As a Thai, I approved this recipe. He did every technique right with good understanding. He's better than many professional chefs those pretend to know Asian cooking technique.
Keep doing it Andong !

China No.1
@@oleehuuoli9932 West Taiwan,you're in the wrong place.
He enriched our Thai cuisine ... or fused it into a fusion cuisine or whatever, but I think it is a good idea and must taste good.
Lies! He`s a heretic! He fused Thai and Malay food, where does he think he is Songkhla? JK obvs
Here I am getting ready for bed and Andong here makes my stomach rumble with these great soups
same
Same, I'm thinking to prepare it now 😂
Same haha
Hahaha I was just thinking the same!
I can say Laksa literally changed my life. It was my first love since Singapore and Malaysia, where I made my first steps ever in Asia and it jumped my interest in foreign food. Laksa is why I started cooking.
tell us more!
That was thai Massaman Curry for me
14:09 Chris Broad makes an Appearance
Abroad in Berlin
Oh my goodness Chef you like Andong too 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
omg why have i seen chefpk on so much unrelated videos
also yall as a fan, i think chefpk makes some of the best anime food videos around, check him out!
more like Andong in japan
I was looking for that hahaha
UA-cam: Wanna learn how to make laksa broth?
Me: Yes.
Laksa is soo underrated compared to Ramen and Pho
so true
asparagus soup !!!
broccoli/potato soup
I say we petition a family with a great Laksa recipe to come to America, and in each state, plant a Laksa restaurant so that we CAN make it as popular and more so than Ramen and Pho.
WE over here in the US just don't have enough exposure to it.
I know I WANT IT!
@@skyrere Laksa is all over Australia, especially Sydney, so I don't see why it can't be successful in the US..
"rempah" is just the Malay word for spice, it doesn't imply anything about needing to be a paste!
True. This should be a top comment so people dont misunderstood the meaning of rempah
Yeah, like masala in the Indian subcontinent just means spice, could be dry, wet or can even mean cooked spice
True
The people that say cilantro tastes like soap to them actually have a specific genetic marker that effects taste.
Here is an article from Britannica about it www.britannica.com/story/why-does-cilantro-taste-like-soap-to-some-people
@@witkofhf thank you
💔 I weep for them.
Beta energy
@@alphafish4756 😂 your name is lit
Two Andong videos, one so close to the other?
You're spoiling us, my man!
As a singaporean with a malaysian mother, i am gonna hunker down for the subsequent laksa wars in the comments.
What wars? I see none
not yet, but you can never be too sure...
Aiyo, no war yet lor. As a German who lived in SG for 10 years I prefer Singapore Laksa, one of my all time favorites. Man, how I miss the food. Wanna go back oredi.
Sarawak laksa is the truth
There are lots of coconut based laksa in whole Malaysia. Sarawak laksa, Johor laksa, Northern Region of Malaysia have "laksa kuah lemak", Terengganu/East Coast "Laksam"
My family is from Montreal, and the ultimate cold weather soup for us has always been French onion soup. The trick is using really good quality crusty bread, really good cheese, and red wine in the broth.
For us its pea soup! Soup au pois!
the broth should be also a good one, but the worst mistake is actually burned bitter onions - if they are fine, you cant actually ruin this soup :)
Split pea soup with ham. 🥰
My family is from St. John and for us it was always Bean and ham soup.
09:35 why does it sound like “red curry pubes”
Was looking for this comment
Because he's been talking about balls for the whole video untill this point. :D
djinn-zhah, Agin-gah.
daywalker groin soup
Because he's saying red curry cubes with a German accent. i feel like you are just mishearing it.
@@BloodSprite-tan i heard it as well
I LOVE THIS SERIES. I CANT WAIT TO MAKE SOME OF THESE SOUPS.
Forget about galangal, I can't even find lemongrass for cooking in the South of Italy 🤣🤣🤣
In my country, lemongrass is sold in little glass jar with a single stem per jar. Really expensive and then you have to get rid of a lot of it because it is to hard to use. Galangal, dashi stock and coconut milk not in cans are also unobtainable.
buy lemongrass and galangal powder online 😉
@@TEEZS10 Please, do you have a link to a good seller?
Gaia Mannino amazon has options
6:18 All this talk about balls, I was wondering when you would break XD
The lime is usually added at the end in Malaysia.
lime juice can turn bitter when cooked
Definitely team cilantro is soap extract.
