WHERE TO EAT The best Sarawak laksa in the world (according to food experts)

"Her laksa is firmly, and deliciously, front and centre. In Kuching, Sarawak laksa is breakfast food, found at too many stalls and coffee shops to count from 6am on. We can’t think of a better way to start the day."

"The Laksa Sarawak turned out to be rather awesome, the broth was thick and flavorful without having to be overly spicy."

"We thoroughly enjoyed it, so it deserves a big thumbs up from me!"

"This old-school kopitiam makes the most delicious laksa in town."

"The 10 Best Halal Restaurants in Kuching: Mom's Laksa - We suggest Mom’s Laksa for first-time visitors who want to try the regional dish in the safe knowledge of its halal status. The vermicelli noodle dish comes with fresh prawns and shredded chicken in a hearty broth for just a few ringgits."

"The omelette’s absence makes up with its heavenly shrimp-based broth, a right balance of sourness and saltiness."

"The Laksa is not spicy and I recommend it to those who are tomato boys or girls, you may try this out and you will not regret it."

"Sarawak Laksa is a bit different from the other santan (coconut milk) laced concoctions and it was refreshing (not sure if this is the correct adjective but it feels right to me) to get reacquainted with this superb specialty from my hometown again."

"I went for the “special” and am happy to report that the dish definitely did not disappoint. The broth was thick and flavorful, and the seafood perfectly complements the meehun and all other ingredients. I also enjoyed the pretty hot sambal as well. Will definitely put this on my list of recommendations."

"Laksa shines among all things Sarawak at Lin Li Xiang. It’s not an in-your-face kind of laksa, but a finer rendition that makes you come back for more."
