Yesterday I made this Nyonya dish as a weekday night dinner. Once I sank my teeth into this bowl of ikan assam pedas, I was mesmerised and overwhelmed.

Penang Asam Laksa (Sour Fish-based Soup with Noodles) Recipe | Easy Asian Cooking

As Penang asam laksa (spicy noodle soup from Peranakan culture, usually served with thick rice noodles) top my food craving list, I always scout for this recipe online and today I am ecstatic to find this Penang asam laksa  video from YouTube which traces its origin back to trymasak.my. Since the recipe was written in Malay, I translated it into  English for a wider reach. There're two variants of laksa , namely curry laksa and asam laksa . Curry laksa ( coconut-based curry soup with noodles) is more commonly known in Kuala Lumpur or Singapore whilst asam laksa (sour fish-based soup with noodles) is more popular in Penang . Between the two, I'd veer on the latter version which acquires the sour taste from tamarind (or asam in Malay ) which right away aroused my taste buds bringing forth a subtle drool. Having said so, I'm going to feature this Penang asam laksa recipe from TryMasak here in no time. Ingredients : 1 packet of dried la...
