Instant Laksa!!

I have a friend who is a big fan of laksa, so much that he will carry bags of laksa soup and noodles separately from Singapore to be shared and served in Hong Kong. Now there is a solution, cheap(er) without a sacrificing quality.

Prima Taste series!!!

Prima Taste instant laksa from Singapore packs some rare excellence you find in instant noodles and in my humble opinions beats restaurants in many sense. First, it just costs $20-ish, as compared to $50-ish from Singaporean restaurants in Hong Kong.

Second, it is convenient, as you can take them anywhere you want.

Third, it is clean and well-packaged.

Instructions are simple and clear, everyone can cook a decent bowl of laksa easily.

It comes with a packet of rich-flavoured, generous portion of shrimp paste,

Coconut powder

and lots of coconut powder adding that tropical punch to it.

Here you can see all the ingredients,

but for me, what matters most is surely the taste and texture of the noodles.

Boiling noodles in soup

The cooking is as simple as adding 500ml of water to all the soup base and then throw in the noodles to cook for 7 minutes,

Then in the last minute, throw in your choice of meat or vegetables. I love bean products but unfortunately I couldn't find any on the day of cooking.
 |
Uniqueness in every bowl!

Even leaving the noodles for 30 minutes after cooking, the noodles still remain as the most chewy and real laksa-like, which is quite remarkable as this is the kind of quality you might not even find in restaurants. And the soup! Oh!! The soup!!!! Tastes unbelievably original than anything I have tried! And it just tastes better as you add more ingredients in the process of cooking.

On the other hand, there are several more choices from Prime Taste apart from Laksa, say this Chilli Crab La Mian,

The cooking procedures are kind of similar to those of the laksa,

except that this time round you don't cook noodles in soup, you add sauce after the noodles have been cooked.

Slightly red noodles

Maybe it was just me, but it seems that the noodles didn't turn out to be as colourful as that on the packet,
 |
Added beef beside it

and for me, it wasn't spicy enough. But hey, my level of tolerance for spiciness is really high. My wife cannot stand even a little bit of this, so...
Overall, I still think the Laksa is the best bargain, and if you are a laksa fan, you have got to try this!
