  • Best Penang Asam Laksa In Klang Valley @ Asia Cafe, SS15

    Best Penang Asam Laksa In Klang Valley @ Asia Cafe, SS15

    Best Penang Asam Laksa In Klang Valley @ Asia Cafe, SS15 – Ladies and gentleman, I have found the best Penang Asam Laksa in Klang Valley and it’s located at the famous Asia Cafe at SS15, Subang Jaya!

    I am always in search of good Penang-food in Klang Valley, when I craved from Asam Laksa, I usually will go to the Kedah Asam Laksa at Taman Bahagia open-air food court there. Now, this new one at Asia Cafe will probably replace my visit to Taman Bahagia.

    Why it’s so good? Because it’s run by the daughter of the famous Air Itam Asam Laksa in Penang! So it’s very authentic. Price is of course higher than Penang, at RM5.00 per bowl. They sell Curry Mee also, but I am more interested in Asam Laksa and the original stall in Penang does not sell Curry Mee.

    Taste wise is very good. I finish the soup, but then one imperfection is there’s very little fish in the soup. Too bad.

    I won’t abandon Taman Bahagia’s Kedah Asam Laksa, I will visit both as they have different taste. =)

  • Weld Quay Famous Penang Asam Laksa And Ai Yu Bing Dessert

    Weld Quay Famous Penang Asam Laksa And Ai Yu Bing Dessert

    Weld Quay Famous Penang Asam Laksa And Ai Yu Bing Dessert – Laksa lover are lucky today because I just found out a new delicious yummy Penang Assam Laksa at Weld Quay. Perhaps some of you may knows about it already but nevermind, just sharing it with everyone because I am a fan of Assam Laksa. One question, how do you spell assam laksa actually? Assam or Asam? There’s no standardized one. Haha.

    P1040060

    On the corner of the junction of Gat Lebuh Acheh (Acheen Street Ghaut) and Weld Quay and under a tree, this is where the stalls of the yummy assam laksa and also ai yu bing (a kind of jelly) dessert locate at. Some times, there’s also a curry mee stall but it wasn’t open during my visit.

    Only RM3.00 per bowl and you get a nice bowl of asam laksa, not spicy, not very sweet like others, enough of sour-ish taste and it’s nice to me. Although taste different with the famous Farlim Shell Station laksa, I still finish the soup until it’s dry. Fish and vegetable were enough and it’s a good food for afternoon tea or eat-for-fun. Another thing is the aunty who is selling the laksa is kinda friendly too.

    There’s also a little dessert stalls serving the laksa customer at there, which sells local desserts like chendol, red bean soup, ai yu bing and grass jelly.

    I ordered a bowl of ai yu bing, it’s a kind of jelly, different from grass jelly, tasted a little bit sour-ish with lime in it. It’s a good thirst quencher during a hot day.

    Remember to spot for a tree as the stalls are under the tree. It’s a good location as there’s a tree providing shade so it wouldn’t feel very hot. The stalls open from late morning till mid-afternoon. Lunch and afternoon tea will be nice. =)

    Credit: Thanks dearest @hueisean for introducing this place.

  • Penang Asam Laksa and Hokkien Prawn Mee At Seapark

    After residing in Kuala Lumpur for a little while, I never stop in searching for the best or closest-to-Penang’s-feel’s Penang hawker food like Asam Laksa and Hokkien Prawn Mee which both are my favourite. I keep Googling and testing many food. There’s still no the best yet but I strongly believe there must be one that feels home. =)

    On a fine Thursday afternoon, me, Arron and Carmen, three musketeers from Penang went to look for a Asam Laksa and Hokkien Prawn Mee stall at Seapark, Petaling Jaya. The combination of Hokkien Prawn Mee and Asam Laksa only can be found in Kuala Lumpur or outside of Penang as you don’t really see it in Penang. They just wanna sell “Penang” food.

    After following the point on the GPS, we reached our destination, feeling a little bit Penang because it’s not a kopitiam but on the corner of some shop lots, placing a few tables and here they eat.

    Surprisingly, I hear the stall owner speaks Penang Hokkien, so I assume they were from Penang. Ordered a bowl of Asam Laksa and Hokkien Prawn Mee to try out the tasted.

    The asam laksa came first. Looks nice in a nice red bowl, has many fish but then the soup tasted weird to me. It’s not Penang enough, not sweet enough and lack of the fishy taste. They actually put in the fish separately instead of coming out from the soup.


