You are about to make Laksa, a silky orange hued coconut prawn spiced noodle soup. Claimed native by Singaporean, Malays, Thais and Indonesians, it is one of the most popular Peranakan dishes. It is also a love story where Chinese merchants and native fell in love and mix their culinary cultures.
I made this EXPERIENCE series to immerse our senses with the spotlighted food. The first series is Laksa!
MUSIC: I have made a playlist that consists of Malay, Chinese golden hits in the 60-70s, go here to listen. Put it on while you're making Laksa in the kitchen.
WATCH:
- Movie: Crazy Rich Asian (2018)
A movie to pretend that you are in Singapore tonight!
- Series: Street Food Asia- Singapore (Netflix)
Have you seen Street Food Asia, Singapore episode? Better watch this before you make Laksa. Guaranteed to make your mouth water!
- Movie: Ramen Shop by Eric Khoo (2018)
A foodie movie that connects Japan to Singapore, ramen to bakut teh. Definitely recommended.
MAKE: my Laksa & soya pudding recipe!
