For a bargain foodie high, hit this cult-status corner shop. The star is the namesake laksa: thin rice noodles in a light curry broth made with coconut milk and coriander, and topped with shrimps and cockles. Order a side of otah (spiced mackerel cake grilled in a banana leaf) and wash it down with a cooling glass of lime juice.