I've heard it's about 25%.
@@DuelScreen 14% and mostly of European descend
I was hoping for a laksa episode, but never thought today's the day lol
As someone from Sarawak, I maintain that Sarawakian laksa is the best, sambal belacan base all the way
Sarawak laksa +1
As someone who lives in Chennai, I maintain that Roti Canai is neither what we here would call a roti nor influenced by Chennai.
But it's fucking delicious either way
As someone from Borneo, i kinda related to this comment
Sarawak Laksa and Johor Laksa are the best. For my taste buds at least
im from the asam laksa region but damn i have to agree sarawak laksa is superior
14:10 and my mind: Huh, is Chris Abroad from Abroad in Japan going to show up? :D
Thought the same thing - Was waiting for him to land with a parachute or something!
You look EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD in the thumbnail Andong while you’re adoring your bowl of soup. It’s really true that when someone’s really into something, you’ll see their face light up.
Cilantro is life.
Not if it tastes like soap to you, believe me.
@@Puddleford Nope
A life without cilantro is possible, but pointless.
Nope
@@Puddleford not our fault you lost the the coriander gene tasting lottery.
Not only is my name Tom, I also absolutely love the soup. Easily my favourite asian soup ever, it's the best.
as a Malay person who eats laksa regularly and a new subscriber to your channel, I think you did a pretty great job trying to adapt the flavours using ingredients you can get more easily in Germany! Keep up the good work!
I don't know if it makes a difference, but my mum always adds oil instead of water into her rempah. Then you could use less oil when frying the paste.
Oh man it's 4:20am in malaysia and I'm hungry af now
Same dude. I just woke up at 1am earlier and hungry
4:20? Nice. I'll drink to that bro
I just imagined Andong and Chef John collab - MSG and cayenne all over the place
Soup Season made me join your Patreon right now. Gonna be honest though: I'll turn 40 in less than a year but a dozen "balls" within the first minutes made me giggle like 13. Might have influenced my decision!
Edit: Cilantro ist king!
That 80´s music when you went outside is just hilarious 😂 😂
Look, cilantro tastes like soap to me. However, I don't mind that much. In fact, I don't mind the taste of soap either...I wonder what that says about me. Anyway, I think what I am trying to say is; we should experiment with soap as a cooking ingredient?
hahhhh
It's a genetic issue. I suffered my 2 week work stay in Colombia because every food smelled and tasted like soap, so I had to look it up.
Cilantro doesn’t smell like soap. You’re Soap probably smells likes cilantro.
@@PriyankitaPant did you read my comment? It's a genetic issue, some of us have different wiring up there that makes chopped cilantro smell bad and taste worse.
Actually, soap is the byproduct of cooking experiments...
laksa is my favourite of all asian soups, hands down. looks like a great version!
Your excitement about the soup, and your reactions to good food, is worth EVERYTHING! Making me happy in 2020. Thank you!😆
Gotta say, the production value of your videos is amazing! You can really see an improvement over time (Not to say your old videos were bad, they just got even better)
Loving the soups series Andong. Probably my favorite you've done so far, keep it up!
Love love looove sooooups! Sounds like binge watching and eating this season!
I already love this series
Laksa is love
Planning to prepare Laksa from scratch
I really like your enthusiasm and content man, keep it up.
Would love to see your take on "bilo bilo": a Filipino soup, dessert.
Main ingredients are: coconut milk, tapioca (balls) and mochi.
I'm totally gonna make this version, amazing to actually have a version with easily available ingredients
I love your new type of editing and the way you talk about food
I made your Turkish lentil soup a few days ago, it turned out excellent, and this one today was even better. Thank you for the inspiration!
Hahaha.. vor 10 min eine "Tom Kha Gai" mir als abendessen gekocht und grad am schlürfen
I like how enthusiastic you are when it comes to those simple things 😊
That looks so good! One of my favourite parts of most Laksa I've had is when they mix rice noodles AND thicker ramen type noodles. Adds a great texture!
I can’t wait to make this! And top it with ALL the cilantro.
I kinda predicted this! There were also a lot of interesting recipes suggested by other viewers. Hope we get to see some of those too.
That was perfect! Way to go, Andong!
