Sarawak Laksa

IN TERMS of gastronomy, Sarawak is probably best known for its iconic eponymous Sarawak laksa, a culinary creation that emerged after World War II.

The origins of Sarawak laksa are not set in stone, but according to Edgar Ong in an article in Flavours magazine, the local legend is that a Chinese Teochew immigrant from Guangzhou named Goh Lik Teck first began peddling his noodle dish along Kuching’s Carpenter Street in 1945.
