Tips and Comments:

• As there is a pre-cook of Vermicelli with Fish Sauce and Soya Sauce and some ingredients like Dried Shrimps are salty, hence when you are adding water and coconut milk to the laksa paste, it is good to taste it 1st and adjust the quantity accordingly.
• Instead of water, you can use chicken soup for a better taste, but the end result may be more salty - you can change the quantity of other ingredients for a perfect taste.
