If I could only pick one thing my mum makes to eat forever, I’d hands down go for her asam laksa. Seriously, nobody does it better than her and it’s easily at the top of my list! I’ve loved it since I was a kid. I still recall how Mum would cook a huge pot of asam laksa, and we’d end up eating it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner like it was totally normal.
I’m totally obsessed with asam laksa. Seriously, nothing beats my mum’s version. I can’t stand asam laksa with prawn paste. It just messes up the taste for me, though loads of people love it! Lucky for me, my mum agrees, so we’re both on team no prawn paste.
Yummy! I finished two big bowls at lunch and went back for second at dinner. Don’t judge, I helped in preparing the dish. I helped to debone the fish, smash it up, and chop everything else like cucumbers, onions, and a bunch of veggies.
I’m determined to become an expert at preparing asam laksa, aiming to cook it for myself regularly soon. Just watch, I’ll be the next master of this dish!
