I kinda predicted this! There were also a lot of interesting recipes suggested by other viewers. Hope we get to see some of those too.

I honestly think that soup might be my favourite type of dish, and laksa is one of my favourite soups! I love this series, keep it up!

Andong is VERY VERY knowledgeable in what he does considering that he does not come from either culture so i respect him for that

That 80´s music when you went outside is just hilarious 😂 😂

In Malaysia we got many type of laksa. each recipe different from each state Laksa kedah - rice noodle with fish lime broth laksa penang - got two version theres one similar to kedah and another one is yellow mee with curry Laksa Perak - spaghetti with a seafood broth (squid, prawn, crab and any seafood you can find) Laksa Melaka - or some call it laksa nyonya. similar with the laksa u make just usually they put more coconut milk and prawn. Laksa Johor - Spaghetti with a fish sour broth with coconut milk Laksam Kelantan - homemade rice noodle with a creamy coconut milk thick fish broth Laksa Serawak - shrimp paste soup with bee hoon(thin rice noodle)

That was perfect! Way to go, Andong!

I think the issue is that it has a very strong and characteristic smell. In large quantities, this can be overwhelming and therefore seem "soapy".
