Anyone have leads on good laksa at other joints in the area? I have a craving...

I was disappointed as i was expecting some batonnet of fresh pineapple (which i believe to be an important ingredient in the Penang style of assam laksa) and there was wasn't any the last time i tried it. If you are thinking of the other kind of laksa which is actually curry mee noodles with a rich aromatic coconut broth, then you will fare better at Penang. They call it Curry mee yong tau fu and it's quite good. Tue Aug 04 09:26:32 -0700 2009 4915957 106428 nasilemak
