What is Curry Laksa?
Curry Laksa is one of Southeast Asia’s most beloved noodle soups — a rich, spicy, coconut-based broth traditionally packed with noodles, fried tofu, and a medley of vibrant toppings.
Originating from Malaysia and Singapore, Curry Laksa beautifully blends Chinese and Malay culinary traditions, offering a bold and comforting flavour that's captivated food lovers worldwide.
At Pam Pam, we’ve created a plant-based version of this classic dish, preserving all its authentic flavours while making it suitable for vegan and vegetarian lifestyles.

A Quick Look at the Origins of Curry Laksa

While every region has its variation, classic Curry Laksa typically features:
-
Yellow noodles or rice vermicelli
-
A creamy, spicy broth made with coconut milk
-
Protein like chicken, prawns, or tofu
-
Fresh herbs, bean sprouts, and sambal (chilli paste)
Fun Fact: In Penang and parts of Singapore, "Curry Mee" is another name for Curry Laksa!

What Makes a Great Vegan Curry Laksa?
Creating an outstanding plant-based Laksa means focusing on three essential elements:
1. A Rich and Spicy Broth
Our vegan broth uses a fragrant mix of lemongrass, turmeric, chilli, and coconut milk — replicating the creamy, slightly fiery character of traditional Laksa without any animal products.
2. Quality Plant-Based Toppings
We feature crispy fried tofu puffs in our Laksa Noodles for their unbeatable texture and ability to soak up all that flavour.
3. Fresh Garnishes
Things like coriander, bean sprouts, and a wedge of lime can elevate the dish with pops of brightness and crunch.
