I am a laksa eating fool. Seriously, laksa is good for whatever ails you. It's perfect Summer food. perfect Winter food, perfect snack food, perfect hangover food. It's also bloody easy. Which is why I am often disappointed with the quality of what is passed off in some establishments as "laksa". Note to readers: The crap that is sold as laksa in most suburban "food courts" is not LAKSA.
So I was chuffed when, last week in Sydney, the delicious Grocer asked Furry and I to accompany her to her fave laksa house. Jokes about my syntax and typing skills aside, we had a wonderful time. The laksa served here is the real deal. The balance between sweet and salty was perfect. The fish sauce was subtle, but present enough in the second note to perfectly compliment the coconut milk. The chicken was fall-apart tender, and the skin tofu was generous. A super generous helping of smokey chilli paste added another dimention.
Furry, who was suffering through the 2nd worst hangover of his life was initially skeptical, but a serve of their AMAZING spring rolls and some deep-fried tofu skin wrapped around sweet pork, set him aright!!
A quick jaunt back to Grocer's to meet WORLD'S BEST DOG (Hi, Fella!!) and to sample WORLD'S BEST MILK, made for a most excellent day!
