Laksa Noodle Soup

This is the dish I crave the most and is a must order dish from any Malaysian or Singaporian restuarant. I have eaten curry Laksa as long as I can remember.  I have never tried to make this dish myself because I was never able to find the Laksa sauce from the local Asian supermarket.  Until recently, I have developed an interest to mix sauces myself.  I went to my local Asian supermarket and literally went through every jar and sauce on the shelf.  I was determined to see what I can find to make my favorite dish.  I knew the Laksa soup is made from a shrimp base.  I remembered it was listed as Curry Laksa in the menu, so there must curry in it.  After couple of tries,  I finally created a recipe that I was content with.  I am happy that I can finally make this at home whenever I crave for it without paying a high price for a small bowl of Laksa.
