i have loved laksa penang or as some call it laksa asam since i was a little kid in grade school... i would come home almost everyday smelling of the stuff...why? because i was a clumsy girl and sice there was never enough space in the cafeteria and enjoy it i usually sat next to a tree to have the little 50 cents bowl of laksa penang only to eventually spill it somewhere on my baju kurung....
growing up my mom never made laksa penang coz she's from terengganu and the only laksa she made was laksa kuah mentah or as i sometimes call it laksa kuah putih...it's sauce is similar to that of the laksam..anyway i'm not gonna argue if this dish is of kelantan or terengganu origin...since it's a futile effort..i'd have to be a historian...anyways back to laksa penang..well since my mom never made it i only had when we went out or when there's a pasar malam
after i started studying in japan...you usually get these cravings for food and the only way u get to eat them is if you cook it urself... and the easiest way to get the recipe is to go online... i have since forgotten from whom i got my recipe but i'm sure it came from the very popular
myresipi.com...so i'm afraid if you want the recipe you'll have to search there coz there are many laksa penang recipes, so you'll have to choose the right one for you...
anyway since we're in japan and we sometimes can't get the fish they use in Malaysia..i usually use さば(mackerel) or さんま(pacific saury)....
