Breakfast of the Gods: Laksa Sarawak

35 years, never tried laksa sarawak and now an american woman cooked it for you.. the way of this universe works is simply the best

[@muhammadkhusairybakri5794]

I'm a Sarawakian living in Pullman, WA, USA. I am trying my best to cook Sarawakian dishes, and my neighbor like them a lot. But trust me, whenever I cook Malaysian dishes, someone will ask me what I am cooking today. LOL! They say it smells nice, and they like the flavors a lot! I ended up teaching them how to make roti canai as well.

I’m from Kuching, Sarawak, thank you for featuring this video and it seems that Sarawak Laksa has obviously blown your minds. For the best Laksa in Sarawak, it varies from person to person as some may like it more creamy/thick, some like it spicier/diluted, and there are those who likes it in between. The best you can get is in Kuching, Sarawak and honestly there are many types of dishes other than laksa Sarawak when you visit Kuching in the future. Such as the dayak dishes, ayam pansuh, umai, tempoyak. Chinese ones too such as Sarawak kolomee, kuey chap, lei cha etc. We are also famous for midin (fiddlefern) here. Personally I prefer it in between and a little to the creamier side(meaning more santan). I like the ones from “mom’s laksa” @ jalan haji taha(original branch). There are other places too but it’s hard to mention them all as they are usually stalls around kopitiams in kuching. Extracted this info: “ the local legend is that a Chinese Teochew immigrant from Guangzhou named Goh Lik Teck first began peddling his noodle dish along Kuching’s Carpenter Street in 1945. The dish was only made up of six (6) ingredients, which is how it got its name - the Hokkien term for six is "lak" and "sa" is slang for vermicelli.” Besides those, you can get quick fixes at home by purchasing the lee fah instant sarawak laksa. They are the blue and red packaging with 4 packs in them. Those come close and are better than most of the mediocre ones here.

[@bungaialoevera]

@@madkhaliqfarhan, the story of how laksa Sarawak came to being was published some years ago. It was made by an uncle for school kids. In my culture, we always refer to our young ones as our "little gods". That is the reason why it is never a meal that traditionally featured pork. The meat and prawns can easily be replaced with julienne cucumber and fried squared soy bead curds for the vegetarian version. This dish was "created" so that everyone can enjoy it - Muslims, non-Muslims, vegetarian & non-vegetarian alike.

Yes! Laksa sarawak is the best among all laksas we have in Malaysia. Laksa Johor probably came after. Now I feel like cooking one for sahur 🥺 if you have the ready-made paste (brand: Hj Manan), youre good to go! It doesnt take too much time to prepare it hehe

So amazed to see Rachel 'panggang' belacan like a local cook! Well done Rachel!! Raw bean sprouts/ taugeh is sweet and crunchy...try without cooking it..just pour the curry over it Leftover galangal/ lengkuas and lemongrass / serai can be frozen till later use. It will be soft after thawed and easier to blend

[@alsetalokin88]

fried belacan is best. chinese celery as garnishing would be perfect.

I'm a Sarawakian living in the Netherlands. My husband cannot get enough of Sarawak laksa. When we are back in Kuching, it is all he eats for breakfast and for my kiddo's, it is hands down red kolo mee. Well done on making Sarawak laksa from scratch. Usually if you make the paste, let it rest for a day or longer ( you can freeze the remaining paste) and it will blow your mind even further 😂 I'm so happy to see you all enjoy my favourite laksa 💗💗💗

[@Камзанамичда]

Laksa Sarawak is indeed an amazing underrated Malaysian dish. It should stand on the same level with Rendang (or maybe after Rendang 😅). And you guys making it from scratch, that's so incredible. Hats off!! Anyway, just a tip for presentation, it's better if you pour the soup first before you do the decoration. The garnish will look fresher on photo. And oh ya Rachel, you acctually can shred the chicken using hand mixer (am I saying it right? The machine use to mix the cake batter. Lols!) Time and energy saving. Haha. Great video as always. Love from Perak ❤

There was this "auntie" but she's retired. But you could try the place that the late Anthony Bourdain went to - Choon Hui Cafe or the other option is Mom's Laksa (they have many branches peppered around Kuching). I'm impressed you made the paste from scratch. I had to have my mom mailed it to us here in Maine. And no, I'm not sending you my stash - it's the most precious commodity here in my household, next to the Bintulu belacan.

