Laksa

D. can make a wicked Laksa. Much better than what we got at the place serving the so-called "best Laksa in Sydney". It's not too complicado... she just uses a packet of Laksa powder (the same brand as the one we used for Cathy's Curry). This is fried with finely-chopped onion until it's smelling great, and then mixed with coconut milk and water. Chicken drumsticks are added, and, just before serving, spring onion, fish cake, tofu, prawns and bean sproats. The egg noodles are heated and put into deep bowls, and the soup ladled over the top (after making sure it's balanced, and maybe adding a bit of fish sauce and sugar to smooth it all out). Served with a head of fresh coriander and plenty of lemon for squeezing over the top.

We had trouble finishing our Laksa because Aladar and Deb visited for some gaming action, and brought along some snacks. We played Carcasonne and Digging, and Meteos on the DS. And we all got very excited with the recent 360 announcement (espesh Yak working on the music visualiser) and with the fake Revolution video. This is E3 week, and I'm like a five-year-old.
