PENANG ASSAM LAKSA

Penang laksa to entertain guests :



Penang laksa, also known as asam laksa.  It is made with mackerel (ikan kembung) soup and its main distinguishing feature is the asam or tamarind which gives the soup a sour taste.  The fish is poached and then flaked. Other ingredients that give Penang laksa its distinctive flavour include lemongrass, galangal (lengkuas) and chilli.  Typical garnishes include mint, pineapple slices, thinly sliced onion, a thick sweet prawn paste (he-ko) and use of torch ginger flower.