As a Sarawakian, I would like thank both Kumaar and Rachel for doing this "breakfast of the gods" - Sarawak laksa video. Yes, indeed it is more than a breakfast of/for the gods. Almost all Sarawakians love this food, from the very old to the young. Literally, the minute we are weaned from our mothers' milk we start eating Sarawak laksa - exaggeration of course 🤣🤣. Jokes aside, for me, the best Sarawak laksa place in the world is, of course, in Kuching, Sarawak. And, in Kuching, the best place to get it is at Da' Apple kopitiam, Jalan Chan Chin Ann, Kuching, Sarawak, which is next to the Sarawak Plaza complex. If you and your family ever come to visit us in Kuching, call me up and I will bring you there.

U can get the Sarawak laksa paste online on the “A” site in the States (mentioned the full name earlier and my comment got deleted). Less the fuss. Buy the Haji Manan brand, tho I prefer Burung Bayan but it’s not available on A. Add lightly smashed ginger, galangal n lemongrass while boiling the paste. Some dashes of evaporated milk together with the santan to make it creamier. Top it with coriander leaves while serving. Don’t forget sambal belacan and calamansi for extra kick. Just blend toasted belacan with lotsa red chillies (deseeded) for the sambal. Those will bring ur laksa Sarawak game to a whole new level.

I remembered trying it in Kuching the first time and it was delicious! It does have the mix between Chinese curry + Penang prawn mee broth but I think the ratio to make the sambal is different compared to the usual Chinese curry (in Ipoh) and the prawn mee broth. Overall, Malaysian food is full of colours! And oh yes, I think the Chinese curry (in Ipoh) doesn't have the belacan straight in to the curry. That could be the biggest difference me thinks. All in all, kudos and great job to Rachel for doing 99% of the cooking (other than the omelet) and Logesh's "bowl-ing" is 5 stars yummy. I was thinking that you guys have been too "kiam siap" (stingy - in Hokkien) on the broth haha... but Logesh made good by topping up some broth just enough to soak all the food in. (Kai kai doesn't fancy bee hoon? haha)

It's impressive that you prepared the laksa paste from scratch. I'm a Sarawakian, I know not many Sarawakians know or willing to make the paste themselves due to the amount of work involved in preparing it; many (including myself) would just settle with premade paste bought from supermarket. It's not that I can tell the difference anyway 😁 BTW I may be bias due to being a Sarawakian but I personally think laksa Sarawak's "kuah" has the richest taste of all Malaysian laksa I've tasted so far.

[@dayangfaridah586]

You are right. It is not easy to prepare the paste and it certainly is time consuming. Hats off to Rachel and Logesh for doing it. Maybe someone frkm Sarawak can send them the ready made paste. It has nothing to do with bias that you think the broth is really tasty and yummy because IT IS. Period.

I commend you both for trying to make Laksa Sarawak from scratch... certainly not the easiest thing to do. That is why many Sarawakians prefer to buy the paste instead. I think you can also get them online. I think the Bayan Bird Brand is the pioneer of the packet paste. By the way... you can't be generous with the coconut milk because laksa Sarawak may use coconut milk in it but not in generous amount or else it will overpower the whole taste. Same with chillies. I read somewhere that the late Anthony Bourdain wanted to bring laksa Sarawak to the US back then but not sure if he managed to do that before he passed on... As for the best laksa in Sarawak... Anthony Bourdain had his at Choon Hui Cafe. Another good one is at Chong Choon (Poh Lam stall) Cafe. Both are in Kuching. Mom's Laksa Kopitiam is another one where you can get a good one (halal). We've tried other places and they are just as nice. I had one in 2004 at Serapi Corner (halal)... they did their both a bit thicker and spicier. That's basically the differences that you will get.

Would love to visit Sarawak & taste the real deal one day!

