As a westerner who lives in Katong, I'm interested to know where you recommend for good Singapore Laksa. 328 is a short walk for me and I've been there and enjoyed it, but I wonder if there's somewhere more recommended.
@KeithMilner yes, the one in the food court at roxy Square is the original recipe, from the corner stall at Ceylon Road that closed down in the 1990s.
Singaporean here and you have a few tips, 1stly, add more Heh Bi (Dried prawns) the dried prawns will bring out absolute flavour. 2ndly, reduce the amount of sugar, a good laksa uses minimal sugar, 3rdly, always use more oil to fry the rempah off to get that wok smell coming off the rempah. 4thly always soak your noodles in the laksa broth with the ingredients before serving for all ingredients to absorb the broth. Hope this helps
It’s amazing how we take this simple dish for granted in Singapore as you can literally find it everywhere, yet having to eat a bowl of laksa in the UK must be an absolute luxury for my Singaporean and Malaysian friends living there.
20 years ago, it would have been impossible to source ingredients like galangal, laksa leaves & belachan. But it's different now, so all you need is a good recipe.
Nowadays there tends to be a couple of Singaporean/Malaysian restaurants in various countries. But usually they upcharge till its quite expensive, can go up to 20 dollars for a bowl of laksa
Alternatively you can sauté the prawn shells in oil to extract the prawn elixir oil before putting into the prawn stock. Using the prawn oil to cook off the rempah.
Very exciting. Figured we'd only have beef rendang today but now there's an excellent option for the seafood lovers. Happy tummies all around. Thank you, chef.
Just came back from Singapore where I had Laksa for the first time and I regard it as one of the main fundamentally original dishes of Asia. I loved your execution, the way you explain what you're doing and why you're doing it, your choice of toppings and ingredients. I salute you.
Hi Liz, why am I getting the feeling you were at the verge of salivating when looking at that beautiful bowl of laksa? There is nothing like watching a chef love and enjoy the food she has cooked. Yum!
For those wondering, "laksa" is a family of soup noodles made with a seafood-based broth. The broth itself may or may not contain coconut milk. They all invariably use "laksa" noodles, a springy rice noodle similar to udon but less chewy and thinner. Some may substitute this with egg noodles though I'm of the opinion that this no longer makes it laksa. Variations of laksa include: •Katong •Johor •Penang/Assam •Utara/Kedah
Mmmm! That is my favorite Asian dish! I live in the UK and always go to a place called LYCHEE BAY ( previously called CHOP CHOP) in Shepherds Bush, next-door to Westfields, White City. I only go there when I'm down that side and always order the same thing: Singapore Laksa. Mine is served slightly differently each time I go, but always with the sambal of course. I always request some sugar and some black chilli; as neither ris put into the dish. I wish they would add sugar, like you did, because it really balances out the flavours and brings them out more. Each time I ask for sugar all the Asian staff give me a very strange look, but it's like you said, they all make it differently and in my case, the staff who work their are from different parts of Asia. Although I am of AfroCaribbean heritage and absolutely love the foods of my people, I really love Singapore Laksa and I could tell by the ingredients you added, your dish is packed with rich flavours, absolutely delicious; it was well made.
I am soooo happy that I subscribed to your channel and so is my wifey. My first taste of a Singapore Laksa was around 29 years ago and bang, I was addicted. Ever since then, I have tried and tried and tried to work out a recipe using everything I could find on the Internet, recipe books and notes from others that had tried to make the real deal. Whenever we have travelled to Asia, I am always on the hunt for tips to perfect my home made Laksa recipe. AAAAnnndd thanks to you, I now know where I was going wrong and it has made me very happy indeed! The prawn stock was always a part of mine but I had not cooked the rempah for long enough nor added enough oil. You are also the only one I have seen who smashes the Lemongrass instead of adding it to the blender and you don't add ginger. Thank you soo much as I am so very happy to finally be able to rest knowing I can make a batch of rempah anytime I want and of course wifey is also very happy with the result and I won't drive her made with my inane ramblings about secret ingredients. Thank you again 🥇🎉🎊
Thank you Ross 🙏🏻 messages like this inspire us to continue creating and sharing our knowledge. The donation is extremely generous and I’m so happy to hear you’ll be using the video to cook for loved ones. Love it ✌🏻
I love my mum's laksa since she grinds her own chili paste etc. We don't eat cockles and usually we have fishcake, prawns and hard boiled egg. So yum! Will try next time when I am back in London from Glasgow.
Thank you for showing us how to make laksa especially for those of us who are not living in Singapore. Making this will be like medicine for homesickness. Most. Of all using ingredients that can be accessible n adaptable. Love you and keep up the good work
You are the ideal person to investigate different Cultures and Culinary perspectives - You grew up in two cultures, actually three, your Dads Side, Your Moms Side, and from your side as a mixture of the two. I experienced a little of the same, My Mother was a Mixed Cherokee Indian, my Father a Mixed Irish German Jew. It does make a difference in how one experiences life and Food. So I think you see from at least three points of View Culturally , Mom's, Dan's, and Your own. The NHK Series, Through the Kitchen Window, would make a great Template to use to do several types of series. You have the Style and Talent to do this!
Well prepared in putting all the ingredients certainly this is really yummy, thanks for sharing this nutritious and healthy mouthwatering recipe, stay safe always.
definitely fry the shells first, then use the same oil to fry some chilli, then reserve that oil for your laksa topping. Add bean sprouts for "greens" Looks great!
Candlenut = kemiri , correct! Auntie Liz knows her herbs & spices! Vermicelli rice noodles also correct! Gotta love that shrimp paste! Such a delicious laksa, can't wait for you to do the hokkien prawn mee👍 ps. Sooo many cockles mentioned... Washed cockles seems wrong, lmao 🤣
Cockles are dug from the mud and it's not just inside the shell that you will encounter that mud. The fisher will rinse them in clean salt water, but it is always a good idea to give them an extra rinse yourself. I actually once got a bad batch where the animals were stuffed with sand. Ate a few but all the sand between my teeth made it a horrible experience. Threw most of them away.
@@AuntieLiz Just to let you know the bitly Apron links on your videos are broken - I checked it on your last 5 videos (I'm looking for a good one) and they all give a 403 Error page
I used to get a deep fried pork chop laksa at a restaurant in Macau about 1/week - loved it, and I love the many different laksas you can get in many places, even in Melbourne
My favourite memory from the 2008 Singapore F1 night race was the Laksa I had in the basement of Suntec City. The biggest bowl of 'gravy' I've ever had!
This recipe looks great and all, but can we all take a second to appreciate how great Auntie is looking. Maybe it's just the new haircut but you look like you've got a new pep in your step
Yummy! Aunty Liz, have you tried Sarawak Laksa? I am from Sarawak but I don't know how to cook the paste for the broth. I normally buy the ready made paste. Sarawak Laksa taste so much different from West Malaysia Laksa. I hope maybe you can find out how to cook the recipe? 🥰💜
I am a S'porean living in Sarawak. I can vouch for you. Try Sarawak Laksa gravy / soup & add those cockles & tofu puffs. It's a perfect bowl of yummy rice noodles I could eat almost every day
The first thing we learned in culinary school was, that no rings, earrings, watches, phones, etc were allowed in the kitchen. Not even allowed to have long nails at that school. Still, looks super delicious though
Hey Liz, that looks so good I'm sure I can smell it!. My favourite Laksa in london is down in Chelsea, it's called Phat Phuc, pure love and goodness its the best I've tried so far. Keep up the amazing work.
May i suggest try frying the rempang until the oil starts to seperate. also dry frying the prawn shell and add the broth when the fragrance starts to come out.

