Oh yes! Oh yes! It's perfect with seafood!! I've paired it with ham on open-faced sandwiches too... or I serve breadsticks with pesto as a dip. I've tried apple slivers and prawns on open-faced sandwiches too. Not bad. Pineapple cubes with ham also go well on open-faced sandwiches.


I think it's hard to go wrong with pesto. Kekekekeke!

Thanks for the tips, Chen!

I looooove basil pesto. It's my all time favorite.

The other one I like is laksa pesto pasta. I like the one from PS cafe at the Paragon. Got tried and tested recipe for that :please:

Arrrrrrgh, should have inserted a question mark after that statement :slapshead:

Maybe Funz or Schweppes may be in the know of one

[Chenonceau]

Oh… aiya… calling Funz and Schweppes. Yooooo hooooo!

To make laksa pesto, just blend together with the regular basil pesto,a bunch of laksa leaves, coriander leaves, dried shrimp, dried chilli, candle nuts and maybe a bit of salted fish or fish sauce for that Asian flavour. Fry the pasta with some garlic and prawns and then the combined pesto. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice and mix.

Yes, you stick to your basic basil pesto mix and add just the extras I mentioned to add variations to the pesto. I only add a bit of laksa leaves though as I find the leaves rather overpowering. Still prefer good old basil pesto.
