Mom's Laksa @ Matang

Laksa Sarawak (or Sarawak Laksa) is one of the signature dish in the Land of The Hornbill. This guilt pleasure dish is a must-eat for the local.

As one of the local's favorite, Laksa Sarawak is available everywhere. Most of the coffee shop have a Laksa Sarawak stall. However, the most popular stall and the local's favorite are Tinot's Laksa, Haji Mannan's Laksa and Mom's Laksa.

Among the three, Mom's Laksa serve the best Laksa Sarawak in Kuching. So far none can beat Mom's Laksa fiery thick soup - heavy and delicious.

There's something so additive about the thick fragrant soup - Mom's Laksa secret for the perfect balance between the laksa paste and the coconut juice flavoring mix, with 'sambal belacan' and fresh lime juice in a good measure. Credit to Mom's Laksa's generosity with the chicken slices, jumbo prawns and omelet strips.

('Sambal belacan' for Laksa Sarawak is usually made of grind mixture of shrimp paste, chilies, salt and lime juice.)

It's not surprising when Mom's Laksa opened another branch in Matang sometimes in December 2012 to cater the flowing crowds.
