Asam Laksa

ASAM LAKSA

Originating from the Peranakan (Straits-Chinese) culture, assam laksa is a dish of thick rice noodles served in spicy and sour fish broth. Penang assam laksa is made using mackerel flakes and tamarind, which gives the broth a sourish flavour. Other ingredients used in the making of this national dish are lemongrass, chillies, galangal, thinly-sliced onions, prawn paste and finely-shredded torch ginger flower.
While assam laksa can be found at just about anywhere in Penang, it has been said Ayer Itam Pasar serves the best assam laksa in Penang!
