Dining in Kuala Perlis (partly in Malay, translation will be done later)

Laksa

Kuala Perlis mempunyai hidangan uniknya yang tersendiri, iaitu Laksa Kuala Perlis. Namun begitu, kerana promosi yang kurang efektif, kebanyakan masyarakat luar tidak tahu akan kewujudan laksa Kuala Perlis. Walau bagaimanapun, sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini, laksa kian mendapat tempat di hati pekedai-pekedai tempatan dengan wujudnya pelbagai kedai makan yang menyediakan hidangan laksa sebagai hidangan utamanya.

Kedai Laksa Kak Su: Terletak bersebelahan kedai Hafifah di Kampung Belakang Kilang untuk anda merasai sendiri keunikan laksa Kuala Perlis.

Ikan Bakar

Lynda Ikan Bakar 2: Good food, but low-rated service. Outsiders will be disappointed most of the time. For ikan bakar, it will be served and charged according to its weight. 1 kg Jenahak fish will cost you RM 40. Besides, their Sotong Goreng Tepung is worth a try.