Andong, you're a legend. My man
Anfangs fand ich Korianderblätter auch furchtbar nach Seife schmeckend, mittlerweile mag ich sie echt gern 👍
Next episode of soup season: Snert the perfect soup for a cold winter afternoon
I second this, although I know a lot of fellow Dutchies that couldn't care less for this pea soup.
@@ian4683 I could eat it every week 😍
My husband and kids are not really a fan of it. But well more for me then 😄
Thank you for Soup Series. I've worked a a Japanese restaurant for soo long that closed and now I'll always be 'chasing that' good soup and food. Much needed I was hoping you would do this. And this is going to be a success.
Amazing recipe!!!
Yes, coriander leaves taste like soap, but some dishes are nothing without them. Gotta have 'em.
You know nothing about flavor
@@paulatorres142 it's about genetics...
I always found that the leaves have almost no flavour when compared to the stems (maybe 30% of the flavour}, so to me leaves are just basically for garnish.
@@_BigSoap_ genetics has nothing to do with food, food is culture, so you just can not say something tastes like soap, because that is how it is to you, you have to say that is how you understand this flavor because of your lack of culture.
@@paulatorres142 No there is literally a specific gene people have the make coriander leaves taste like soap to some people.
I'm one of those people who thinks cilantro tastes like soap.
usually if its a bit older and less fresh, or in larger quantities does it annoy me, but more often than not it's bright, fresh and herbal instead of soapy, astringent and metallic.
HOW ?! i mean, describe the "soapyness" cuz, i dont taste it and im curious to how you get that taste
@@forgottenfries it's not a real flavour, i believe it's the "flavor" of food sensitivity/allergy. Hot chili peppers have capsaicin which is a general skin irritant, but that irritation is also interpreted as a flavor in food.
@@forgottenfries Some people are genetically more sensitive to the aldehydes in cilantro, which literally tastes like dishwasher soap. Imagine putting a spoonful of Dreft in your mouth. Me and some of my relatives have this gene so I try to avoid cilantro in my food whenever I can since it's ruins the whole dish.
Me too, I wish it didn’t as I think if you have different genetics it is supposed to be delicious but it absolutely tastes like washing up liquid to me 🙁
I love these soups. Great video andong
I honestly think that soup might be my favourite type of dish, and laksa is one of my favourite soups! I love this series, keep it up!
Cilantro (coriander) is the Devils Herb, tastes like metallic soap. (Even the smell triggers me)
I feel u. I despise it
Did you know there is a day in Honor of hating cilantro?😂
It actually depends on the genetics! Thought it’s simply a matter of taste but the soapy taste is genetically predisposed.
I for example love coriander and could eat it with highkey everything but it doesn’t taste soapy to me at all
@@juu9827 yes i heard of that as well because i couldnt understand my friends that eat everything with coriander!
I also know people who describe tue smell as Soapy but can eat it.
How would you describe the taste?
6:18 Your No. 1 Troll (Clara) is going to torment you for a long time! What have you done! LOL 😂😂
OMG...I'm in love! Perfect for going into winter soup season.
Love this series 💜
Coriander being either classified as delicious or soapy is based on one gene in humans. There is a study about this which came out recently. This means there is almost no in between wether people like it or not.
Just like Durian
Thank you
Ya my mother can't stand it and tastes soap. I can definitely see how the taste is vaguely soapy, but I still enjoy it in a lot of dishes. It can be overdone pretty easily though, which for me can ruin the meal.
I used to not like it at all but I'm okay with it in certain dishes now sooo i guess i'm in the middle about it
Game: every time Andong says umami get a drink
Lol...we'd be drunk before the end of the video
🤤 I'm drooling. This looks so good!
You’re a star bruv keep it up!
Ask your neighbors to east how to make żurek. Top 10 soups in my opinion.
Starapolski!
The way he tasted the soup, dropped em chopsticks like they HOT, then blasted SUCCESS!! just Legendary
I'm exploting in love...and flavor!
Your videos are so inspiring! Great work, I love that you put your own spin on the dishes.
Video idea: kannst du ein Video über flan/Pudding around the world machen Würde mich Mega freuen
Cilantro is tasty when freshly served but tastes like soap when it's reheated
it always tastes like soap to me :/
@@annagallinat7788 Some people have genes that make it taste like that. Can't really do anything about it. 🤷♂️
that's interesting, i never noticed that about reheating, for me it's when it gets old and isn't fresh anymore, or if it's too much.
and when it's wilted and soggy ugh. Only best when fresh
Loooove the diverse cuisine that is always on this channel! Seriously the best!
