Best Laksa in Melaka

Written by Updated ago

A fruit of Malay and Chinese descent, laksa is a noodle dish by the Peranakans and is also a heritage Malaysian food. This dish has many variations as recipes were spread differently while some others have created their own. Either way, each and every Malaysian laksa is highly appreciated and cherished by both locals and tourists (unless you can't take the spiciness that comes with it). So be sure to check out these top favourites in the heritage state of Malacca!

    Calanthe Art CafePork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21Alco free 9fb1f2c65edc2c1eaf4e8b24402d108dd33cc2bc71f0fb0022a54c3c390a66c8

    Beating stereotypes, Calanthe Art Cafe serves one of the very best laksas despite being a proper cafe. We can not deny that there are continuing speculations that Malaysian dishes are best at traditionally born Malaysian restaurants in stead of modern cafes. However, many have come to recognize the authenticity and palatability of the nyonya laksa at Calanthe's! It may not be as affordable as the laksas at hawker stalls but we say it is worth the price as you can definitely expect a more hygienic experience in the cafe.

    The rich aroma of coconut milk wafting through the air signifies that a Nyonya restaurant is in the proximity. Here at Nancy’s Kitchen, you are presented with a simmering bowl of curry coated noodles, filled with a piquant flavour. Generous toppings like fish balls, dried tofu, grated cucumbers, and fried onions add to the perfection of their Nyonya Laksa - a recreation of authentic Peranakan flavours from the proprietor's grandmother's recipe. 

    Tips

    Keep an eye out for a small banner.

    Things to expect

    A variety of Nyonya dishes, do expect to queue up to an hour on busy days.

    Jonker 88 Pork free d90bfb235d64e73ff14d8ad65b89aaab71a3af43962907cb9cd494af0a63fa21

    Jonker 88 is best known for their array of refreshing desserts. However, what good are cooling desserts without some sweat-inducing laksa? The curry laksa here is aptly named Baba Laksa and has a unique sweet flavour from the use of coconut milk, typical of Southern-styled laksa dishes. Served with julienned cucumber, sliced onions, dried tofu, prawns and a spoonful of tuna flakes, this interesting concoction is vaguely reminiscent of Asam Laksa but without the sourness from tamarind.

    Tips

    Check out some interesting archaeological artifacts on the walls.

    Things to expect

    Tourists, crowds, people.

    Violet Station is probably your next favourite place to shop when it comes to searching for hijabs, shawls and fashion apparels. While you’re deciding which colour that best matches your skin tone, indulge into its “Laksa Penang” here. Laden with slices of a hard-boiled egg, onion and cucumber, this tamarind-tang, bowl of noodle is attributed to its rich flavours and savoury taste. If that is not enough to stimulate your appetite, zest up your meal by squeezing the lime halves before you start digging in.

    Tips

    Things to expect

    A modish cafe, reasonably priced.
