The most popular dish is Laksa as the brother of Mrs. Lee, Ah Seng mentioned that their Laksa is cooked with Thailand’s style. They learned on the steps to cook this homemade Laksa soup base by adding variety of ingredients with their own secret recipe and condensed into thick soup. From day-to-day, they reviewed their customers’ preferences and improve the Laksa until the soup is now with distinct sour, spicy and delicious taste. This special Laksa then become well-known to every household in Kampar for 12 years.
