Malaysia produces two magnificent and entirely distinct versions of this noodle soup: Penang's Asam Laksa, a sour tamarind broth packed with mackerel and shrimp paste, and Curry Laksa, a rich coconut milk soup loaded with prawns, tofu puffs, and cockles. Both are ranked among the world's greatest dishes and the two styles spark fierce regional loyalty among Malaysians.
