Laksa is a spice-laden noodle dish that is popular in Malaysia and Singapore; it's a noodle dish that is quickly gaining popularity outside of Southeast Asia because of the scrumptious taste. To most people, especially the western media, laksa means curry laksa, a noodle dish in coconut milk and curry soup base. The truth is, there are many different types of laksa but the two dominant ones are curry laksa (coconut milk based) and asam laksa (tamarind based). Laksa is an iconic street food served by street vendors (hawkers) throughout Malaysia, a dish that I grew up eating…
In my hometown Penang, laksa simply means Asam Laksa, a spicy and sour fish-based noodle dish. My Penang laksa recipes are here and here. In Penang, curry laksa is known as curry mee and my recipe is here.
Are you confused yet?
Anyway, today I am sharing a "friendly" laksa recipe with you. I have adapted this laksa recipe so the taste appeals more to the western palate. I also did a twist by adding evaporated milk to the laksa stock, so it's half coconut milk and half evaporated milk. The end result is a creamier version of laksa without the dominant flavor of coconut milk. To further enhance the aroma of the broth, I threw in a few kaffir lime leaves. The laksa was so delicious that even my friend's 2 year old and 4 years old enjoyed it.

Wow your laksa looks good, I could use a bowl of laksa now.
Your Laksa looks wonderful and I'm going to have to find the tofu puffs, that looks like a great addition. Funny thing is I posted a Laksa recipe to my blog today and though I don't know what version of Laksa it is, I sort of made it up based on a flavor profile I desired. I hope that you'll check out my Laksa on Cook Lisa Cook.
I love your site and recipes.

My all time favourite! This is a dish I must order when I see it at a hawker stall! Yours look delicious, Bee.
Now you've got me craving for Curry Laksa. But wait a minute…I should be able to whip a bowl up for myself using your recipe :)
I so love the look of this dish, and the sound of the coconut milk and the prawns. But I don't think I can find the curry paste here in India. Wonder if I can find substitutes here.
O.K. you got me drooling Bee! Agree with you, I prefer assam version too without coconut milk. I like the addition of kaffir leaves to give distinct flavor, must try.
Laksa is so goood!
I would like to see the assam version of it too
This is absolutely my kinda soup .. the lemon grass.. spice flavor and shrimp .. just perfect. :)
Usually I put lots of oily chilli paste into my laksa. How do you make that chilli paste? Some hawkers make fantastic chilli paste for their laksa.
As usual your photos make me drool.
Which brand of the instant curry paste did you used in this Laksa dish from the Asiansupermarket 365 pls.?
Sorry to sound patronising, but do you specialise in teaching people to use pre-made mixes? You've got quite a number of posts in which you have no qualms cooking with spice mixes bought from Asian supermarkets. Which is fine, for an amateur cook. But I must admit I am surprised you have a cookbook published.
Jo,Firstly, not everyone lives next door to a Chinatown or even an asian grocer. I had to travel every 3 months to nearest city to buy pre mixes and cans, and packets stuff. I don't see anything wrong with it. For some of us being so far away from our home country, this may be our only option.
So get off your high horse and stop critising Bee, for trying to make this type of fooods more accessible to Asians and foreigners alike. Who wouldn't want fresh stuff? You should be thankful you can have this daily in SG. And be a bit more charitable to those who cannot. Constructive critism is fine, but your tone was of a personal attack of her talent and cookbook. Tsk tsk!
Jo, give me a break. Your comment shows that you are ignorant and jealous.
I have been following RasaMalaysia's recipes for years. Majority of the recipes are from scratch. Bee has a lot of different types of recipes that tailored to people with different levels of cooking skills and experience. Also, there is nothing wrong with adding some pre-made paste in your cooking. Many chefs do that too.
Ahh there are so many instant curry paste, which one do you recommend?
We receive good comments for all these curry paste especially Delimas (Curry Laksa) and Tean's Gourmet (Curry Laksa and Chicken Curry).
Pre-made instant spices are very versatile. We can add more spices, fresh or dried, to achieve the flavor we are looking for. I prepared rendang out of spice mix once and it was not good. The next time I added some more spices of my own and it was one of the best I ever tasted. As long as we know what's the main spices component in the mix, we can make killer and authentic dish. You always add your own spices with your instant mix, I like your recipes for it.
Also, yeah, cookbook for instant pastes, that's a great idea, Bee!
