Laksa is amongst
the best known and loved of hawker fare in Penang. A bowl of steamed
spaghetti-sized rice vermicelli is first generously garnished with
finely sliced vegetables including onions, cucumber, red chillis,
pineapple, lettuce, mint and pink bunga kantan (ginger buds).
Onto the mixture is
poured a steaming hot curry soup that is sour and thick with fish meat.
A spoonful of fish paste is provided for those who favour the addition.
While for decades, Penangites and visitors only knew this variety, a lemak (coconut milk) version was subsequently introduced as an alternative.
