Laksa Sarawak

If you go to Sarawak, don't ever forget to try laksa Sarawak.Ranges from RM3.50 to RM5.50 depending on the size of the prawn and bits of chicken,you'll find it everywhere from the roadside stalls to the 5 star hotels.I'd recommend you to go to the hawker stalls though. That, my fren, taste better to us rakyat marhain or commoners :D I recommend you to try out one located behind Crowne Plaza Hotel Riverside,Kuching.The stall is called Gerai Mohamed Lim,a mualaf.He cooks fiery laksa.Just ask anyone around the area about "laksa Mohamed Lim" and most of them can point the way to the stall.

There is a secret in cooking your own laksa.The secret lies in the prawn and chicken juice.You must add it in the laksa gravy, or else it will taste somehow bland.My Mom substitutes the usual prawns with udang galah, the giant river prawns (macrobrachium rosenbergii) of Sarawak.

That,my fren, is Heaven to me.
