While on our fortnightly marketing a few weeks ago at Geleen's 'Tropical Markt' - an Asian grocery store, we saw daum kesum, often used for masak asam pedas, and as for me, one of the key ingredient in the-glorious-ever-asam-laksa penang of my mom's. Motivated by the mere smell of it, I embarked into making it myself. Well, this was the third attempt, having cooked it twice last year - once when Z's craving (and me too) during her pregnancy and once more on I-have-to-work raya day. Back home, laksa Penang is the must-have menu during raya, almost a legacy, for the past 9 years.
With the exception of bunga kantan, I had all the other ingredients at hand. Also available was the crunchy 'cucur udang', a compulsory side addition, which according to Kyrz and Ez, is not qualified as a laksa Penang without it. I remembered how Kyrz would eat all the asam, daum kesum and bunga kantan...
Well, we had it for dinner for 2 nights in a row....lekker...

I've got a pokok daun kesum on my kitchen window sill. Almost killed it though as we both forgot to water it after my mum went home. Realised just in time. :)