BTW, this sense of humor is fantastic.
rly hope there was a spare bowl for that cameraman ;D
Press like if cilantro does NOT taste to soap
if it's fresh and in reasonable quantity, then yes. But every now and then i find it to be offputting and overwhelming. sometimes one sprig can taint a dish too much, but I'll still eat it. I'm not allergic to the degree that one leaf can ruin a dish.
I think the issue is that it has a very strong and characteristic smell. In large quantities, this can be overwhelming and therefore seem "soapy". That being said, it can also be true for many spices like anis, lemongrass and ginger. Those who complain about it are mostly people who generally don't like their spices and have easily overwhelmed taste nerves.
I'm not one of them, so just give me the cilantro!
Loving this series!!! Soup is king 👑
Anlong...love your recipes and your amazing simplicity
I was thinking; "why is he adding button mushrooms? They have no taste!". And now I know.
Yeah those button mushrooms are a great way to keep your weight down
In Malaysia we got many type of laksa. each recipe different from each state
Laksa kedah - rice noodle with fish lime broth
laksa penang - got two version theres one similar to kedah and another one is yellow mee with curry
Laksa Perak - spaghetti with a seafood broth (squid, prawn, crab and any seafood you can find)
Laksa Melaka - or some call it laksa nyonya. similar with the laksa u make just usually they put more coconut milk and prawn.
Laksa Johor - Spaghetti with a fish sour broth with coconut milk
Laksam Kelantan - homemade rice noodle with a creamy coconut milk thick fish broth
Laksa Serawak - shrimp paste soup with bee hoon(thin rice noodle)
Oh my god, this soup looks abolutely amazing. Im so gonna cook this this week!
You just cook all of my favorite foods.
Me who literally eating some Laksa rn: wait wut
I wish I could enjoy cilantro but can't change my genetics 😔
Maybe try laksa leaf if you can find it, its supposed to not trigger the sensation at least for some people who find cilantro tastes like soap, though funnily enough as someone who doesnt find cilantro tastes like soap... It tastes kinda like soap, its like cilantro but id say more lemony and slightly less bright
@@WadWizard thanks for the suggestion. I can enjoy cilantro in Mexican dishes, but it stands out in an unpleasant way in Asian food for me. 🎉🤗💕
Andong, this was sooooo much fun to watch! Thank you🤗🤗🤗♥️
Made this today. Awesome for a snowy day
Ideas: Frühlingssuppe, Erbsensuppe, Kartoffelsuppe, Ochsenschwanzsuppe, Aalsuppe, Soljanka
Did he seriously just say “red curry pubes?” 😂
I heard that too! Thought I was crazy.
I'm gonna try this for dinner tonight! thanks!
Oh man so need to try this
Cilantro tastes like soap. You just happen to like eating soap.
Also mushrooms are good actually.
Completely expected to hear Chris Broad show up after 14:00..
I know right!!
As someone who makes Tom kha and soups in general I can appreciate this series.
I am so stoked for this series. Soup is the best.
Andong: "we don't have the amount of seafood in Germany as in South East Asia"
Northern Germany: "am I a joke to you?"
Did you mean Netherland? Some people call them Swamp Germany.
Hm. Komme selbst aus dem Norden. Menge und Vielfalt des Fischangebots an den deutschen Küsten sind doch wirklich ziemlich bescheiden, wenn man das mit anderen Küstenregionen auf der Welt vergleicht.
yes, cilantro tastes like soap to me, ruins most south asian cuisine for me :(
Yes, Cilantro tastes like soap to me. I'm also a supertaster so that's weird.
Yes me too! Like perfumed soap🤢
Dude I'm South Asian with the same genes it's hell
I absolutely love cilantro. Especially in soup.
That looks sooooo gooood, i'm gonna try next week
Cilantro actually for me tastes like... coriander!!
me and my dad both think cilantro tastes like soap/ wet concrete, there is a high chance that this disparity is actually genetic though
It really is genetic. They even narrowed down the specific gene.
Sounds yummy! And I love cilantro as well.
The soundtrack that both you and Abroad in Japan use trips me out. Whever i hear it, i expect Chris to pop out
