Laksa Johor II

 It is Mackerel (Kembong) season and hence they are all very fresh that sold in the market. I made our family's favourite laksa for breakfast this morning in order to make use of the Mackerels. This time I made little variation from the first recipe i.e. simpler version. See here for the first version.
