Durian



Ah you can never miss a durian stall as the pungent aroma makes it known to everyone within 20 meters. Even if you drive past it you can smell it wafting through the air cond
itioning. To some it may smell worse than rotten eggs. To others, it is the perfume of the Gods!

Penang Laksa


Now this is the real stuff, a good dollop of thick Hay Koo (Fermented Shrimp Paste) adds the zing to the Laksa. The laksa sauce is super thick and nice to the last drop. This one is the sour Penang Assam Laksa. What can I say, it's unique, the sweet and sour fish based soup really has a bite. Crunchy cucumber slices and tangy pineapple adds to the amazing texture of this simple, classic dish.

This is the Thai Lemak Laksa which has added coconut milk (santan) in it. It has a different taste, richer yet definitely 100% laksa taste. You really have to try both types to appreciate the difference. One more thing I like are the thick home made rice noodles which have a firm springy bite to it.
