#curry laksa

Ipoh Kopitiam, 1411 S Garfield Ave, Ste 104, Alhambra, CA 91801

Ipoh Kopitiam sure is popular, perhaps because there are so few Malaysian restaurants in the area. The owner is from Ipoh, Malaysia. The menu includes Malaysian and Singaporean food, including kaya toast, roti canai, rice dishes (Hainan chicken, nasi lemak, beef rendang), noodle dishes (wonton mee, prawn mee), side orders, and drinks (including Malaysian white coffee, Malaysia black coffee).

Singaporean curry laksa ($15.95): round rice noodles of medium thickness, curry broth, fried tofu puffs, sliced fish cakes, two huge head on prawns, 1 hard boiled egg, bean sprouts. The broth is medium spicy and deep with the flavors of lemongrass, galangal, and shrimp paste. Everything was tender and slightly sweet, including the prawns, egg, tofu, fish cakes, broth, etc.  I think the ingredients are better at Ipoh Kopitiam but I prefer the laksa at QQ Kopitiam in Pasadena – it seems more complex.

Malaysian white coffee ($3.95): similar to Vietnamese iced coffee, strong but sweet (it contains condensed milk), not as strong as Vietnamese iced coffee though

The space looks nice – new, clean, and bright with white walls and color pictures of hawker stalls. You can check in on the iPad by the entrance. There are parking spaces behind the restaurant and also in an underground garage.

4 out of 5 stars.

 CURRY LAKSA

As memory fades, I tend to repeat the same mistakes again and again.

In an even more worrying sign of my decrepitude, I seem to blank out pain.  Either that, or I am drawn too easily towards fiery heat.  This masochistic tendency often ends up in tears.  So when the waiter kindly cautioned that these dishes were HOT, I stupidly ignored him.

Signature curry laksa, rice noodles, tofu puffs, bean sprouts, green beans with classic chicken.  I did wonder what classic chicken was.  A few (6?) chicken slivers.  Although the portion sizes were a bit miserly, the soup base was good, the noodles well done but it was the spice which brought many tears.  Then again, looking at the menu, it may have been combined with a rather full price.  I never learn.

Mandy’s Assam Laksa, spicy sour, fruity fragrant with rice noodles, mackerel, galangal, shrimp paste, tamarind and lemon grass.  As my dining companion had gone with something more edible (medium spice please), I could taste more here besides unrelenting fire.  Sweet, sour and spicy combined with shredded mackerel and pineapple to remind me of being back in the South East.  A much more pleasant experience.

Pandan almond cake with coconut yoghurt.  A delightful end to the meal with sweet pandan and cooling yoghurt on the side.  Soothed my burning throat.  The taste was good but being somewhat of an avid baker of pandan goods myself, it was not something that special.  Could have done this at home.

For as much as I moan and complain, it is good to see somewhere offering more than generic South East Asian food.  It also had not really been dumbed down that much for Western palates (or perhaps it was just what I got).  It was a decent meal, but I wouldn’t necessarily be hurrying back as it is a bit pricey for what it is.  On the plus side, perhaps this visit will improve my memory, as even half a day after visiting, my mouth was still burning.

  A quiet eating 7.5/10.

Lunch (a laksa and a dessert) was GBP20 excluding drinks and service.

it’s always me vs forgetting to take food out of the freezer to thaw and then i’m left to figure out what to cook bc my original plans have to be pushed back

[kiran-wears-science-blues]

i am so glad i’ve gotten back into meal prep because it is such a load off my mind to just be able to grab a dish out of the fridge and nuke it

also by virtue of dedicating half a day to cooking once a week i get way better meals and it is a gift

Time to cook curry laksa!

[buffetlicious]

There are always packages of Prima Taste’s popular Laksa LaMian somewhere in our house. You see, mum love eating this instant noodles with aromatic coconut curry soup. Sis prepared this bowl of laksa (叻沙) with additional ingredients of shabu shabu pork and pork & vegetable dumplings. Can’t wait to dig in after the camera had “eaten”. :D

i’m on the precipice of making laksa from scratch. i can feel it : on the cusp of an awakening regarding coconut cream and shrimp paste and birds eye chilli. and wielding it in the kitchen without fear.

Diggin’ the Snapdragon name and logo, and the laksa curry noodles were pretty good too — a nice addition to my add-boiling-water lunch genre.
