MUAR BAKRI LAKSA

It may not look like much at first glance, but it's at the top of all the city's top lists. The restaurant is one of Malaysia's 50 best laksas (every Malaysian restaurant serves laksa), one of the city's Top 7 best restaurants, and its reputation extends to the shores of Singapore. Here, the spicy, rather light broth simmers for a minimum of 3 hours. Chili pepper is added according to your tolerance, and if you ask for it "full spicy", you're likely to fall off your chair.
