Can you blame me? That after having that unforgettable bowl of ramen at Ippudo, the soul in me still longs for something Japanese.

I need to tell you a place to get nice sushi which doesn’t really cost a bomb; it’s at a corner right smack in Chinatown, downtown Boston, but you might miss it easily since the small store is located inside a building. The sweet hubs googled this place after I told him about my desire for these rolled-up rice and we were back again after our first visit a few weeks back.

After the departure of the family, I got my hands on Laksa. They have brought the Prima-taste laksa premix and it is the closest resemblance (right down to the taste) I can get. It gets as spicy as it should even without my adding of the belachan chilli. The poor hubs prepared himself by filling a cup of ice and midway through the meal, had to go out to the living room to cool himself in front of the fan. =p Yup, it’s better this way. I certainly do not wish for additional flavour to be added to the bowl of laksa. Heheheh. No cockles I’m afraid but still I was very much satisfied with the result.

I love my Asian food a lot, really.

Brekky for today: Toast with egg mayo with cilantro and pancetta.

Note: Need to learn how to cook laksa from scratch and to make own sushi.