WAH! Laksa looks so darn good, Bee! PS: I'm always baffled whenever I see bloggers apologise for using ready-made stuff. Why??? If it tastes good, makes your life easy, what's the problem?
After living for years in Singapore, eating instant everything because traditional cooking is extinct, we're surprised a Singaporean would complain about instant spice mixes.
But the question is, what is the alternative to spice mixes? Is it to buy five different ground spices and mix them in a bowl and call yourself a chef? Might as well save yourself some time and buy the pre-mixed package, and as Jun mentioned, add a bit more of your favorite spice if you want to customize it.
In Penang, and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, spice mixes are commonly used in traditional cooking. Head to any morning market, and you will see many spice sellers who will provide you with the perfect concoction for fish curry or chicken curry or any other curry. And what about Chinese five-spice? This is a spice mix that has been around for a very long time. Using a spice mix does not mean you are not a good cook.
On Season with Spice, we recommend using whole spices and grinding them at home for increased flavor and fragrance, but we would never expect that everyone has the time and energy to do this, including ourselves for most meals.
Bee – keep up the great job you are doing by making Asian recipes accessible to everyone.
oh gosh mouth dripping!… looks delicious and tempting…
Bee, I am SOOOOO excited that you posted this recipe! Okay anyone reading this comment—I was the lucky recipient of this laksa and it was mind-blowingly good!! I can't wait to try making it myself! How long do you suggest simmering the stock for?
What a gorgeous, mouth-watering Laksa!
Bee, I miss our Penang Curry Mee. Especially the ones I used to eat sitting on little stools at a stall run by a couple of sisters @ the Air Itam market. The chilli paste and squid were sooo good. Have you posted a similar dish?
That looks dah yum! I could use with a bowl of laksa in this chilly Australian winter.
My all time comfort food curry laksa. I left East Malaysia 45 yrs ago and whenever I go home for a visit my first meal will always end up being curry laksa. Thanks for your recipe. Will try and make it and will let you know how it turns out.
Thanks so much for this Yummy Laksa Recipe. It seems easy to follow for an amateur cook like me. I am all about easy recipe and would love all semi homemade recipes (using instant paste and mix) :P Could you please mention which paste (the brand) did you use? Did you use Laksa paste or chicken curry paste? There is no Malaysian Grocery around me and I am bout to order the paste from the Asianmarket365.com. So please kindly suggest the paste I should get for Laksa and the chicken curry too.
Hello Rasa Malaysia
Great job and I really like your website!
You mentioned using chicken stock in the recipe, is it just any kind of ready made chicken stock from asian grocery?
my boyfriend is in malaysia now, and i love the curry laksa very much
the problem is i stay in thailand.Have any way he could bring it back for me ?
How mush people can I serve for this recipe ?
Hi there,
Love the picture of the laksa….looks delicious!
Like you yourself, I prefers Penang laksa as i think it is much more aromatic. It is however, quite tricky to get hold of it here in london so I have posted a recipe with my take on it a few months a go. Have a look… Thanks!
I cooked this curry for dinner last night. I used some leftover wonton noodles, and added some wontons. My husband was so impressed that he was reluctant to throw the curry soup away after we have eaten the noodles! Lately he has been very stressed at work and thus grumpy all the time, but last night he was slightly better after dinner! ;)
Thank you for the recipe!
Hi, I'm a Malaysian student currently studying in the UK. Thank you so much for your recipes. I find the instructions easy to follow and I get a great sense of achievement when I manage to cook something nice for my friends! Thank you so much!
How many people does your recipe serve?
i love hokkien mee in singapore and laksa
Just made this tonight – it was delicious!!! The entire family enjoyed it and I don't think I spent more than 30 minutes preparing the laksa. Thank you so much Bee!
Hii there! I love your version of Laksa! sounds yummy to me! But i was wondering if its possible to make the curry paste at home? Coz i live in INDIA and i have never seen any laksa paste at the mall!
