Sarawak Laksa is one of those noodle dishes that people will have really high expectations and are willing to hunt down for, and for good reason too.

There’s nothing like its rich, complex broth of shrimp, chicken, and a plethora of spices and herbs for the unique taste.

So if you’re up for a bit of adventuring to feed your hungry stomach, why not give these a try?

1. Signature Noodle Noodle, SS15

If you’re looking for authentic Sarawak Laksa, this noodle shop has it. The place is run by Sarawakians and they proudly display a Sarawak flag in the store itself too. Not only can you get Sarawakian fare here, there are also interesting add-ons and sides like cutlets and dumplings.

The Sarawak Laksa here is rich and brothy, with a delicious tang from the lime. Although Sarawak Laksa traditionally has prawns in it, here you can choose to skip the prawns for RM4 less.

4. I-Tea House, Ara Damansara

The prawns served here are quite large and the broth is very flavourful. However, you will need to be quite patient as there is usually a long wait unless you have impeccable timing.

The dumplings here are highly recommended as well!
