| Siam/Lemak Laksa |
I am a big fan of laksa and hope to share as many version as i can on this blog. With all that said, here are some favorite places in Balik Pulau, Penang, Malaysia. I can’t believe it’s been three months since we moved back and I’m only now getting around to making a list of my must eats. A quick caveat: this is by no means an exhaustive list – I left out lots of places that are delicious. It’s always fun to wander around and just pick a random joint, so I definitely recommend that.
Penang Assam Laksa… CNN Travel ranked this 7th out of the 50 most delicious foods in the world.
Assam Laksa is a kind asam pedas (spicy tangy soup)which does not require its paste to be fried.Siamese Laksa like most other coconut based curry, benefits from its spice paste being to bring out its frangrance.
It is like the creamy version of asam laksawith basically the same ingredients. The two are often mived in one bowl.

This popular stall at Jalan Balik Pulau opposite Balik Pulau town Big space car parking, at the foot of a main tourist attraction will be the place to try it.
You would notice this unty scooping up the aromatic soup in and out the bowl in quick succession with assembling the other key ingredients of cucumber, onions, red chillies, pineapple, lettuce, mint and ginger., and he does this repeatedly so that the thick vermicelli gets covered thoroughly in the gravy and the dish stays hot.
Each bowl only cost 4.00 Malaysian Ringgit .Finding a couple of seats on a crowded weekend afternoon may cost some sweat and time, but rest assured this is well worth the wait.
The bowl arrived, brimming with Penang’s signature ‘hae ko’ and shredded mackerel fish. As you scoop up tablespoons, the strands of thick rice noodles are covered by the generous ingredients.
The soup is thick with balanced taste of sweet, sour and spicy, added with lingering touch of the prawn paste. It’s a small bowl, but satisfying, and some may want seconds.
Some interest wall painting for the shop, blended Ice series and the tasty fried ICE.
