The laksa noodles here are thick rice noodles, and each bowl of laksa comes with a big piece of crispy prawn cracker which goes really well with the laksa broth. This restaurant serves many different types of laksa, and all are equally delicious!

There are many laksa stalls in Teluk Kechai but, among all these stalls, Zakaria Laksa Teluk Kechai is one of the most top-rated ones! According to the owner Zakaria, they use either mackerel scad or sardine to make the broth so that it’s not too thick and well-balanced. The hard-boiled egg is not served together with the laksa. So if you want the eggs, you can just grab one from the table, break the shells, remove it and put it in your laksa.
Just like all the other laksa utara, each bowl of Zakaria’s laksa comes with a dollop of orange colour coconut sambal? called sambal nyok. Each table also comes with pulut panggang for you to eat with your laksa.

If you ever come to Perlis, this is the must-go place for laksa kola! Throughout the years, this restaurant has been gaining popularity and received many visits from the media. The noodles are painstakingly made by the owner through a process that requires many steps.
Their laksa is said to be “lemak” with a hint of sweetness that comes from the fresh mackerel used and is not very spicy. One special thing about this restaurant is that their laksa is served with pulut udang (shrimp glutinous rice) kuih spera (looks like curry puff with coconut sambal filling).

Laksa Lubuk is located deep in a kampung and serves only laksa with no fancy condiments or toppings. However, they are still able to attract visitors from the city.

Also, their laksa is cooked over a firewood stove, rare right?

Johor laksa can rarely be found at hawker stores or restaurants. That is because it requires Dorab wolf-herring and other spices, making it a pretty ?costly dish to make. Moreover, the profit margin is low, as selling it at a high price might not be a good idea. So Pondok Santapan Larkin's Johor laksa is a rare find indeed.
The spaghetti noodles (Yes! Johor laksa uses spaghetti noodles) go well with the thick gravy. They are also not stingy with the ingredients, so you can definitely expect a plate of hearty Johor laksa here.
📍 Address: No. 8, Jalan Puyuh Larkin Jaya, Larkin, 80350, Johor
