LAKSA JOHOR (blog assignment 2)


The most popular food in my home state Johor is Laksa Johor. It is special dish in Johor because of it’s unique taste which is combination of spicy and sour. The main ingredients used are fish, prawns, shallots, garlic, asam jawa, chillies, coconut milk, kerisik, and lemon grass. Firstly, blended fish n prawns are steeped with coconut milk about 2 hours. Then, pounded chillies and curry paste is added and fry until it becomes thick. After that, kerisik is added and stir them all. Next, asam jawa and coconut milk is poured in the mixture and let it cooked about 20 minutes. Finally, some sugar and salt is added and if you want to make the taste sourer, one or two slice of asam gelugor is added. This dish usually served during open house with spaghetti, sambal belacan and lemon.
