My Favourite Food

This is my  food.Laksa is a popular spicy noodle soup from the Peranakan culture, which is a merger ofChinese and Malay elements found in Malaysia and Singapore, and Indonesia.The origin of the name "laksa" is unclear. One theory^[1] traces it back to Hindi/Persianlakhshah, referring to a type of vermicelli, which in turn may be derived from the Sanskritlakshas (लकशस्) meaning "one hundred thousand" (lakh). It has also been suggested^[2]that "laksa" may derive from the Chinese word 辣沙 (Cantonese: [lɐ̀t.sáː]), meaning "spicy sand" due to the ground dried prawns which gives a sandy or gritty texture to the sauce. The last theory^[3] is that the name comes from the similar sounding word "dirty" in Hokkien due to its appearance.^{[citation needed]}