20g piece ginger, chopped
3 fat garlic cloves
2 stalks lemongrass, chopped
75g shallots, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons dried shrimp, rehydrated in boiling water for 5 minutes and drained well
1.5 teaspoons shrimp paste
20g cashew nuts
2 teaspoons fish curry powder (Baba's, if you can get it)
20g fresh turmeric
4 fresh long red finger chillies
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
The spice paste "khalilgib" wrote is the one Rick Stein uses on Masterchef Australia. Its a really good tasting paste and the Laksa made with this paste, tastes better then some of the Laksas I had when I visited Malaysia so I recommend this paste over any storebought ones!
hi bee,
i just saw ur website n i'm so trilled as a fellow malaysian here. i'm so proud of u who promoting malaysian foods to the world~
just want to say here that ur version of laksa is really an asam laksa while my family is the other version of laksa (tamarind laksa) because my family from kuala kangsar, perak n my late grandfather used to sell laksa in his hometown.
for this version of laksa, u use belacan and boiled fish… n the noodle also different.
btw, love the food pics~ =)
This recipe is for how many people?
Thanks a million ^^
hi bee,
silly question though, what is the difference between a curry paste and curry powder? in case i won't be able to find curry paste here in our place, can i use curry powder instead? thank you :) looking forward in making this dish
Thanks so much for the recipe and the beautiful images. My tummy making noise just looking at the pix.
I had my first Laksa in Singore on June 20th, 2000 and always must have Laksa being back to Sing each time.
The Singaporean version uses some clams, fish paste loaf (sliced as you can see in your posted picture 1/2) the clam juice in their stock with the rest of your listed recipe. The clams added some seafood character to the dish.
Love it.
hi there! i am cooking laksa for my school pratical homework and i found ur recipe which was the easiest! i was wondering this recipe is for how many servings. thanks a mill!:)
For a bit of twist would be tremendously welcome to enhance the really Malaysin palates . That's nice really. I reckon.
Hi Bee,
How many does this recipe serve? Thanks!
Could you please explain what sort of fish cakes are in this recipe? Many thanks.
Dear Bee…I always look forward to read your blog…Well presented with great pix :-). I'm wondering whether you can help me out. I've been searching on the net for the Siamese Laksa, using not fish but chicken flesh instead. There's a stall in Sec 14, PJ selling this laksa & being a laksa lover, tried asking the uncle for the recipe without any success:-(
The uncle uses the noodle just like the one in Penang Assam Laksa & the gravy is somewhat like curry mee but the taste is sour. I can see he put in tiny bits of bunga kantan (torch ginger bud), taugeh (bean sprout), kacang panjang (long bean) & oh I forgot to mention, prawns! Don't you think it's somewhat like curry mee? Maybe next time I should take a pix of it & post it to you :-)…Thanx for your time & answer Bee
how long does it take to make?
People from Darwin, Australia love Laksa aswell, they are sold at the local markets. People have found there favorite Laksa shops and will go out of there way to get it. When traveling down south there is no food to compare!
Thanks for sharing this recipe and I love it!

If you're one of those people who just love to barbeque, we've got good news. The grills category continues to improve, with models that are quicker to start, better at retaining heat and easier to clean than ever before. While gas grills are simpler to use and charcoal models better at imparting that delicious barbequed taste, recent innovations are blurring the distinction between the two types.
Charcoal grills may be considered the purist's choice. Charcoal takes longer to light than a gas grill and controlling a charcoal grill's heat isn't as simple as twiddling a gas grill's temperature dial. But enthusiasts say the extra trouble is worth it for the flavor that cooking over charcoal imparts. Charcoal grills tend to be less expensive than gas grills too, with basic models starting as low as $100 and most premium units topping out at $300 or $400. Many are built to last and they do -- for years or even decades.
Gas grills are quicker and easier to heat and require less fiddling. It's also easier to control the cooking temperature as they have knobs more like an oven's. Many also have temperature gauges. You pay for the convenience, though, because gas grills generally cost more. You can find a few basic models starting at about $150, but most start at a few hundred dollars and go up into the thousands. Among gas grills, however, experts and owners agree that a more expensive grill doesn't always guarantee better cooking results.
Portable grills are available in both charcoal and gas models. These are great choices for camping, tailgating or picnics -- or if you just have a small patio or deck and need a smaller grill. Charcoal portables are available for less than $100, while gas portables usually run between $150 and $400. The best portable grills are small, or are designed to fold up for easy transport. In spite of their smaller size, they should offer a relatively large cooking surface so you don't have to grill too many batches to produce a family meal.
Because grills use fire or gas, it's not surprising that some models would end up on the Consumer Product Safety Commission's list of recalled products. If you're planning to buy a used model or shop at an outlet other than a conventional retailer, it pays to check the CPSC list before buying.