Please visit Dapur Sarawak at Shah Alam. The most authentic one by far for Klang valley area

Best place to try Laksa Sarawak is in Kuching! You can try Choong Choon Cafe in Jalan Chan Chin Ann or Golden Arch Cafe in Jln Dato Tawi Sili, or 126 Laksa. Make sure you go early in the morning!

[@nadzalamp]

I'm amazed, you are making it from scratch. Where here we just bought laksa paste....thumbs up dear Malaysian.....

[@layleyniasmith7619]

Proud Sarawakian here! Thank you soo much for the love that you guys have for our Laksa Sarawak. It is indeed the best laksa in the world!

[@nickypd5747]

Salute u guys for making the paste from scratch.... I think u guys can add more paste into the broth so it would be more flavourful... As for laksa place in Kuching, Sarawak I would suggest : 1. Choon Hui Cafe (of course) @ Jalan Ban Hock 2. Chong Choon Cafe @ Jalan Chan Chin Ann 3. ON3 Kopitiam @ Jalan Song

[@EricSST13]

Yup that’s right

[@KumaarFamily]

Awesome list! Thank you.

[@edwinyeong1867]

wow ..sedap... I like it ..I guessed u all are amazing ..😍😍👋👋

[@sookokng4966]

Laksa Sarawak is the bomb. It is best fresh from the stall but if not available there is instant noodle packet which taste amazing too. I bought many packets of it from Kuching

[@rafisahanum3621]

Kt Malaysia ni prnh try sume laksa...& Semua sedap..laksa johor ke, laksa sarawak ke, laksa utara (kedah) ke, laksa penang ke...sume sedappp!! Laksam pun pnh try.. 👍👍😋😋

[@amilhakim7653]

yes, havent tried laksa sarawak myself in my 29years of life.. thing is it's hard to find people selling it in semenanjung.. but recipe itself looks a lot similar to the nyonya curry laksa. wonder whats the difference.

[@shookhwathen8490]

The paste is different. Bihun is used instead of mee. Other ingredients are taugeh, prawn, limau kasturu, belacan .... It does not taste like nyonya curry laksa. Like Kumar said, you have to try it to know it tastes definitely better than curry laksa. If it tastes like curry, it is not authentic Sarawak laksa. In the past, the Sarawak laksa sold in West Malaysia tasted more like curry laksa to me. Now it is getting better.

[@jollycolours]

Proud Johorean here (I'm also extremely proud of my state's laksa) but I'll give my vote for Sarawak Laksa any day 😍 Savoury, peppery, warm and comforting! Thanks for sharing the recipe 😊

[@kazardomain]

do you know beside Laksa Sarawak there also Laksa Borneo.you guys can get it at James Brooke Bistro & Cafe located at Kuching Waterfront..of course there array of local signature such as Mee Kolo, Mee Belacan, Mee Brunei and many more. Suggested best location for Laksa Sarawak is Yuyu Cafe in Satok. Of course there a local brand known as Mom Laksa and they have few outlets. Few restaurants in Kl also serve Sarawak dish such as Dapo Sarawak, Kedey Kamek at TTDI.

[@Uryanxiy]

Jangan risau. Saya pon x pernah cuba laksa Sarawak 🤧 tp, suatu hari nanti, sya nk pergi sarawak dan cuba sendiri!!🔥🔥🔥

[@Cyshix]

The dedication and love that you put in your videos about our country is admirable!

[@user-we9dg8pu5s]

Yup. I also really love laksa sarawak. I'm 24 & I just tried it last year & immediately fall in love with the taste. My mom is from Kedah so, we always ate laksa kedah but laksa sarawak is my fav now. sorry mom😂

[@djrogb]

Now that you look like you’re in Malaysia. Come to Kuching, Sarawak. Anthony Bourdain’s favourite is at Choon Hui Cafe on Ban Hock Road. My personal favourite though is Alfred’s laksa at Sung Heng Cafe near Wisma Mahmud. Everyone’s favourite Sarawak laksa is not cooked at home, because the favourites are all at stalls whose recipes as Anthony Bourdain said contains the wisdom of the ages. It’s each stall’s best kept secret.

[@noraziahamelina4789]

Actually here they even sell laksa sarawak paste so its easier for u to make the laksa, just boil it, and pun santan and water and the broth is done..😊
