Thus, we’ve prepared a list of great PJ Laksa joints for you.

1. D’Laksa

You can purchase a bowl of laksa anytime while you’re shopping. Moreover, the idea for this innovation came from a Penang-born who had a passion for laksa and local cuisine. Although many doubt the quality of commercialized brands, don’t worry! This bowl of laksa is confirmed delicious. We also recommended adding prawn paste for some extra flavour and oomph.