To determine our top-rated models, we analyzed expert and owner reviews of gas and charcoal grills, focusing specifically on performance, ease of use, safety and cost of ownership. We also considered grill prices and the relative value different models offer. Our research includes several professional test results; we also analyzed user ratings and comments on retail and opinion-based websites, which describe consumers' experiences over time.

Two years ago something wonderful happened.
Butterfly Birthday Party
Two years ago something wonderful happened.
This beautiful little bundle entered our lives and changed us completely. We were able to experience first hand the truth of the promise in Psalm 127 that "truly children are an inheritance from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is his reward."
And truly what a joy and a reward it has been to watch her grow from that teeny, squirmy heap of blankets to a comical, "characterful" (shall we say?!) 2 year old, full of boundless energy and laughter!
We celebrated her birthday with a butterfly garden party with our friends and their children (and therefore her friends by default!)
The invitations.
Some decorations in the garden. All signs made from cardboard boxes- cheap and easy!
Tables made from boxes covered with plastic table covers (gotta love cardboard!)
The kiddy party spread, followed by sausages and chicken on the BBQ. Thankful for a very unusually hot Bank holiday in the UK! Almost unheard of.
The cupcakes formed the birthday cake. Little butterfly names in each one.
Cute tea-towels from Next!
The take-home favours were little jars of play-dough with a cookie cutter attached. More fun than a bag of cheap, plastic toys! (and much cheaper to produce actually.)
Flowers in baked bean tins to add to the country look!
Waiting for her guests to arrive, dressed in her number 2 shirt and her new butterfly wings!
Decorating hanging butterflies with friends. Ooodles of gloopy glue, sequins, foam stickers and glitter were necessary for this project! (The grass is still shimmering and could be for a few years to come.)
And again, with the wonderful "Aunty Soof" (as she is known around these parts), mucking in and being a fabulous help!
Taking a little break!
Looking after baby sis and seeing that she has some fun too!
Baby Pops sports her matching tutu skirt!
Time for the ice-cream stall! Lots of sweets in old jam jars to sprinkle on top, looking delicious and tasting equally so!
Mmmmm, yes please!
The wonderful piles of little blessings!
Some serious bouncing occurred!
Happy birthday delicious little butterfly (who doesn't know how to blow out yet!) We love you very much indeed.

Ameritrade Holding Corp. is planning large marketing and technology investments to improve the company's competitive position in deep-discount brokerage by taking advantage of emerging economies of scale. In order to evaluate whether the strategy would generate sufficient future cash flows to merit the investment, Joe Ricketts, chairman and CEO of Ameritrade, needs an estimate of the project's cost of capital. There is considerable disagreement as to the correct cost of capital estimate. A research analyst pegs the cost of capital at 12%, the CFO of Ameritrade uses 15%, and some members of Ameritrade management believe that the borrowing rate of 9% is the rate by which to discount the future cash flows expected to result from the project. There is also disagreement as to the type of business that Ameritrade is in. Management insists that Ameritrade is a brokerage firm, whereas some research analysts and managers of other online brokerage firms suggest that Ameritrade is a technology/Internet firm. To obtain executable spreadsheets (courseware), please contact our customer service department at firstname.lastname@example.com.
learning objective:
To estimate (over two days)-the cost of capital that Ameritrade should employ in evaluating the proposed large investments in marketing and technology. The lesson plan builds on the prior cases in the Risk & Return module. Uses the capital asset pricing model to estimate Ameritrade's cost of capital. Focus is on CAPM variables such as the risk free rate, market risk premium, and beta. Students will use regression analysis to directly calculate the beta estimates. Arguments will be made as to which comparable firms (brokerage firms or Internet firms) should be used to obtain beta estimates.

Sichuan Crawfish/Crayfish/Crawdad Recipe (麻辣小龙虾)
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!)
I have never cooked crawfish at home. I have to confess that these little feisty and fierce some creatures almost had me surrender and call for rescue. Handling these crawdads and crawmoms ain't no piece of cake. I totally underestimated them. However, at the first bite of their juicy tails and heads, I felt all my hardwork and efforts were completely justified. Put simply, they were simply irresistible!
