Trying Laksa Sarawak For Breakfast 🇲🇾 Swiss Family Tries Signature Food

Everybody told me to try Laksa Sarawak. Always. Since we arrived here, even before. If you go to Sarawak, you must this very important and famous food that Anthony Bourdain called "the breakfast of the Gods". Now we tried it. Actually it was me and my son that ate it. Was it good? How did I like it? And, let´s be honest, what did the boy think? Did we really like it so much. It really is a hate or love thing lots of people told me. Is that so? Let´s check out the video and find out what happend.
We would appreciate if you gave the video a like and a comment, maybe even a share on your social media accounts. Let´s see if we can beat the algorithm and make the things that we say about Laksa Sarawak be known to the whole world.

Late Anthony Bourdain once said Laksa Sarawak is breakfast of gods. 😅😊. Enjoy the meal !

[@yvesthesleeve]

Yes I know, wanted to try it also because of him. I am a big fan

[@ukchub6633]

Ikr but no one believe not even wabikong channel the penang he just keep saying he's penang Laksa is better but I keep telling every penang Laksa is not Laksa 😂 is asam Laksa. But anyway omg!

[@cheryll8008]

Sarawak laksa is the best for me! No doubt about it!

[@michaelhodgson9081]

​@@yvesthesleeveyeah it's 'not bad' ;)

[@zanzillahsaruji9966]

When i eat the laksa i will make sure nothing left inside the bowl 😂😂😂

[@margaretekalaiabdullah8745]

For your info...all the races in Sarawak cook the same recipe for Our Sarawak Laksa. You can get the laksa paste in the super market or any stores....

[@yvesthesleeve]

Ah okay

[@cooknengr]

I am glad you all enjoyed sarawak laksa...legend has it, original recipe has 32 spices in the gravy paste. Year ago every one buy the soup base paste from one seller so all laksa tasted quite similar, nowadays each shop has their own flavor but still not too far off from the original.

[@yvesthesleeve]

I think it's very special

[@user-tt1ed6ny2d]

i remember older generation always mention there used to have a guy riding a bicycle with front carriage selling the original soup base paste at carpenter street. actually the soup would taste bad if the soup is watery instead of being gravy. like the watery laksa sold by canteen of my school Kuching High. 😅

[@chaw294]

Yaaay....finally, you and Vincent tried Sarawak laksa...."Breakfast of the God" as quoted by Anthony Bourdain. Sir, l think it doesn't matter which race (Malay or Chinese) cook this laksa, it's Sarawak laksa...very much different from the laksa available in Peninsula Malaysia. Anyway, great to see both daddy and son love it. What an awesome breakfast !

[@yvesthesleeve]

It really was awesome

[@alberttay2297]

I saw you this morning at Medan Mall. Got a bit excited coz I watched your videos. I couldn't stop to say hello and welcome to Sibu. Hope you have a great time here.

[@yvesthesleeve]

thanks a bunch

[@ukchub6633]

Tbw moonshine its sambal the real authentic thats where the sambal start everything got famous start from here in sarawak then later spread. Its not made from fish its a prawn paste. The laksa you tried it contain no fish ,no fish in the soup. Anyway the sambal we call it sambal belacan in sarawak famous. Mainland sambal and othet world part arw not sambal they just simple chilie with normal mix. Sambal belacan in sarawak are special. Just to let yiu know. Glad you tried and hope you really like 😊

[@yvesthesleeve]

[@johnkong5632]

i want to clarify with you that it wasn't chilli sauce but prawn paste (belacan) to thicken n spice up the broth. You are supposed to squeeze the calamansi/ lemon into the belcan and mix to make it into a paste before you mix it with d broth to spice up.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Alright, it makes sense, this is what this is making special, the prawn paste.

[@abgbotak248]

Unlike other laksa from Malaysia, Sarawak Laksa's broth is primarily prawn based while the others are fish based.

[@yvesthesleeve]

I see

[@hplagt6880]

Finally trying Sarawak laksa. Actually, there is not much difference between malay or chinese laksa because the basic ingredients are all the same. The only difference is the thickness of the broth because it uses coconut milk. Unlike kolo mee. There is a big difference between malay and chinese kolo mee because the chinese uses pork and pork lard.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Ah yes

[@GarieySia]

yup, agree on that too. As a local, the Chinese Laksa are thinner on the broth due to health conscious. on Malay Laksa, the use of coconut milk is sure, thus made the broth more thicker. otherwise, both ingredients for Malay & Chinese Laksa Sarawak are the same. FYI, Laksa is Chinese origin. 😊

[@isaiahpudun]

Hi sir…your son seems like it..one of my favourite as well..

[@yvesthesleeve]

Yes sure

[@imangarrix5904]

West Malaysia laksa is fish based whereas Sarawak laksa is prawn based.

[@auntydannskitchen3009]

Its the calamansi to balance the taste of the laksa as it content coconut milk . Its great that you and your son tried eating laksa Yummy isn't it.

That Sarawak Laksa serving was a huge one. It taste very unique compared with the other Laksa from other states. It's one of the most underrated noodle dishes in the world, that even Anthony Bourdain speaks highly of. And to make it sound more interesting, one of the ingredients in the broth is lemongrass!😂😊✌️

@@ukchub6633 Well, it is just our opinion after trying many Laksa. It is not old-fashioned, it is personal taste. Not trying to be racist, we are just comparing food. And for you to condemn people's taste for food is like telling us only your opinion matters and others are wrong? I was suggesting different places to eat as in his video the vlogger was asking about it. So, salahkah orang tolong jawab? The vlogger asked was there a difference between laksa made by different races. Put aside your political thinking, we are here to give suggestions with good intention to help him and his family find food so that they enjoy their stay.

[@cityliving-rainforestperson]

Glad you finally tried the Sarawak laksa. 12:16 There’s only one Sarawak laksa. The difference is in how different people do the broth. Chinese normally cooked it a little light while the Malays tend to cooked the broth a bit thicker and until the coconut oil breaks… like the children’s song “some like it hot (thin), some like it cold (thick)”. 😄 The laksa paste is boiled in prawn broth and then coconut milk is added.
