I would like to introduce Leemei Tan of “My Cooking Hut” as a guest writer today. Leemei loves all the good things in life: gourmet food, dining, travel, and food photography. By reading her blog, I know that Leemei and I share a lot of things in common, so please welcome her to Rasa Malaysia with the Curry Laksa/Curry Mee post. Everyone could use a bowl of curry laksa/curry mee–a noodle dish that is fast gaining popularity outside of Malaysia and Singapore.

Guest Writer: My Cooking Hut

Thanks to Rasa Malaysia for featuring me as a guest writer this time. Both being Malaysians and the fact that my hometown (Kedah) is just about an hour away from hers (Penang); dishes and recipes posted on Rasa Malaysia always bring back my food memories in Malaysia and always portrays true Malaysia’s Northern-style cooking that never leaves spices behind!

As noodles lover, I have chosen to introduce Curry Mee without much hesitation. Curry Mee or also known as Curry Laksa (in the Southern part of Malaysia and its neighbouring country, Singapore) is a popular hawker’s dish. Curry Mee/Curry Laksa is a dish that’s full of flavours–slightly creamy soup infused with coconut milk, the spiciness of the chilli and fragrance of spices; never fails to satisfy my appetite to have it for breakfast or lunch. It has been too long since the last time I had Curry Mee. So, I am delighted to make this dish…(more picture and curry laksa recipe after the jump)

Penang Laksa

Penang LaksaPenang Assam Laksa–commonly referred to as “laksa” by Penangites–is one hawker food you don’t want to miss if you come to Penang. (Georgetown, Penang is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.)

This Laksa is not to be confused with the other Laksa–a coconut-milk and curry-flavored noodle dish. Penang Laksa is a noodle dish in spicy fish broth topped with various shredded vegetables. Give me a choice of Penang Assam Laksa and Curry Laksa (which Penangites aptly call “Curry Mee“), I will always choose this tangy, spicy, sour, and appetizing dish. The reason is simple: nothing gives me a better satisfaction than a bowl of piping hot Laksa with cut bird’s-eye chilies and dollops of pungent heh ko (Penang-style prawn paste). All the ingredients used might seem odd and bizarre to many–please believe me when I say this–but they are perfect matches made in food heaven. Penang Laksa is really that good…
