Best Asam Laksa in Penang

Written by Updated ago

Sweet, sour and spicy – those are the three magic words best described for fulfiling a satisfying bowl of Penang asam laksa. With a smorgasbord of slurpy white rice noodles, shredded fish (typically mackerel), sliced pineapples, cucumber, onions, red chillis, lettuce, mint leaves steeped within the tamarind-flavoured soup base, what’s not to like about this all-time Malaysian favourite?

    No trip to Balik Pulau would be complete without savouring a bowl of flavourful asam laksa at Kim’s. The soup is thick and tangy, while the rice noodles are springy enough to the bite. They even served Siam Laksa (Laksa Lemak), which is basically an asam laksa variation with coconut cream base.
    Tips

    You can even request to mix both Asam and Siam laksa together into one bowl.
