A dish that tells its story — Laksa reviewed

You can taste history in Laksa if you know what to look for. Penang is considered the food capital of Malaysia and rivals Singapore for hawker excellence. The bold and complex character reflects those layers — coconut cream doesn't appear by accident; it came from a specific tradition.

The a Penang hawker stall setting made sense of it. You understand the food differently when the context is right. Milo alongside is part of that story. Some food is just fuel. Laksa, properly made, is something more. This version told the story well.
