LaksaM

Sad to say that.. I have never heard of Laksam (or better known as Laksa-M by yours truly), till I saw it in one of the foodstalls at the Ramadhan Bazaar yesterday evening. Mmmm... suaku on the move again?

Flat rolls of white rice flour noodles (which resembles CCF, LOL) served with the thick, creamy coconut milk and fish gravy; topped with the crunchy bean sprouts, cabbages and green chillies. Mmm... I still prefer Penang Assam Laksa, LOL.

Besides Siam Laksa, Kedah Laksa, Penang Assam Laksa, Sarawak Laksa, Nyonya Laksa, Laksa Lemak bla bla bla, now I have tasted laksam (the Laksa-M). Next, I wanna sabo Katong Laksa ;)

    yeah, not very nice. Laksa Penang and Laksa Sarawak tasted much nicer :D

    angel,
    Laksa from the East Coast, from Kelantan.. so can be considered as Laksa Melayu kua?

    IMHO, Assam Laksa is still the best laksa. I luv the air itam laksa, aka longkang laksa (within my community lah). Better dun show u the penang assam laksa in my previous post, else u sure lao hao sui... LOL

    narrowband,

    winn,
    I think it origins from Kelantan kua, as what my colleague told me. I makan liao the laksam, bought it yesterday.

    Penang Assam Laksa is still the BEST. I heart PAL :D

    ReplyDelete
  20. You're not alone! I have never heard about this before too. Emm....coconut milk with fish gravy....the combination a bit weird leh.

    ReplyDelete
  21. how does this laksam tasted? good?

    no worries of katong laska, it can be found at almost all corners of singapore..

    at katong, you would be lost of which one is the original one as everyone is original~!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Is it like buburchacha but not as sweet? The creamy coconut milk sounds yummy.

    ReplyDelete
  23. laksa-m?

    Hmm, how does it taste? must be "Lak" - spicy + "asam" - soury?

    ReplyDelete
  24. kenny,
    Poor Kenny. Laksa really has become delicacies liao.. Hope u can come back to Malaysia soon.... :(
    Home is still the best, hoh?

    yenjai,
    Hehhehe.. coz it come in rolls mah, similar like the CCF in Penang (not the KL or Ipoh CCF though) :P

    selba,
    Over here, most of the states have their own laksa. Can't remember if i have seen Indonesian Laksa or not in the past? IMHO, Penang Assam Laksa is still the best (and those Sarawakians out there will flame me liao for saying this). LOL

    ReplyDelete
  25. mich,
    Ooooh... Penang is your hometown ah? How frequent u come back here then?

    cbenc12,
    Thanks for dropping by :)

    Yeah, there are several types of laksa available, but i still prefer penang assam laksa the most, especially when served pipping hot with lotsa chillies and prawn paste ;)

    doreen,
    Heheheh... And the gravy is white in colour (another weird looking stuff!!). Regarding the taste.. Mmmm... Nothing to shout about leh..

    ReplyDelete
  26. leonard,
    I dun fancy the taste, nothing to shout about. Hahhaha.. I still prefer the authentic Penang Assam Laksa, especially when served pipping hot with lotsa her koh or prawn paste.
    Yummy.. *salivating*

    Hehhee.. I only been to Singapore once, and that was way back in 1987 (20 years ago). Hopefully I can pay Singapore a visit soon..
    Aiyh.. dunno when yet leh :(

    day dreamer,
    Ini Laksa Pelik..
    Oops.. i mean Laksam..
    Not Lah sam..(which literally means dirty in Hokkien)
    LOL

    Taste so-so only lah.
    I dun mind eating it but nothing to shout about loh :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. giddy tiger,
    Nope, it's not sweet at all (no added sugar). It's a bit spicy cos of the chillies, but not that hot.. Might be u can look out for it in the Ramadhan Bazaar :D

    13th panda,
    Yeap, not Laksa-P(enang) nor Laksa-S(arawak). LOL

    Mmmm.. LaksaM(alaysia?) LOL
    Nope nope nope.. :P

    Slightly lak only..
    Can't remember whether if there's any tinge of sourness or not..
    LOL

    hahahaa... they dunno u have bf ah? or although they know, but they never expect u to bring him back home? :D

    lynnx,
    Penang Assam Laksa Rocks
    Everyone has their own preferences mah.. I still prefer penang assam laksa much much much (1000x) more than Sarawak laksa :D

    winniethepooh,
    Although the laksam is pale looking, but it's slightly spicy coz of the chillies, but not as yummy as those fiery hot dishes :D
