Singh Laksa, a stall in Seremban, Malaysia, is run by a Cantonese-speaking Sikh and offers a unique laksa dish that combines Chinese, Indian, and Malay influences. The gravy is made without coconut milk and is vegetarian.
A Cantonese-speaking Sikh is the man behind a well-known laksa dish here, enough to rival Penang’s famed asam laksa.
