Well look out restaurants…… I've recently discovered how to make a laksa from scratch… Now to clear this up, I didn't actually make it myself... but I did watch it being prepared before my eyes by my beautiful girlfriend :). It was made from fresh spices and ingredients purchased from a funny little man in an Asian grocery store on Springvale road. She says he denied a photo opportunity but was extremely helpful in flittering about the store gathering ingredients to fill up the basket...

The recipe I will give you later... But for now I will just give you my unbiased opinion …

So where do I begin… Well the sauce was nice and thick and if any of you have read my earlier reviews is something that I deem very important because a watery laksa loses its rich flavorsome appeal to me…

Anyway there was the right amount of veggies (was always going to be that way if I had a say on its ingredients) It also had fresh prawns and chicken, we decided not to put any tofu into this dish this time, I'm not really a huge fan of tofu although I do not mind it from time to time but extra veggies will always win for me…..





Now how do I make this sound objective whilst still keeping the integrity of this page? …..hmmm a very tricky thing indeed….. So here we go……

Noodles - Hokkien rather than vermicelli
Sauce - Thick and tasty. A paste made from fresh spices will always beat a preservative filled jar variety.
Vegetables - Lots of these….
Chicken - Once again plenty of….
Prawns - Whole fresh and beautiful
So once again I issue my warning to all Laksa makers world wide …. You now have a bench mark to beat …..
