Mum's Penang Laksa



Mum is an excellent cook. Today, I was at her place for lunch. She made the best Penang Laksa.

The thick gravy is made of ikan kembung flesh. The laksa noodles are soft and tangy. It's eaten with fine strips of cucumbers, slices of onions, finely chopped lettuce and bunga kantan, pineapple cubes and also the shrimp paste (Otak udang) which provides the 'kick' to the laksa.


Am unable to get the recipe from mum because she doesn't have one. She actually cooks by estimating the amount of ingredients (agak-agak). She doesn't need any apparatus for measuring. However, she cooks to perfection.
