Prima Taste Laksa Kit, 6.6-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 3)

I grew up in Asia where Laksa was a thing we frequently ate out and at home! I used to purchase these in bulk when I was visiting home and have felt relieved to have found this on Amazon. I’ve tried multiple variations of laksa paste and nothing compares to this. I prefer my laksa on the creamier side so I add a can of coconut milk in addition to the coconut powder included. I often use this as a base for hotpot and it’s always a huge hit !

Prima Taste makes the best instant Singapore laksa, in my opinion. I grew up in Singapore and laksa is one of my absolute favorite noodle dishes ever. Nothing else compares here in Honolulu, where most of them taste more like curry and they pile on so much irrelevant seafood that it's not even laksa anymore. Anyway. Earlier versions of Prima Taste used to include a sambal paste. It was so good and I'd ration it and savor it. Then I noticed the later versions no longer have the sambal. :(Depending on my mood, I've used spaghetti, shirataki (low-carb konjac noodles), to much success, for my family. I'd eat egg noodles but am not a fan of them. I'd add hard-boiled eggs, shrimp, aburage (puff tofu), bean sprouts (cleaned as much as I can coz the "tails" (roots) and the seed caps look kinda gross when they're still on), sliced fish cake, and sambal. YUM.

I used to live in Singapore, and fell in love with Laksa. Tried to make it from scratch, passable but no cigar. Also tried a variety of pastes and premade mixes. Prima Taste is the most authentic flavor. A tad expensive compared to others, but well worth it.

This is authentic... Follow directions and add fish balls, fish cake, or your favorite shellfish (mine is prawns) and it is great.

I lived in Singapore and the Far East for 15 years and Laksa was one of my favorite Asian meals and I have not been able to get the same flavor in any restaurants in the USA. This item, when fixed properly is as close as I can get to the actual taste of Singapore, adding noodles, seafood, tofu and Chinese fish balls makes a wonderful lunch.

This is not a noodle soup, as described on the package. You must provide your own noodles, shrimp, fish, etc. Once getting over my initial surprise at the misleading title on the box, it was very flavorful as a broth, without the addition of noodles or seafood. It was so good, in my opinion, that I think adding noodles would reduce the rich, delicious flavor of the broth. But it was nothing I could not have made at home, with a can of coconut milk and seasoning.

I am true blue Singapore who is very fussy with laksa, so I can honestly tell you this brand of laksa paste is as authentic as local food sellers in Singapore. Ignore that ignorant reviewer who claimed he/she can make this from scratch and the labeling is misleading, that person obviously do not know what Singaporean laksa is. This is a pre-mixed spice pack that requires you to add water, thick rice noodles (thin spaghetti is a good sub) and protein (meat, seafood etc). A pack can serve 2 to 3 pax with medium sized portions. I cannot imagine my kitchen not stocked up with a few packs of this!

Tried a few brands and this is the most authentic-tasting mix I have came across. Though it's a bit pricey on amazon and I believe you can find a better deal at your local Asian market.
