Laksam Berempah

 Here is Laksam my own version.... I made several deviations from the typical Laksam recipe.... First of all, the fish is grilled instead of boiled giving a more appetising aroma to the gravy with no fishy smell or taste. Secondly I added some spices to it and thirdly I served it with assorted herbs and raw vegetables. The outcome is so delicious to my taste.... mmmmuah!

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION

Teringin nak makan Laksam dah lama tapi baru ni dapat peluang masa. Versi Laksam Along berbeda dari resepi pantai timur yg asal dan Along buat ikut selera sendiri. Pertama, ikan nya di panggang/salai terlebih dahulu supaya bau dan rasa yg lebih beraroma. Kedua, kuah nya Along letak rempah ratus dan ketiga Along hidangkan dengan daun2 herba dan sayuran seperti rasa kerabu.... adalah ala2 seperti kuah Laksa Johor pula.... sedap nyaaaa.... sekurang2 pun dua pinggan ni....heheeee.


Along masak laksam guna tin empat segi instead of bulat... hasil nya gulungan laksam lebih kemas dan sama besar bulat apabila di hiris.
