Step 1: Boil spaghetti and drain well. Set aside. Boil fish with enough water to cover it. Set aside the fish stock. Drain, debone, and blend the fish.

Step 2: Heat up some oil and fry blended ingredients, laksa spices, and a bit of water. Boil until the mixture is cooked.

Step 3: Blend together shrimp, fish, and dried shrimp with fish stock. After that, pour into the mixture, add asam keping, kerisik, coconut milk, salt, and sugar. Boil until the mixture is a little thick.

Condiments: 

Lime
Bean Sprouts – ends trimmed
Long Beans – finely sliced
Radish – chopped
