The recipe that I made this time is Curry Laksa, a spicy noodle soup. Laksa is widely known in Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia, and each country has its uniqueness. For example, Laksa in Indonesia (Laksa Bogor) uses fermented bean cake for the soup, while Laksa in Malaysia (Penang Laksa) uses mackerel. However, Curry Laksa is one type of Laksa that is quite popular in Singapore and Malaysia.

There are several places in Singapore where you may get your hands on some fresh, flavorful Curry Laksa. I look forwards to having this meal every time I visit Singapore. I was inspired to cook Curry Laksa at home after enjoying the dish so much in Singapore.

The Curry Laksa I make uses coconut milk, and I add dried shrimp and fish sauce to make this dish more savoury I use vermicelli in this Curry Laksa recipe because I like its texture. However, if you prefer other types of noodles, such as egg noodles or flat noodles, you can also use them. It's still delicious.

I use pre-fried tofu, fish balls, boiled eggs and bean sprouts for the components. In addition, you can add chicken, shrimp, squid, and other vegetables such as bok choy or cabbage. Curry laksa is also very suitable to be served with fried onions and lime juice to add freshness.

The flavour of this cuisine tends to be spicy or savoury. Ideal for enjoying as the weather is cold. You must try it if you visit Singapore or Malaysia. But if you don't have the time to make the trip, you may always give my recipe a try. Happy Cooking!

Note* To make the curry paste, we need lemongrass, but only the lower part of the lemongrass. So you can cut the lemongrass in the middle, then use the lower part and cut it into slices.
