My cousin Lilian who has moved to Sydney long time ago organizes Christmas gatherings every year, her relatives from her husband Kien's large family will come over to her place for food, drinks and gift exchange after that.
We've been invited every since we moved to Sydney, last year we made Asam Laksa for them. Kien's family are originally from Vietnam but they are Chinese and speaks cantonese, we have a special mix of chinese and vietnamese cuisine every time we get together, so I decided to add in a little mix of Malaysian favourite hawker food in there.
I did all the cutting and chopping while wifey made the soup and noodles.
I forgot to take the picture of the Asam Laksa we made that day itself but this is a picture of one we made the next day fro the leftover soup. We used beehoon here as we finished off the lei fun, they couldn't have enough!
One of the aunties came over and ask me why we call it Ah Sam (阿三）and not Ah Yat（阿一）Ah Yi（阿二), I had to explain to them asam is actually tamarind in Malay.
