Congratulate me. I feel energetic and I don’t feel sleepy…. not at all. Today was a no rice day for me. Lunch was this delicious hot bowl of Prawn Laksa and dinner was bread and Buffalo Wings. I tried a new hot sauce and a new recipe for Buffalo Wings and it works! Only peanutbutter♥ was already hungry and I didn’t have time to take a photo so I’m saving that for another day.
Somebody has been craving for Laksa for more than a week now…..
You might think it was me because I’m the one who’s pregnant but you’re wrong! peanutbutter♥‘s the one who’s craving. He even ordered a bowl of it last thursday at Rumah Saté at Ketchup Community in Baguio. I guess he wasn’t satisfied. It had to be cooked at home. So while I was busy being a judge at the 1st Navotas Food Festival Search for Navoteño Chef 2015 (whew! that was long) this morning, he went ahead and bought the ingredients for this Prawn Laksa — well, except for the Laksa paste ’cause we already have that at home.
He did all the cooking….well, except for the tofu, which he said takes so long to fry. Yeah, tofu and peanutbutter♥ never gets along and their problem dates waaaayy back..heehee. Tofu and I get along just fine so I did the frying and the plating, of course!
What a creamy, spicy, and flavorsome lunch! Judging from the smile on peanutbutter♥‘s face and the sweat on his forehead, I’d say he was satisfied with two big bowls of Prawn Laksa!

Laksa is one of my favorite food. I’ve tried for the first time in Singapore.
It’s delish, right?
This laksa looks so aromatic and flavoursome. I have to try the recipe!
Thanks Thalia!

I absolutely LOVE Prawn Laksa but I’ve never made it myself (I guess I haven’t been able to find the right recipe!) This looks so yummy. I can’t wait to finally be able to make my own Prawn Laksa, thanks for this recipe <3

This one is a very easy recipe for it. It’s about time you give it a try.

That looks absolutely warm and wonderful! What a great valentines day dinner that would be. Thanks for sharing. I just may try that!
what a great idea! This is superb for Valentine’s!
I’ve never heard of Laksa before, but it sounds delicious! My husband and I learned to make a similar dish while we were in Thailand on our honeymoon.
Then I’m sure you’ll love this too, Samantha!
That looks both beautiful and delicious. I had never heard of it before now but it looks like something hubby and I both would love to try!

If you love noodles, seafood, and coconut milk, then I’m sure you’ll love this.
I am not a big fan of seafood, but this looks absolutely delicious. I would definitely give this a try!
You can substitute chicken if you don’t like seafood and it’ll be just as good.
OMG everything about this looks delish (minus tofu since I’m allergic LOL). But I love shrimp and all seafood so this is just perfect. And we have some amazing international markets around so finding the ingredients should be pretty easy.
I’m sure you’ll find all the ingredients.I hope you give this a try.
this looks so yummy!! 🙂 I don’t know if I could have a no rice day. I feel like a meal isn’t complete without it!
Well, sometimes there are days when you have to replace it with noodles!heehee Thanks local Adventurer!
That looks delicious! I am saving it for future reference.

I haven’t tried Laksa dish yet maybe because I’m not into spicy. No rice day? I can’t live without rice. lol
You can have it mild instead of spicy. I’m sure you’ll like it Michi!
Yummy!! Hmm.. Do I dare to cook that at home? Looks difficult 🙁
Yes! It’s not difficult. I swear.
I love Laksa! It’s my favorite dish whenever I’m in Malaysia or Indonesia. Great photos! Makes me hungry and crave Laksa now. Thank you for sharing! 🙂

This looks very delicious, I want to try making it at home (well, maybe without the tofu? hehehe) I wonder if any of our grocers here sell Laksa paste.
I’m sure they sell it there. You don’t like tofu? Why? It’s is really good.
Yummy yummy food! Can I feature/repost this recipe of yours at my food blog? Pretty please?

Sarap naman! I want a bowl of Prawn Laksa right now. Look so good Peach,:)
Thanks Melgie.
Surely this will be a hit for my husband. 🙂 We loved shrimp 🙂 Thank you for sharing this Peachy.
you’re welcome Heart.
Whenever I crave for laksa, I go to Pao Tsin and order their laksa soup. Cheap and delish, hehe. Or sometimes, I buy Koka instant noodles (laksa Singapura flavor) at the supermarket. Now, if I’d want to make laksa from scratch, this recipe will come in handy, so thank you for sharing it here! 🙂
May Laksa flavor pala ang Koka? I will look for it so I can try!
Looks goood! I wish I can cook (and photograph) food as good as you! 🙂
Thanks Marie. It just takes a lot of practice.
I love laksa but it’s really hard to find a good place that cooks it outside. Maybe will try making it with your recipe above when I get the time.
I sure hope you get the time. This Laksa is to die for.
You sure take great photos sis! I love all the photos, the food presentation! and the recipes too.. 🙂
Thank you so much January!
This is a Malaysian dish Sis, am I right? I think I’ve already tasted it from one of the restaurants in Subic few years ago and this is really delicious and also spicy which I like (love spicy foods). Thanks for sharing the recipe. Might want to try this as well. 🙂
This is a Tuguegarao dish, sis. You’ll like it.
I suddenly miss laksa. The best I’ve tasted was in Jonker88!
I love laksa. I first time I tasted this was an instant version from Singapore. It’s a complete meal too!
Yeah, laksa is a complete meal.