    Ignore the ugly photos of the Hokkien Prawn Mee, I took it after I ate it. Sorry. Haha.

    Here comes the hokkien prawn mee. To be honest, this is better than the asam laksa to me. The prawn taste was there, tiny little shrimps were good and I’ll say this is ok-good. Still not better than Penang but I will be back for the hokkien prawn mee. Though, there’s no egg.


    Eater #1: Me!


    Eater #2: Carmen from Penang.


    Eater #3: Arron Lim from Penang.

    I want to talk about hokkien prawn mee is I kinda dislike having big shrimp in it as it’s very not authentic. Move around Penang, look for the best hokkien prawn mee, and you won’t see any big shrimp in it. =)

    Anyway, this is a good stall, I will be back for the hokkien prawn mee. =) Another thing is I saw people eat asam laksa with bee hoon, weird. Haha.

    Any recommendation of Penang food to me and the reader?

  • Nyonya Laksa and Malacca Cendol in Jonker88, Malacca

    Nyonya Laksa and Malacca Cendol in Jonker88, Malacca

    Today I want to introduce a must visit cafe/restaurant along the famous Jonker Walk in Malacca. It doesn’t sell chicken rice ball but does have a wide variety of local street food like assam laksa, nyonya laksa, siam laksa, cendol, curry mee and more, all under one roof. Some might thing, it’s so not authentic when it comes all under one roof but actually the food are cook by different stalls inside this Jonker 88 Cafe.

    It’s full of people from afternoon till night and I came by here twice, once was to try the laksa and another time to try the cendol as recommended by Internet people.

    The interior is pretty nice as there’s many hanging pictures and antique stuff in it, thought one lousy thing is not clean, we spotted a rat ran over the place, that’s pretty crazy I feel. Without bothering the dirtyness, we just eat and go, didn’t wnat to spend long time at there as many were still waiting for the places.

    The cendol is only RM2 and it’s very sweet, very nice and portion pretty big. What’s different from the one at the Clock Tower’s is this one is not so waterish as that, it’s more icy and the gula melaka is pour on top of the ice instead of the bottom. Yet, it’s still a good eat.

    Next up we’ve got the Nyonya Laksa. I thought Nyonya Laksa is like Siam Laksa which has lemak (coconut milk) in it but it’s differnt, it’s close to assam laksa because of the sour taste and there’s egg, fu chok and some vegetable. What’s different is there’s no prawn paste like there’s in assam laksa.

    Another thing is I think the Siam Laksa at here is pretty good-sell because that it had sold out when we wanted to order it. So we tried Nyonya, and not a bad try. Can try. Maybe you will like it. =)

    One more thing, I am curious about the taste of assam laksa at there as now I am pretty confuse where is the origin of assam laksa, Penang or other place? Haha.

    Ignore me. =D

  • Penang Asam Laksa And Hokkien Prawn Mee at O&S Kopitiam, Seapark

    I am still always in search for the best, “closest-to-Penang’s-taste” hokkien prawn mee and asam laksa but still not finding any, I remembered the prawn mee at SS15’s Asia Cafe was nice but still not the closest yet. I always Google to find for one and recently I found the one in Seapark, many people talked about it and so I went to check it out.

    The kopitiam name is called O&S Restaurant, located in Seapark near the Esso petrol station. There’s actually another asam laksa and hokkien prawn mee stall in Seapark.

    I ordered the hokkien prawn mee first as my lunch. It looks awesome, there’s egg, there’s beansprout, there’s mini prawn. However what I don’t like is the chilli paste. It’s not spicy at all and doesn’t add spiciness into the soup. It’s like those Cantonese kind of not-spicy prawn sambal. If it’s more spicy then the hokkien mee will be good, it’s a little bit too sweet in my opinion. So this is not “close-to-Penang”.

    Then I ordered the asam laksa too, the same stall that sells curry laksa which we normally call it curry mee in Penang. I wonder why they like to sell curry laksa and asam laksa in the same stall. It takes like 15 minutes for the order to arrive and I was thinking it will be great. It came and I saw nice big fish, however it’s a little bit too sourish.

    So in my opinion, I think the other stall in Seapark has a better one that this place. What do you think? And if to choose which food is better here, I go for hokkien prawn mee. =)
