    You are the ideal person to investigate different Cultures and Culinary perspectives - You grew up in two cultures, actually three, your Dads Side, Your Moms Side, and from your side as a mixture of the two. I experienced a little of the same, My Mother was a Mixed Cherokee Indian, my Father a Mixed Irish German Jew. It does make a difference in how one experiences life and Food. So I think you see from at least three points of View Culturally , Mom's, Dan's, and Your own. The NHK Series, Through the Kitchen Window, would make a great Template to use to do several types of series. You have the Style and Talent to do this!

    Mmmm! That is my favorite Asian dish! I live in the UK and always go to a place called LYCHEE BAY ( previously called CHOP CHOP) in Shepherds Bush, next-door to Westfields, White City. I only go there when I'm down that side and always order the same thing: Singapore Laksa. Mine is served slightly differently each time I go, but always with the sambal of course. I always request some sugar and some black chilli; as neither ris put into the dish. I wish they would add sugar, like you did, because it really balances out the flavours and brings them out more. Each time I ask for sugar all the Asian staff give me a very strange look, but it's like you said, they all make it differently and in my case, the staff who work their are from different parts of Asia. Although I am of AfroCaribbean heritage and absolutely love the foods of my people, I really love Singapore Laksa and I could tell by the ingredients you added, your dish is packed with rich flavours, absolutely delicious; it was well made.

    For those wondering, "laksa" is a family of soup noodles made with a seafood-based broth. The broth itself may or may not contain coconut milk. They all invariably use "laksa" noodles, a springy rice noodle similar to udon but less chewy and thinner. Some may substitute this with egg noodles though I'm of the opinion that this no longer makes it laksa. Variations of laksa include: •Katong •Johor •Penang/Assam •Utara/Kedah

    Cockles are dug from the mud and it's not just inside the shell that you will encounter that mud. The fisher will rinse them in clean salt water, but it is always a good idea to give them an extra rinse yourself. I actually once got a bad batch where the animals were stuffed with sand. Ate a few but all the sand between my teeth made it a horrible experience. Threw most of them away.

    some said put a bit of chillie seeds when washing the Kerang or some lemon leaves... they tends to make the kerang spits sands out of them..

    Hey Liz, that looks so good I'm sure I can smell it!. My favourite Laksa in london is down in Chelsea, it's called Phat Phuc, pure love and goodness its the best I've tried so far. Keep up the amazing work.

    That’s the only Laksa I’ve ever had- and am obsessed. I can’t find Laksa ANYWHERE in my location (Kansas, middle of US). It’s a laksa desert. 😢
