Menu
1. Penang Assam Laksa
This quintessential Penang dish pours a tangy, spicy fish-based broth made from mackerel, tamarind, shallots, and spices over rice noodles. On top go garnishes of cucumber strips, onions, mint leaves, pineapple and red chillies – Penangites add a drizzle of prawn paste (Hay Koh) to make it even more fragrantly savoury! Learn all the essential techniques to imbue the laksa with its signature deep and satisfying flavour: how to choose and process the fish, spice up and slow-cook the broth, and slice the garnishes for the proper mouthfeel.
2. Laksa Noodles
Laksa noodles are an integral part of the laksa dish, contributing significantly to the texture and enjoyment of the meal. Making your own laksa noodles is a rewarding process that can significantly elevate the quality of your Assam Laksa. Crafting your own noodles is well worth the effort.
3. Popiah Chnee
Descendants of Fujian spring rolls once traditionally sold by Penang’s wandering Assam Laksa hawkers, and meant to be eaten alongside the Laksa. Popiah Chnee are stuffed with shredded fresh vegetables, mushrooms, prawns and minced pork, whose sweet-savoury synergy and crispy shell are even more yummy if dipped into the Assam Laksa broth between bites. This delicious Peranakan-style Popiah recipe will be your new favourite snack.
4. Cucur Ikan
Tender on the inside, with a golden, softly crunchy crust, these fritters showcase the natural umami sweetness of fresh fish. Like Popiah Chnee, these were also sold by the Assam Laksa hawkers of yesteryear.
