An interactive curated reference on Kuching's most iconic dish — ingredients, recipe, where to eat, and cultural context
Challenge: Sarawak Laksa is one of Malaysia's most celebrated dishes, yet no single well-designed digital reference brings together its history, recipe, cultural context, and where to eat it — in one readable, navigable page.
Solution: A rich, scroll-driven reference site built entirely in HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. It covers everything a food lover, tourist, or diaspora Sarawakian would want to know — from the paste ingredients to Anthony Bourdain's famous quote — in a clean, readable format with smooth animations.
Explains what Sarawak Laksa is, how it differs from Penang Asam Laksa and Singapore Laksa, with a quick-facts card and comparison table.
Groups ingredients into Paste, Broth, and Toppings. Each card includes the ingredient, quantity, and its role in the dish.
4-phase recipe (Paste → Broth → Toppings → Assemble) with numbered steps, pro tips, and store-bought paste alternatives.
Covers Kuching, Sibu, Miri, Home-Style, and Restaurant styles — each with flavour profile tags.
6 real Kuching stalls with address, opening hours, halal status, and what makes each one worth visiting.
6 cultural context pieces (breakfast ritual, kopitiam setting, diaspora longing) and profiles of key figures including Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsay.
