Spicy Curry Noodle in Coconut Milk

As someone commented on a serving of this spicy curry noodle: This was so so so good. The curry soup was utterly delicious, with the aroma of coconut, and exactly what I have been missing!. With juicy prawns, lots of squishy tofu, fish cake, sliced chicken, noodles mixed with round rice vermicelli. I was in heaven!
