I have been craving for some Asam Laksa since reading about it at Mybuddies for the past weeks and when I visited Zuraida last weekend at Harrisburg we found some daun kesom at the Vietnamese store there. So with a packet of ChanHong Asam Laska paste from http://www.mytasteofasia.com/ and a can of sardin fish I get a yummy bowl of mouthwatering Asam Laksa. The only thing that was missing from the bowl of Asam Laksa is the shrimp paste. I have to remember to include that in my next order from http://www.mytasteofasia.com/.
Cook the Asam Laksa according to the instruction on the packet. I used a packet of the Asam Laksa paste with 3 bowl of water. Add in a can of sardin (minus the tomato sauce) and for extra tangy and spiciness I add in some tomatillo (from Zue's garden) and a jalapeno pepper. When is done serve it with noodles and garnish it with julienne cucumber, pineapple and daun kesom.

Nonya, with the ready asam laksa paste it makes our life so much easier :)
Gert, I must make one for my lunch at work. Imagine the smell in the office if I add belacan and then heat it in the microwave! Yummilicous! I usually mesh my fish though.Oh! What type of noodle do you use?

Wan,
I want assam laksa, makes me drooling liao. Luv it with lots of mint leaves and pineapple.
Sue, I don't have mint so just make do without it.
Gert, I never try mint in my asam laksa. How much to use?
Zue, the mint for me is more garnish only. Maybe you can put the same amount as the duan kesom.
Anyway to find recipe for homemade petis udang??? I have friends in Argentina who are craving for laksa but no petis udang ... :-(
Pixen, you might want to google for the recipe.
