Laksa

15/08/07 - As we didn't have afternoon class last Friday, some of my classmates went over to a coffeeshop near our school to have Laksa (S$3.50). Bowls of laksa came in pippin hot and fiery on our table the moment we put our butts on the seat. Depending on one's preferences, some had their Laksa with cockles and while others had it without prawns and vegetables. But I like mine without cockles (also known as "Hum") I don't really like the weird taste of this particular seafood.

The Laksa is the Nonya-style laksa, not the usual foodcourt kind of laksa where the stallholders will throw in fishballs, tau pok, eggs and etc. It is purely nonya-style with only fishcakes, prawns and beansprouts (also known as tau kay). The rice floor noodles are all cut into smaller strips where customers don't have to use chopsticks to eat the noodles. However, the price for this simple bowl of Laksa is not cheap.
