Laksa (Jawi: لقس) is a spicy noodle dish popular in Southeast Asia.[2][3] Laksa consists of various types of noodles, most commonly thick rice noodles, with toppings such as chicken, prawns or fish. Most variations of laksa are prepared with a rich and spicy coconut curry soup or a broth seasoned with asam (tamarind or gelugur).
Originating from Peranakan Chinese cuisine,[1] laksa recipes are commonly served in Singapore,[4] Indonesia,[5] and Malaysia.[6][7]
