Hello, Hello! it’s Gembira again! Let me tell you about this amazing food I had in Malaysia—laksa! What’s laksa, you ask? It’s a spicy noodle soup made with shrimp paste and coconut cream. The flavor? A perfect mix of spicy, creamy, and just a hint of tanginess—so tasty!
Laksa is all about fresh ingredients. The broth combines lemongrass, ginger, and shrimp paste, simmered with creamy coconut milk for that silky richness. You can top it with shrimp, tender chicken, or even tofu for a vegetarian twist. And don’t forget the garnishes! A sprinkle of mint, crunchy bean sprouts, and slices of boiled egg add the perfect crunch.
What’s really special is how laksa varies across South East Asia. Focusing in Penang, you’ve got tangy asam laksa with mackerel, while in Malacca, the curry laksa is a creamy delight that warms your soul. Every bowl tells a story, connecting you to Malaysia’s vibrant culture and hospitality.
Seriously, you’ve got to try it! It’s pure happiness in a bowl
Best regards,
Gembira
