This reminds me of a coffee shop in Ipoh that sells the best Siamese Laksa. Yours looks rather close to that. I love Siamese Laksa, I got to try making this at home with your recipe. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteQuay Po: which coffee shop are you referring to? I must try it when I am there. Yes, I love Siamese Laksa too.
