There are nicer one else where.
I have eaten more than a hundred bowls of Sarawak Laksa already, and no doubt it's nice ... But, I still prefer Penang Assam Laksa compared to Sarawak Laksa :P Anyway, this is just my personal preference.

Hi Chen..Penang Laksa Rox, but I like the Sarawak one too, my friend made some for me. But my favourite is still the Thai Laksa with santan...mmmm.
Still Assam laksa is frequently the cause of gastroenteritis here.
Arrroooo,

Sam I Am,
Enjoy your meal..
Carcar,

U find Bilin taste weird? :P
Hahaha... Give me your share next time :D
I will sapu all :D
jellyfish,
Dunno what to say? Then just act like good boiboi & remain quiet loh :D
JoeC,
Ohhh... And, btw, I noticed u change your profile picture very frequent :D
Peace,
Singapore Laksa @ Katong Laksa ? This one I never try before.... I will put this in the to eat list if I visit Singapore.
The Penang Laksa is Assam Laksa, that's why it's sour :) Adding the shrimp paste inside & chillies ~ tasty :D and I like it very much...
Thanks :)
My ranking:
1. Singapore laksa - very rich flavour with thicker beehoon
2. Sarawak laksa - the thin beehoon is nice...but the 1/2 sliced prawn is too little
3. Penang laksa - wierd taste (my personal opinion)
You should eat all three, the one which does not give you diarrhoea is the good. The one you still eat even though you get diarrhoea, is the best!
cousin Daniel,
Then I must give Singapore laksa a try :)
Sounds delicious :D
Doc,
Hahhaha.. U are so hilarious :)
This is a good one :D
Chen,
I still love Sarawak Laksa. ;)
sharl612,
Yeah, most Sarawakians that I know of love Sarawak Laksa..
I love it as well, but just that I prefer Penang Assam Laksa more :)
Huh? S'pore adopted the laksa already ah? You get the same sort of curry laksa in JB as well, actually. heh. but maybe it's 'cos both places r so close to each others... *shrug*
Anyway... do u know that it's really really bad to read your blog in the middle of the nite when I'm dying of hunger?? sighhh... *tummy growling*
yeepei,
It's time for me to visit Singapore again :D
Hahaha... then read the posting only after u makan loh :P
I love laksa... Penang Asam Laksa and Laksa Lemak! Simply irresistable!
Must try Sarawak Laksa when I have the chance. Wow! It's served with prawns?
