It comes with a rich coconut-based soup that is cooked with chicken bones, and/or prawn shells, and lays the foundation for thick rice vermicelli and crunchy bean sprouts. The Noodles in Curry Laksa (Curry Mee) Fresh noodles are preferred if they are available. I had to use dried yellow noodles as the supply of fresh noodles to the Midwest at this time of the year is erratic.