During my last trip to Beijing, I tried–for the very first time–the famed Ma La Xiao Long Xia/麻辣小龙虾 or Sichuan numbing (named so because of the tingly numbing effect of Sichuan peppercorns) and spicy crawfish. Known locally as small lobsters, crawfish is a must-have during summer months. Commonly enjoyed with beer, crawfish is Chinese people's (especially Beijingers) guilty pleasure. Guilty because there are numerous health warnings to avoid this delicacy, mostly due to the highly-polluted habitat that these creatures are harvested. But never mind the mercury and toxic, once you have the first taste, there is no turning back. They are highly addictive and toooooooo good…
So, when I drove past highway 22 and saw a sign with the words "LIVE CRAWFISH FOR SALE," I went immediately insane. I just had to have crawfish. I needed my fix. I followed the sign and found a gem–a seafood store that offers everything I love, much fresher–and cheaper–than any regular Asian food stores.

Now I have something to look forward in October – crawfish, then dungeness crab in November :D . Have never handled crawfish too, hopefully not too difficult.
we saw plenty of signs at restaurants in Houston those days for this crawfish thing but somehow never try guess must taste like somekind of crabs, or is it prawns or maybe lobsters , or is it fish ? LOL ( btw saw a writeup monday in NST tech section on RM.com site , r u aware just 9n case )
so cute crawdad
so gorgeous photo
i'll catch one and eat it^^
i can taste and smell the freshness of yr crawfish!
I can imagine how delicious they are but they do look scary :)
OMGOMGOMG!!!! I want some!!!!!! I can't believe you got live crawfish this time of the year! I usually have to get my fedex'd from New Orleans during season.
What a wonderful recipe, and amazing photos! How did you get those feisty little crawfish to pose for you???
Not sure if i can get crawfish in SG, but your crawfish dish looks so gooood… I must go and look for it this weekend!
whoa! i love crawfish. in fact i love all crustacean. haha. crawfish, crab, lobster, shrimp… whatever… to me they are all more or less the same – DELICIOUS! no matter how they are cooked, all the better if spicy of course.
btw how do you tell a crawmom from a crawdad? :)
Hello, they are so nice that it seems that they are in plastic ^^I have never seen this kind of beast here in switzerland…Looks good! Cheers
Look delicious!
ooo.. your photo makes them look like mean monsters!
i am sure they must be so delicious. monsters are to be eaten up by mankind…
i gila gila a bit today…
omg, that pictures is stunning! you have got mad skillz, with a capital Z!
We usually cook 3-5 pounds of live crawfish per person (definitely 5 if all of the guests are Cajun). How many did one pound serve? Did you bite the head or suck it?
Ok, I'm definitely driving to Garden Grove in October. Thanks for this great find!
I've never had crawfish…but I'm sure I would love them…your recipe sounds delicious plus I love crustaceans :)
Love the photos! You gave them such personality :)
I'm going to make this for sure!
wow!!!they are alien to me…"怕怕"
how to handle these monster??
don't see them at s'pore leh..
Love the red colour of the crayfish. Suits thier fiesty nature!! When they are fresh/alive we freeze before we put the knife down. It makes them dosile. Less stress on the food makes it taste better, so I've been told. Also easier to handle. Just out of curiousity, do they have lots of flesh on them?
Hahah…thought it was a movie poster for the next installment of "Predators"….Beautiful colours!
Wow! Those look amazing. I love food that fights back.
Very beautiful photos you made.
Amazing colour. Really 'ang-ang' for 'danger' as in the fierce looking creatures as well as the hot-hot-hot Sichuan peppercorns.
ohhhh so this is how it looks likeeee
Crayfish and yabby same?
I'm regulary visiting your site, without leaving any comments, despeate the fact I find it beautiful!
Tiga – right on, I can't wait for the jumbo ones. :)
The team – they taste like something in between mantis prawn, shrimp, and perhaps lobster, but not as sweet. They are great to eat, and the best part is sucking the yellow orangy precious from their heads.
Yoyo's Food – you are in China, right? You can make some Xiao Long Xia and share your recipe with me.
Babe – can we get these in Malaysia? I have never seen them though.
Cynthia – they do look scary, especially when they are all together in the bucket. But they do taste delicious! I love them. :)
Steamy – next time you come around SoCal, I will take you catch some big jumbo juicy ones. Yum yum.
Lydia – LOL. That one in the picture is fiesty, it was going to bite me and so I quickly snap a picture! Scary! Hahaha.
