Johore Laksa



Johore Laksa comes from the southernmost state in Peninsular Malaysia. Typical characteristics of Johorean meals include generous amount of coconut milk used and loads of fresh herbs (ulam) and spices.
Johor Laksa is an original recipe found here. Known locally as Laksa Johor, it is totally different compared to other varieties of Laksa found in other states. The Laksa Johor, done true southern style, serves Spaghetti noodle instead of the usual round, yellow noodle and is steeped in a thick fish gravy in coconut milk. The basic accompaniments are sliced onions, fresh herbs such as Daun Selasih, julienne Cucumber, and ‘Choy Pou’ which are Chinese chopped and salted pickles of radish, served with lots of Belacan Sambal and the juice of half a Lime.
