Penang Food Paradise #27 : Penang Air Itam Market Asam Laksa

Heard of it and being introduced by my friends about this famous Asam Laksa located in Air Itam Market for a numerous times. Finally on the day when I was visiting the Displays of Lights in Kek Lok Si Temple, I had it as my dinner while waiting for my friends to arrive. This stall selling its famous Asam Laksa is located on Jalan Pasar just right beside the lively Air Itam Market. It is at the foot of the Kek Lok Si Temple. Tables and chairs are arranged beside the road of Jalan Pasar and they are usually full seated. If you are very lucky, you may get a table for yourself or you may share a table with other food lovers.

The taste of this famous Asam Laksa in this stall situated just right beside the Air Itam Market is a little bit salty for me but it is really lovely where the soup is filled with mashed mackerel fishes, sweetened prawn paste, aromatic lemon grass, and the spiciness of the sliced chilies. All together, the combination of the three - Sweet, sour, and spicy will definitely got your taste buds having their rock-&-roll live band inside your mouth.