Piggy – I have never seen them around in Malaysia, but perhaps you can get them in SG. If not, you can get Australian yabbies, they are the same, just different specie, actually yabbies look a lot prettier and taste equally good. :)
Lucia – you are just like me…we Penangite sure can't live without seafood now can we? LOL. I am not sure how to tell if they are crawdad and crawmom, but I am sure there are some females and males one in the bucket. ;)
Claude – LOL, they are a beast, you are right. Maybe you can go to France, I think I have seen something like that there. ;)
Lemongrass – can you get these in London?
KM – they were indeed little monsters that were meant to be savored by the human predators like me!!! LOL.
Aria – you are too nice…LOL, and funny too. I have MAD skillZ, wahahhahha. :)
Patti – 3-5 lbs per person, wow, that's a lot of crawfish for one. I ate all the 1lb I got and thought it wasn't enough…;)
Marvin – yep, it was a great find…must go!!! They have scallops on the half shell, too. :)
Joey – thanks. What's there not to love about crustaceans? They are simply the best! I can eat them every meal.
Nate 2.0 – absolutely…you will not regret making them I can guarantee you. ;)
Snoopy – yeah, they do look a little scary, yeah, I have never seen them in Malaysia either…maybe can buy them frozen?
C2 – good tip about freezing them…they were hard to handle as they are soooo fiesty. There aren't a lot of flesh unfortunately, but it's still satisfying to eat. Plus sucking their heads were just so awesome, and the spicy and numbing effect was just an extra kick.
WMW – yes, I am the human predator. Not them. LOL.
Danielle – can you get live crawdad in NYC?
Orchidea – thanks. You are very sweet.
Tummy – yeah, very "hiong" you know these little creatures. :P
Teckiee – have you tried them before?
Precious Pea – yeah, they are the same precisely, just different species. I had some yabbies in Hong Kong recently, they taste about the same but yabbies look a lot cuter and prettier, not so scary. LOL.
Sophie – thank you for your first comment. I appreciate it. Thanks for your kind words about my site too and do leave me more comments in the future. :)
I'm a big fan of Sichuan food , specially the hot pot ! Your crawdad looks very very interesting . Must admit that I've never had these before , but now the next time I'm around Beijing i'm definately going to order some ! Gr8 pictures BTW !
Yum this looks fabulous! I've never had crawfish before but your recipe makes me want to try them.
Wow, you are brave, they look like they could give you a mean pinch. Did you tip them in the wok alive? Aargh! Did any try to climb out? I think crayfish are very North American. In Europe they may have langoustines or Dublin Bay prawns, which seem to be greyer in colour and spikier. Once had a dish of them at Loch Fyne and pricked my fingers to death!
rasa malaysia,
The crawfish look fierce. How did you manage to handle it?:P
Great pictures you made there! Your title image reminds me almost of Darth Vader, dressed up in red ;-) Tidak ada chance to get them here in Germany, unfortunately.
Your photos are amazing!!!
When I was in Beijing, I saw these crawfish/crawdads but didn't eat any.
We ate a lot of them in Louisiana though. Yummy!
I see those signs in Little Saigon all the time. As long as you didn't guy the crawfamilies from someone's trunk, they're gotta be good. =)
Bee, beautiful shots of the crawfish. I can see you setting everything up at home for the photoshoot, just as you're about to shoot, they start crawling out of the bowl haha. I saw these at the Yangshuo night market, but didn't try them.
Ja they probably come from beijing
Your sichuan crawfish looks like a killer! I like them very hot too so im going to try your sichuan crawfish recipe.
Thanks for this great recipe – I just tried it out myself! So very tasty! Check it out at http://foragingotaku.blogspot.com/2009/03/dreaming-of-shanghainese-little.html
Now to get to Beijing/Shanghai and have all the other flavours…
Yeah crawdads or crawfish are great I live in wyoming and catch them at the local resivours with a trap I built. Just went out last night and caught 36. 9 were females so I put them back. I went lousiana style with the new potatoes, corn on the cob, lemons and cajun seasoning. mm-good. Its nice to have another recipe to try.
I catch crawdads around my house almost everyday some are small and some are big but they all taste good.
