Nothing beats a great bowl of asam laksa. It is not easy to find a satisfying asam laksa nowadays..I guess people dont make them like they used to.. with lots of fish.. with lots of herbs.. and one must be very generous with these ingredients.... so, since I am such a fussy pot, I decided to make this... and share it with some close friends.. hehehehe..
The pounded ingredients are naturally, pounded... and herbs are plenty..you gotta be very generous with the herbs.. if not, the broth will not be fragrant and I learnt the trick from my aunt.. you gotta put in "secret" hehehehe... so, after an hour or so of a lot of blup blup blup sound from a big pot, the broth is ready.. and off I go to get the garnishing ready and there are a lot of things to cut!! I hate cutting!!! The onions, the cucumbers, the bunga kantan, the mint, the pineapples... wahhh....
But once everything is nicely cut, I am very pleased with my bowl of asam laksa.. I learnt that you must balance the taste between sour, spiciness (pedas), sweet and savory.. it is not just sour or pedas.. it has to balance the scale and when you mix everything up, it is a very yummy bowl of noodle that spells effort and precision in taste. Of course, the prawn paste is a must and it helps.. without it, the balancing act cannot be achieved. As my friend's husband put it... this prawn paste makes a whole difference!! Oh yessss.....
So, my Sunday was spent with great friends and great bowl of asam laksa... nothing can be better than that.. Not even a 5 carat bling! Thanks May Lyn for graciously offering your house for us to crash and have this asam laksa party...
Oh! if you are wondering, yes, I do make this for my catering.. and if you want to have this party, you can call me...... hehehe..
