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 ;)

Looks like Kueh Ciap... the 'fair' version kkkkkk... :p

Chen said...

ehon,

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

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

Michelle Mak said...

narrowband,
Hhhahaa... at least i found someone here who are unaware of Laksam. I dun fancy the taste but i dun mind eating it. Nothing great and nothing to shout about :)

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

L B said...

Laksa... Laksa... How to recharge Laksa? Imperial Way!!

Chen said...

LB,

easy job leh
using the Imperial Method..
dangle the laksa bowl and Ah Boy will be happy..
cos he can eat the "falling laksa"
LOL

Unknown said...

No matter what Laksa also better than here no Laksa at all.... sob

yenjai.net said...

It looks like lou shu fun more than CCF to me

Selba said...

Completely looks different than our laksa.... but then it also looks different than the Assam laksa, rite? :D

Michelle Mak said...

i was born there...wa they eat so much later anything happen eg: bp goes up...

Anonymous said...

wah, got so many types of laksa one arr? i am more suaku.. !

Doreen said...

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

chartao said...

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~!!

day-dreamer said...

Err... apa ini ah? Haha. Sedap ah?

Anonymous said...

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

13th Panda said...

laksa-m?

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

Chen said...

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

Chen said...

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..

Chen said...

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 :)

Chen said...

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

Michelle Mak said...

winniethepooh said...

Chen said...

The last time is June? That was almost 4 months liao. Time to pay Penang a visit again. The last time I balik kampung to my hometown was in May. But my kampung is far away lah, unlike yours :)

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

mistipurple said...

moz monster said...

Laksam is a Kelantanese food, usually taken during breakfast. Plenty of good ones in Kota Baru ... =)

Chen said...

misti,

*Thinking wat else to makan in Singapore (which is not available in Malaysia)*

moz,
Oohhh.. I see. I went to Kelantan once in the past, and that was way back in 2002. Didn't notice laksam at that moment cos we took our breakfast inside the resort :)

But we did try the nasi dagang there :)
