Welcome to laksania.com

The Place For Laksa
We aim to introduce a new concept eatery and specialise in an innovative menu of local and fusion dishes based on the unique and flavourful herb, daun kesom (more commonly known as the laksa leaf). At Laksania, we intend to translate the heartiness of laksa into a series of great comfort foods to engage the most discerning palette.

A Melting Pot of Flavours and Cultures
There is no dish which crosses as many cultures as laksa. If the Italians have pasta with its variety of sauces and ways of preparation, Asia has its laksa!

What does laksa mean? Some say it mean "many" because laksa dishes blend a diverse quantity of spices and condiments into the mix. The origins of this uniquely East Asian dish are hard to trace. Laksa in Indonesian means sepuluh ribu or "10 thousand", a possible reference to the many fine strands of white vermicelli noodles in the dish. However, others believe laksa was the culinary creation of early Straits Chinese who had assimilated the culture and food palette of the Malay community.

With the exception for laksa leaves, there isn't a definitive set of ingredients that goes into it. The stock, condiments, garnishing and even the noodles vary from one culture to another. Popular here are 2 distinct types of laksa, namely, the tamarind-based Assam Laksa and the coconut-based Laksa Lemak, although there are many variations of these types.

An Exciting Culinary Tour
In crafting our innovative menu, our patrons will be taken on a mouth-watering tour of these diverse cultures. The menu incorporates variants of laksa from South East Asia; which includes the assam-based Penang Laksa, laksa from Kelantan and Sarawak Laksa together with our local favourite Singaporean Laksa Lemak. Laksania will also introduce laksa-based dishes from the further reaches of Burma and Thailand.

Blending the unmistakeable fragrance of laksa pesto with other spices, we have also created a variety of east-meets-west fusion dishes such as Laksa Pesto Pasta, and Laksa Fried Rice.

A Laksalicious Dining Experience
Laksania will bring the advent of high-quality dining at down-to-earth prices. We strive to reach out to the market at large and welcome families, executives and teenagers to savour the exciting world of our laksalicious delights!

Diners will be treated to sumptuous dishes that are prepared with care and served with professionalism in clean, modern yet cosy surroundings.

In this respect, the variety of our delightful dishes perfectly complements the fresh and chic restaurant design, deftly uniting the homeliness of the food served in a warm and inviting ambience.