Oh yea i dont catch crawdads with traps, i am too poor and too cheap to buy any traps. I just go down to a river and catch maybe 20 or more a day with just a hook and a worm. Then i put them in a bag and then i put them in a cooler till i catch enough to make a meal.
chinese (sichuan) stir fry fresh corn
My boyfriend and I tried your recipe today and it was better than I had imagined it to be!! I added probably twice as many peppers (we wanted it REALLY HOT) and it was fantastic. Thanks again for sharing your recipe!
Thanks so much for posting this! I had my first and only crawfish in Ningbo in 2005. That was the last trip I made to China and the best one thanks to the crawfish. They were this Sichuan type and without a doubt the most delicious food I have eaten anywhere. I still tell people about them. We kept placing order after order for them. I can't wait to make some now. Thanks again.
How did you kill the crawfish?

At less than half the weight of its namesake Kelvin Vest, the Kelvin Lite Vest is built for adding just the right amount of warmth to your system for stationary hunts on cool days, and moderate- to high-output treks in the cold of the late season.
The Kelvin Light Vest offers 60 G/M2 PrimaLoft® Sport Insulation in a low-profile solution to help regulate your core temperature. PrimaLoft® retains its insulating abilities even when wet, and with a high heat-to weight ratio, the Kelvin Lite Vest weighs in at a feathery 9.6 ounces. It is extremely packable when not needed, and is ideal for layering. The low denier woven polyester face fabric is designed to reduce friction with under and over layers so you maintain complete freedom of motion. Zippered hand pockets warm your digits and keep your necessities organized.
"The Kelvin Lite Vest brings just the right amount of warmth when you need some added comfort. The vest functions remarkable well when layered over a Traverse Hoody or under various outerwear jackets and isn't too hot for moderate activity on chilly mornings. Because it takes up almost no room in my pack, I'll throw it in whenever I think I may need a little extra insurance."
- Sitka Athlete Kiviok Hight
Hey Ranier - Thanks for contacting us and we appreciate the feedback. You are correct in that the Kelvin Lite Vest is minimal. It's benefits include it's high warmth to weight ratio and it's ability to compress into any dead space in your pack. The most effective way to utilize this particular piece of insulation is underneath a shell. It's 60 g/m2 is substantially less than the fill of the Kelvin at 170 g/m2 and does not provide the same kind of versatility that the Jetstream Vest offers. It doesn't satisfy the needs of all hunters but does have it's place for those who want to micro manage their gear to accommodate specific days and activities.
For the price, this vest is not very functional. I seems to provide the same protection as a long sleeved shirt. Better to move up to a warmer vest that could be shed.
Perfect conbination of light weight and warmth. Can fold into the smallest ball and fit anywhere in your pack without taking up space, but packs a ton of warmth! Worth every penny. I also own the Kelvin vest and the Kelvin Lite is every bit as warm in my opinion. Love the Kelvin Lite series.
The Kelvin Lite Vest are very lite. When I received them through mail order I thought no way it would work. I was wrong when I put them on I could feel the heat it that it kept next to my core. I use it as a layer under my Fanatic Jacket to keep down on the bulk I just wish they offered it in the forest pattern. I am not a Gore product tester just a hunter that believes Sitka gear is the best stuff out there.
The Kelvin Lite Vest is the perfect choice when a jacket is not needed but your core is calling for a little extra warmth. Minimalists and gear-heads alike will love the warmth to weight ratio. At just over 9 ounces, the vest compresses smaller than a soda can leaving pack space and weight uncompromised when it's time to shed layers. As a Gore product tester you can bet the Kelvin Lite Vest will always have a place in my hunting system.

Queen's Day at the tulip fields
May 1, 2012 95 Comments
"Never let an opportunity pass by without giving it due consideration." Weather-wise, this is my standing motto these days because in the whole month of April, we've hardly seen the sun and the temperature has been for the most part, chilly.
In yesterday's Queen's Day celebration, the weather did an unusual turn-around. Less than 24 hours before, I was still in my winter coat and then it was off to temperature soaring to as high as 28 degrees Celsius during the day. The party mode was on fever-pitch for the Dutch.
Not wanting to waste such a lovely day, I managed to persuade the Mr. to also do a side trip to the flower fields in nearby Flevo polder where we saw the tulips already in full bloom when driving through last weekend. We normally go to the Noordoost polder for our annual foray into the flower fields and our original plan to do that is still next weekend but seeing the blue skies, I just can't wait for almost a week for that. Besides, there is no guarantee about a nice weather either and who knows, most tulips would already be gone by then when the farmer cuts the flowers to enable the bulbs to grow further. These fields are just a short drive of 20 minutes from our place so I see no reason why we can't spare some time on this day.
