回 Penang时,我一定不只吃一碗 asam laksa…
I found some of Penang’s ‘FAMOUS ASSAM LAKSA’ soup powder in an Asian store here; then I bought some vegetables and noodles that look similar to laksa noodles. I was looking forward to eating it, so I cooked it. Asam laksa is supposed to be made with fish meat but I put in fish balls instead, so it had ‘fish’… Let me taste it…the first thought after I tasted: Woah! Too sour! It was really as the name said ‘assam’ (sour) laksa. I think the asam laksa of any of the hawkers in Penang would taste better than this bowl. I put some sugar in to adjust the soup, only then could I eat it.
When I go back to Penang, I want more than one bowl of asam laksa….

A TRICK FROM THE ITALIANS IS TO USE A LITTLE BAKING SODA TO KILL THE ACIDITY OF TOMATOES. Mom's favorite spaghetti recipe from an Italian woman used it. Only took a very little, perhaps 1/2 teaspoon for a whole pot. For your tiny sauce start with 1/8 level probably or even a pinch.
Steve,
Thanks for your tip.
Wow got laksa huh! Any hokkien mee at your place?
Hmm...I couldn't find. Maybe someone in Penang is kind enough to send me instant hokkien mee loh...
