Laksa Bogor
Laksa Bogor is the Bogor version of laksa — a coconut-milk-based noodle soup with rice cake (lontong) or ketupat, bean sprouts, hard-boiled egg, and a heavy garnish of fried shallots. The defining feature: the broth is thick, coconut-milk-based, and spiced with a complex paste of candlenuts, turmeric, ginger, and chilies. The dish is similar to the Malaysian/Singaporean laksa, but the Indonesian version is heavier on the coconut milk and uses turmeric for color. Bogor is famous for its street-food laksa, and each stall has its own secret spice blend.
