Lakso is often described as the Palembang-style laksa. However, actually it is quite different from recipes for laksa common in neighboring Malaysia and Singapore.{{Cite web|url=https://food.detik.com/info-kuliner/d-3348042/mie-berpadu-kuah-santan-gurih-wangi-dalam-semangkuk-lakso|title=Mie Berpadu Kuah Santan Gurih Wangi dalam Semangkuk Lakso|last=Safira|first=Maya|website=detikfood|language=id|access-date=2018-12-11}} Lakso is quite similar to burgo, although burgo is folded rice pancake and its soup has a whitish color.
