My World Famous (According to Nath) Laksa

I wanted to share one of my all time favourite recipes with anyone that actualy reads what im putting down here.

I make this every week, usually on Sunday or Monday night, its the easiest, tasiest, most cleansing and comforting soup ever! My partner, Nathan, loves it so much it seems to be the only time he updates his Facebook Status...........usually saying how full he is, or how he's looking forward to eating.
