Gimme another bowl of that


Laksa Penang @ Asam (which is tamarind in english i think) Laksa which originates from Penang.
Laksa is actually a bowl of steamed spaghetti-sized rice vermicelli, served with ikan kembung (mackerel??) soup and its main distinguishing feature is the asam which gives the soup a sour taste. The fish is poached and then flaked. Other ingredients that is put in laksa include mint, onion, chillies, pineapples, bunga kantan (torch ginger flower), serai (lemongrass) and such.
