Laksa






Laksa

 

It is mainly eaten during lunch and tea time. The noodles can be freshly made or dried. There are many types of laksa noodles being used. Sometimes, more glutinous rice powder is added, resulting in slippery smooth noodles. Steaming gravy is poured on the noodles, then raw herbs, spicy garnish and boiled eggs are added on top of the bowl. Prawn paste is drizzled over the soup. Raw vegetables are used as garnish. Cucumber, bean sprouts, long beans, chilies, onion and mint leaves are part of the garnish.  It is undisputable that Penang asam laksa is the most famous and commercially hawker's food available everywhere in Malaysia. This type of laksa can be found in almost every street corner, coffee shop and food court.  You can also find this dish sold on a pushcart, each with its own guarded recipes. The price is also very cheap, ranging from RM2.50 to RM5.00, depending on the location of the stalls, the quantity and ingredients used to make them.  Normally we use chopsticks to eat the noodles. If you are not so sure about the etiquette of using these utensils, here is a guide on using chopsticks. Otherwise, you use fork and soup spoon to eat laksa. - See more at: http://www.pickles-and-spices.com/types-of-laksa.html#sthash.9VnwaITw.dpuf
