The dish is renowned for its bold, tangy, and spicy broth, balanced with the sweetness of fresh seafood and the umami of mushrooms and vegetables. What sets the Malaysian version apart is the incorporation of fresh herbs and vegetables like tomato, carrot, and sometimes even bok choy, making it not just delicious but also nourishing.