De big prawn has two vein line. Vain poo line above need to remove as base vain line. Easy way I do it is get a bamboo skewer perch through second last two section of prawn and pull the long dark vain out.
Looks awesome! It's interesting that you would just boil the shrimp vs dropping them in the soup similar to the spong stuff. The shrimp would have absorbed the beautiful flavors of the soup.
Another AMAZING video!! I don’t know if it is just me but it feels like something with the production/editing or maybe you, went to a next level with this video. I can’t put my finger on it but I love it. Thanks for bringing us another awesome video!
You're definitely right, this is the version I ate growing up, and this is the version that gets Singaporeans excited :) I live in Perth now, and they don't have this version here :(
I thought that with shrimp, there is a blood vessel running along the bottom (inside curve) of the body and the poop chute running along the top (outside curve) of the body. And when people traditionally say "de-veining," they are euphemistically referring to removing the poop chute. Is this shrimp arranged differently where that is actually along the bottom, or did you remove the vein and leave in the intestines? If so, why?
I've been making this since a trip to Bugis, 20 years ago. I'm 90% sure that it was coriander on the top, and that the cockles were basically raw in most versions that I had. The other difference was that they added a few beansprouts Of course, to do it in the UK, I cheat outrageously!
@@ernestkj I suspect that I've eaten both, while in Singapore. But now that I know what it is, I might try growing Persicaria odorata for my Laksa's, and give it a go in Vietnamese summer rolls.
As a Singaporean who lives in Katong, I approve. Seeing the rempah rendered till the oil separates shows it is totally legit.

to be honest, stock made from dried seafood is much better than fresh seafood
That's just your opinion; others might have different preferences. Also, nobody fucking asked.

This is definitely the most beautifully done Laksa that i have ever come across!! Amazing work Chef Liz!
Wow, thank you!
From one eastern chef to another.
You have my praise for an excellent bowl of Laksa.

20 years ago, it would have been impossible to source ingredients like galangal, laksa leaves & belachan.

Looks yummy! For my family, bean sprouts is a must ingredient! We also add hard boiled eggs.
Miss Liz , your laksa recipe is authentical and full of flavors .I appreciate your cuisine of Singapore island .
I'm a vegetarian and I ate a Buddhist vegetarian version when I visited Singapore. So fucking delicious I'm still craving a second go at it.

•Penang/Assam
•Utara/Kedah

I'm Singaporean but I personally prefer Sarawak laksa the best. Followed by Katong laksa.
There is a dried version now which I thought it’s ridiculous.
FYI Penang is Assam laksa and Siam laksa.

I'm making this! I miss laksa from when I worked in JB.
some said put a bit of chillie seeds when washing the Kerang or some lemon leaves... they tends to make the kerang spits sands out of them..
very true about cutting up the noodles, used to live near Katong and all the best laksas were served with a spoon only

You're correct. She left the digestive track but took out the blood vessel instead. I'm not sure I can take her seriously as a chef. 😂
That was a bit weird indeed 😬
