Laksa joins in food fight

Another dish has joined the food fight. This time it’s laksa — especially assam laksa which is otherwise known as Penang laksa — which is close to the hearts and palates of Penangites.

Although over time, many stalls have added a ‘lemak’ version to the laksa dish, to many, Penang laksa is still the best.

This is why Penangites were curious why Penang Laksa was not included in the list of 100 types of heritage food and drinks on the National Heritage website (www.warisan.gov.my).
