Best Asam Laksa in KL

Written by Updated ago

Asam Laksa is no doubt a dish every Malaysian should know of or have eaten before. Ranked at number 26 of the World's 50 Most Delicious Foods by CNN in 2011, this noodle dish is a national pride due to its explosive combination of tangy, spicy, and savoury flavours. The use of tamarind and chilies is no doubt the signature feature to this dish, while fish flakes, onions, and even pineapples are added to create a more robust taste. Many have claimed that asam laksa is made best in the northern region of Penang, but most have been debunked, as you can find similar or better ones right here in the capital. So look no further as we present to you this list of the best recommended asam laksa in Kuala Lumpur.

    D'cengkih

    A favourite amongst Malays and non-Malays alike, D'cengkih has set the gold standard of all sorts of Malaysian cuisine today. If you're stopping by for a nice, hearty plate of nasi kandar today, why not take a bite from their own take on the Malaysian-favourite asam laksa? Sure, it's served on a plate rather in a bowl, but it still matches up against the flavourful broth and great noodles that pairs well with it!
    Tips

    Prices are a bit steep according to customers, but they're just cheap!

    Things to expect

    Some seriously great Malaysian food.