Under sweltering heat at the height of the day, we were at the tulips fields in the polder. My little girl changed outfit to something close to the Dutch royal color and reigned over the fields in her faux jewelry ensemble which were hard won from throwing balls to a stack of tin cans from a distance in the fancy fair we went to the other weekend.
Year after year, I remain amazed by this staggering vista of tulips in various colors and varieties. I try not to give this sight a miss and why not, it is all for free, gratis et amore.

Paris has an excellent public transport system, divided into five zones radiating out from the centre; ticket prices vary according to the number of zones required. Public transport consists of buses, an underground metro, and express trains (RER). Taxis are also available. The easiest way to get around is on the metro and the subways are generally safe at all times. It is possible to transfer between the metro and the RER trains at no extra cost. The bus system is also extensive, but is slower, less frequent and best used for getting to destinations the metro does not cover. A nightbus service, Noctambus, covers the city between 1am and 5:30am. Taxis are readily available and can be hailed or caught at taxi ranks. Vélib' bicycle rentals are also popular for getting round town: pick up a bike at one of 1,450 stations and return it at any other (from €1 an hour).
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between last Sunday in March and last Sunday in October).
Electrical current is 220 volts, 50Hz. European two-pin plugs are standard.
The official currency of France is the Euro (EUR), which is divided into 100 cents. Currency can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and some large hotels, though you will get a better exchange rate at ATMs. Major credit cards are widely accepted, particularly in major tourist destinations. Foreign currency is not accepted.
The international access code for France is +33. Most public telephones accept phone cards, which are available in newsagents. Most hotels add a surcharge to calls, which can be very expensive; the cheapest way to call abroad is often with a phone card from a public telephone or at a post office. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international mobile phone companies. Internet cafes are available in towns throughout France.

Paris has a temperate climate, but the city is known for its unexpected rain showers which can occur at any time of year. Spring, from March to May, is the driest season in Paris but rainfall is distributed fairly evenly throughout the other seasons. It is best to have an umbrella with you in Paris no matter what the season, but the rain showers are usually as brief as they are sudden. Snow is rare but the city does usually get a smattering in the winter months. Summer temperatures are mild to warm, with occasional heat waves, while winters are very chilly with temperatures hovering around freezing point. The average temperatures in Paris generally range between 41°F (5°C) during winter and 68°F (20°C) in summer. July is the hottest month of the year, although August can be almost as hot, and January is the coldest. November through January can be a little windy but generally wind is not a problem in Paris.
There is a good train service with the RER B line that serves the airport with connections to the city centre and the Metro station. From the airport RER B can be accessed from terminal 2 railway station stop on the airport shuttle. The RER B line is serviced every fifteen minutes Monday through Friday and takes 50 minutes to the city centre costing €9.50. The Roissy bus line also connects to the city centre and costs €10 for the 50 minute drive which buses depart for every 15-20 minutes between 7am and 11pm. Air France also runs buses to certain city destinations. The Noctilien night bus runs between 12:30am and 5am with fares depending on destination but starting from €7.60.
All major car rental companies are represented.
There are taxis outside the baggage reclaim area of the arrival terminals. The taxi fare to the city centre is generally about €50.
The three terminals are linked by free shuttle buses.
There are ATMs, banks and bureaux de change in all terminals as well as a wide selection of shops, restaurants and bars. Terminal 1 also has a hairdresser and a business facility that includes meeting rooms, fax and photocopier. Mobile phones can be rented at the airport.
Short-term parking is available in lots P1, P3, and PAB, nearest to Terminal 1, starting at €5 for 30 minutes and escalating to €39 for 24 hours. Lots PCD and PEF are located near Terminal 2 and charge similar rates. Lot PR has lower long-term parking rates, charging €26 for the first day, €22 per day up to a week, and €8 per day thereafter; the lot is connected to all terminals via a free shuttle.

The treatments were excellent and the spa area was nice - pool sauna and steam room
we enjoyed the day very much - the only thing that tarnished the day was being charged £3 for an extra robe - mine was damp due to swimming - I was paying for an extra treatment and needed to wear something whilst my nails were done - If i'd have known i would have dressed first - apart from that it was a good value day -
