Back in KL for a leisure trip after a hiatus of eight years, lunch for Jeremiah today was a very delicious bowl of asam laksa. Unlike the laksa in Singapore that is curry-based, asam laksa uses fish paste and tarmarind that give the soup base a hot and sour flavour. Ordering the dish was not straight-forward at the Suria KLCC food court though.
Jeremiah: Aku mau satu mangkuk asam laksa ("I want a bowl of asam laksa")
Foodcourt staff: It is sour.
Jeremiah: Ya, asam. (A bit irritated, since asam means sour in Melayu)

Asam Laksa: RM 6.5 at the Suria KLCC food court |
