Thai Laksa Recipe (Laksa Lemak/Siam Laksa)

Like many Penangites, I'm a big fan of Laksa. There are many versions of Laksa in Malaysia but in Penang, there two popular versions, i.e. Asam Laksa and Siam Laksa. Siam Laksa also known as Laksa Lemak or Siamese Laksa is the creamier version of Asam Laksa but less spicy and tangy. Both are made with basically the same ingredients, except that the Siam Laksa is coconut milk based. Let me know in the comments below which is your favourite? Penang Asam Laksa or Siam Laksa?
