Food Style? Malaysian
I've picked up my rental car and I'm off to explore the fringe of Atlanta. In the appropriately named Asian Square, there's a Malaysian restaurant called Mamak, and I absolutely can't resist trying it out. Mamak refers to the open-air restaurants commonly found in Malaysia serving Indian food like roti, murtabak and briyani. The menu here is full of wonderful dishes from home, like rendang, char kuay teow and nasi lemak, but also specialities that I don't often find outside of Malaysia, like bak kut teh and yong tao foo.
I want to try everything but I can't. This is a sad recurring theme in my food life. I've gone for the curry laksa, which should be a delicious creamy soup with a great chicken broth and a bit of spice to top it off.

Curry laksa: classic coconut milk curry noodles with yong tau foo
I dig in. It's so good. I pause to catch my breath and write my thoughts down. It's rich and tasty, full of flavour. The yong tau foo has soaked up all that delicious laksa and bursts with flavour as I bite into it. I ask for a bit of sambal on the side and that magnificent, intense fish flavour lifts the laksa. This tastes of home.
