Prawn Laksa

Shrimp Laksa

Prawn Laksa

Congratulate me. I feel energetic and I don’t feel sleepy…. not at all. Today was a no rice day for me. Lunch was this delicious hot bowl of Prawn Laksa and dinner was bread and Buffalo Wings. I tried a new hot sauce and a new recipe for Buffalo Wings and it works! Only peanutbutter was already hungry and I didn’t have time to take a photo so I’m saving that for another day.

Somebody has been craving for Laksa for more than a week now…..

Prawn Laksa

You might think it was me because I’m the one who’s pregnant but you’re wrong! peanutbutter‘s the one who’s craving. He even ordered a bowl of it last thursday at Rumah Saté at Ketchup Community in Baguio. I guess he wasn’t satisfied. It had to be cooked at home. So while I was busy being a judge at the 1st Navotas Food Festival Search for Navoteño Chef 2015 (whew! that was long) this morning, he went ahead and bought the ingredients for this Prawn Laksa — well, except for the Laksa paste ’cause we already have that at home.

He did all the cooking….well, except for the tofu, which he said takes so long to fry. Yeah, tofu and peanutbutter never gets along and their problem dates waaaayy back..heehee. Tofu and I get along just fine so I did the frying and the plating, of course!

What a creamy, spicy, and flavorsome lunch! Judging from the smile on peanutbutter‘s face and the sweat on his forehead, I’d say he was satisfied with two big bowls of Prawn Laksa!

  4. That looks both beautiful and delicious. I had never heard of it before now but it looks like something hubby and I both would love to try!

  5. OMG everything about this looks delish (minus tofu since I’m allergic LOL). But I love shrimp and all seafood so this is just perfect. And we have some amazing international markets around so finding the ingredients should be pretty easy.

  7. Oh this looks absolutely delicious. I’ve never heard of this variety before, but this looks GOOD! And anything with shrimp just has to be the bomb.com!!

  11. This looks very delicious, I want to try making it at home (well, maybe without the tofu? hehehe) I wonder if any of our grocers here sell Laksa paste.

  12. Yummy yummy food! Can I feature/repost this recipe of yours at my food blog? Pretty please?

  13. Lovely photos! I am not really into spicy food but with your presentation, I might actually try this if you cook me one. hehehe

  14. Whenever I crave for laksa, I go to Pao Tsin and order their laksa soup. Cheap and delish, hehe. Or sometimes, I buy Koka instant noodles (laksa Singapura flavor) at the supermarket. Now, if I’d want to make laksa from scratch, this recipe will come in handy, so thank you for sharing it here! 🙂

  15. I love laksa but it’s really hard to find a good place that cooks it outside. Maybe will try making it with your recipe above when I get the time.

  16. This is a Malaysian dish Sis, am I right? I think I’ve already tasted it from one of the restaurants in Subic few years ago and this is really delicious and also spicy which I like (love spicy foods). Thanks for sharing the recipe. Might want to try this as well. 🙂

  17. I love laksa. I first time I tasted this was an instant version from Singapore. It’s a complete meal too!
