    If you have tried Laksa at any of the Malaysian restaurants in Vancouver and would like to eat Laksa at home (you can add more meat and ingredients at home and cheaper to eat at home), then you are in luck because there are now Laksa Instant Noodles available from T&T.

    T&T carries 2 brands:
    1. Prima Taste Singapore Laksa
    2. MyKuali Penang White Curry (Laksa)

    I think imgur was having issues but the images work now.

    How much are they at T&T? They were rated #1 and #2 for 2014 on a ramen review blog.

    I believe imgur was having issues, which is why I deleted those test messages.

    Prima is $2.99 for a pack. MyKuali is $5.99 for a 4-pack bundle which works out to $1.49 per pack.

    Between the two, MyKuali is spicier, I like spicier curry so I would prefer MyKuali.

    Prima is creamier as shown in the photos you posted.

    Not surprised that they were voted #1 and #2.

    Now I'm hoping they sell just the laksa paste, I can then make my own laksa at home with chicken and real noodles.

    Prima Taste does sell Laksa paste on its own, you can find it at T&T. If you're ever near Surrey, there's Hen Long supermarket which sells a lot of different pastes, I think I've seen multiple brands of Laksa paste there. Some companies also call it Assam Laksa or Siam Laksa because there's multiple types of Laksa.

    I use the brand Tean's Gourmet for their curry laksa base. It's widely available including at Walmart.

    Thank you guys for the info. I will definitely check out Prima Taste's Laksa paste at T&T , Hen Long supermarket and Tean's Gourmet at Walmart. Looking forward to have laksa at home with "real" noodles and all the meat I want on the laksa.

    Favourite restaurant for Laksa is Penang Delight. The other good one that I would go to is Bo Laksa.

    @Bill Speaking of Bo Laksa King, they had an ownership and management change and it's now just called Laksa King. Have you been since it changed? I used to visit Bo Laksa all the time when they were near Joyce. The new location was a bit far for me.

    No, I haven't been to the new place, I believe it is somewhere in the East Hastings area. I didn't know they have a name change. Now I know Laksa King is Bo Laksa.
