A cross-cultural dish found, with variations, in Singapore and neighbouring countries. The famed Singapore Laksa is of Peranakan origin, that is, born from the intermarriage of Chinese and Malay cultures. Typically served with thick rice noodle, this rich coconut gravy laced with fresh herbs and spices captures the Peranakans’ love for spicy, full-bodied flavours.
