Samira...i miss you !!!!!A few months back...we had a laksa fever...well samira did and it got to me. We were eating laksa almost every other day..if its not at her's and its at mine. Of course the laksa is not as good as those back home, but considering where we are and our degree of laziness of skinning the fish, i think its pretty yumss..
I open my cupboard today and i saw stacks and stacks of mackerel in brine and i immediately thot of.. samira, i can still here her voice " ambik reena..ambik semua, yang nie sudah dapat nanti camner nak buat laksa "..so i took all that they had on the shelf, crazy women!
Samira is not here anymore and everyday when i take my girls for a walk and pass they old flat i get very emotional..bubbles will say " thats hanna's house but hanna goes on the aeroplane already" sedih tak..the dumonts are more like a family then friends to us and we miss them dearly...we even have to look for a new Monoloply partner...unless we can convince Marie and Meshary to play! :).
So before i forget the recipe...i better keep it here :-
1.4 medium size red onions
2 handful cili kering
belacan
a few cili padi
blend all this together with water enough to cover the ingredients.
2.
6 cans of mackerel in brine
Put everything in the blender with some water and blend.
what i did was blend 3 can til smooth and 3 can abit coarse
3. Then in a pot put the blended cili paste and the blended fish and mix well. Once everything is mixed add water about 3 litre or as u desire kalau nak pekat u can kurangkan the air.Cook in low heat and add a few stalk of daum kesum and bunga kantan ( which is didnt put since i didnt have any in cairo...so what i substitute with a few stalk of mint ) also add a few assam keping.let its boil til cooked.
4. for the toppings - timun, cabbage, red onions, lime, egss all sliced and i also make some crispy kerepek ( 2 tsp plain flour + 1 tsp rice flour + water = mix and fry in hot oil )
This will easily feed 8 to 10 hungry peeps..:)

Reena, eating with what? got the laksa made from the tepung beras out there? gambar kechik sangat la..tak nampak...
when desperate, spaghetti pun jadilah
hahahaha...makan with spagetti or the flat rice noodles..the one they use for vietnamese nodles..improvise improvise...
Your laksa recipe buat I lapar lahh. Chances of getting asam keping and mackerel in brine is almost 0 in Norway :(
Really...pack some assam keping when ure in Malaysia :). If u can get sardines...i guess it will work too
yummylicious to me..must try..sounds quick and easy..the real laksa making like susah giler..no time to debone hehe..eh your friend Samira, where did she go?? already move back to M'sia?? What about you Reena, any plan to come back for good??
