"Came across a file pre ZAAR/Food.com days with some recipes I had Photostatted obviously to try or had tried - this one we tried in March 2005 and I had commented "Very Nice Indeed", so I am now saving it here. All I know is that it is page 16 of a cookbook, don't know which one though. Times and servings sizes are estimated."

Happy to say we loved this recipe, DH especially raved and was very very happy to have leftovers!! My only problem was to source laksa paste, in the end I was unsuccessful and made my own, using a recipe found in the Australian Womans Weekly New Curries recipe book, page 113. This turned out for the best since I could control the spiciness, in the end we agreed I could have added more chilli, something I'm always careful about since DH doesnt tolerate it well. Lovely recipe, Pat, one for the keepers file, thank you!!

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
