Attention!
May result in all of you drooling by the end of this blog post ;)
Laksa Ipoh (top photo) vs. Laksa Penang (bottom picture); which is the best laksa ever people? Well I feel so blessed to be living in Malaysia because we have all sorts of food varieties. We have various kinds of laksa in Malaysia-Laksa Kedah, Laksa Kelantan, Laksa Johor and Laksa Sarawak (to name a few) and these laksas are super-scrumptious and cheap too! Please...if you tell me you have not tasted laksa ever in your life then maybe you have to consider applying another country's citizenship (joking!).
I am a big fan of Laksa Kelantan (famously known as "laksam") since my mother is from Kelantan and she encourages her three children to taste Kelantanese food which are actually delicious! I always hunt for the original laksam whenever I go back to my mother's hometown in Wakaf Bharu; and I can finish three bowls of laksam in a short minute actually!
Last week I tried Laksa Ipoh in Mid Valley and trust me that it is also tasty (see the top photo for reference). Please head on to the Food Court at Level 3 Jusco but the price for a bowl of laksa is quite costly; might as well go to Ipoh and taste the original laksa ;)
And being a Northerner (raised in Kedah and now my parents are staying in Penang) actually influences my appetite; I love spicy food especially curries and sambals but my tummy is not really tolerant to the spiciness of the meal. Okay...back to my laksa story; Laksa Penang and Kedah is a bit sour due to the use of asam gelugor in the cooking process (see the photo at the bottom for reference). I am no cooking expert so maybe other Northerners would help me out with the recipe?
P/S: I would love to try Laksa Johor and Sarawak. Anybody care to bring me to any cafe/restaurant serving these laksas?

Laksa Johor mmg sedap...unik sbb guna spaghetti...tapi tak berapa tahu la kat mana ada jual laksa johor ni...sebab tak pernah makan kat mana2 restoran lagi...hee~
> laksam sedap ye..ta pernah try lagi...hee~
cikgu, Tamarind tu asam jawa. rasanya xde english word untuk asam gelugor. nama scientific dia : Garcinia atroviridis. banyak scientific paper refer as "asam gelugor". kegunaan untuk memasam kan laksa bukan memberi rasa pedas. rasa pedas dan menyengat tu datang dari chili & umbut bunga kantan (laksa penang/kedah).
Nama scientific Tamarind pula : Tamarindus indica, which not even the same family pun. tak penah dengar lagi masuk asam jawa dalam laksa, dalam kari ada la.
nasib baik dah makannn. hehe
apa2 pown, Laksa Penang tetap terbaeekkkkk! HAHA
