My Favourite Food :)

My favourite post ever! 

~FAVOURITE FOOD~

what is my favourite food?

LOTS!

but, one that i really really love is

"LAKSA"

some say, laksa is originated from the Chinese (peranakan) who migrated to Malaya 

*Malaysia was known as Malaya before Independence. 

"laksa" is something that is similar to spaghetti but it is in white colour and is a common food among Malaysian.

each district has a special sauce (kuah) to eat with the laksa.

 but the one that i prefer the most is of course laksa from Penang Island named "Laksa Penang" 

the taste of laksa penang is very unique.. 

it is sweet and sour

but sometimes it is quite spicy *depends to the chef who cook it*

as for me, i prefer spicy laksa penang! 

emmm mouth watering ! 

laksa penang must be eat with 'laksa' *of course and the sauce (kuah)
together with boiled egg, pineapple, salad, onion, cucumber, chilies and some flavor enhancer. *and again depends to each district :)


if you r interested with the dish, why don't you try to cook it by yourself? 
i found it from one of the food blogger.
the recipe is very simpe and easy.
good luck!
