Chicken Curry Laksa with Linguine

Curry Laksa Mee/Noodles is a popular hawker stall dish in Malaysia. Curry Laksa refers to noodles served in coconut-based curry soup. Ask any Malaysian,I'm sure they will tell you ,how much they loves curry laksa. For those who can't easily access to curry laksa anytime ,like me,so cooking at home is the only optional with minimum ingredients. Excerpt from wikipedia:"Laksa is a popular spicy noodle soup from Peranakan culture also known as Baba and Nyonya, which is a merger of Chinese and Malay elements found in Malaysia and Singapore.Curry laksa (in many places referred to simply as “laksa”) is a coconut-based curry soup. The main ingredients for most versions of curry laksa include tofu puffs, fish sticks, shrimp and cockles. Some vendors may sell chicken laksa which uses chicken instead of shrimp. Cockles are usually very commonly used in laksa and most vendors would add them into laksa unless customers request not to have cockles for hygiene reasons. Laksa is commonly served with a spoonful of sambal chilli paste and is traditionally garnished with Vietnamese coriander, or laksa leaf, which is known in Malay as daun kesum.
