What Laksa is
Coconut curry noodle soup with prawns or chicken.
Laksa is listed as a dish in the Singapore guide, where the index tags it noodles. The index uses those labels to make an unfamiliar menu legible. What it cannot tell you is how this particular kitchen seasons, fries or plates the dish, so leave room to ask.
