Sneak Peak Phillipines

This weekend.  I promise! Below photo is from the beautiful island of Busuanga, Philippines where we had a private boat take us around the islands for a day : )

Joanne's New Obsession

LAKSA!  I can't get enough of this spicy, coconut milk soap with tofu, noodles, and vegetables. On any given day a bowl of laksa is great - doesn't matter if its raining, or 100 degrees outside.   I have now tried numerous laksa places in the city including, Laksa King (41/43 Erskine Street), Jimmy's Recipe (500 George Street), The Old Fitzroy Hotel (129 Dowling Street), Lee's Malaysian (1 Hunter Street), and some place in North Sydney... but the best laksa in Sydney by far is Malay Chinese Takeaway (58 Hunter Street). The bowl is huge and it has just the right amount of spice. Below is a picture of the laksa from Malay Chinese Takeaway - the entire bowl was eventually licked clean.
