Aunt Christina has lost most of her front teeth. Fortunately, this doesn't stop her from smiling and serving some jaw-dropping bowls of Sarawak Laksa, at the corner coffee shop Nam Chun, Lucky Garden, in Bangsar, KL.
Intriguingly, Sarawak Laksa is a variation of curry noodle soup dish that doesn't include curry in its ingredients. Its spiciness comes from a base of Sambal Belacan (a paste made from chilies and dried prawns, cuttlefish or fish), coupled with tamarind, garlic, galangal (a close relative of ginger), lemon grass and coconut milk, topped with omellete strips, chicken strips, prawns, fresh coriander and lime.The authentic Sarawak Laksa originates from the East Malaysian town of Kuching, Sarawak.
Aunt Christina, however, has admitted to some modification in her preparation. And one of her most important secret that I've discovered, is her unmistakable 'service with a smile'.
