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?
