Asam Laksa, Pasar Air Itam Penang
Many people loves Asam Laksa because it tastes sour and sometimes spicy.
The main ingredients for assam laksa include shredded fish, normally kembung fish or mackerel, and finely sliced vegetables including cucumber, onions, red chillis, pineapple, lettuce, common mint, “daun kesum” (Vietnamese mint or laksa mint) and pink bunga kantan (ginger buds). Assam laksa is normally served with either thick rice noodles or thin rice noodles (vermicelli). And topped off with “petis udang” or “hae ko”, a thick sweet prawn/shrimp paste.
Some people believes that the dirtier the cooking pot is, the more delicious the food is.
Did you notice how dirty is the 2 cooking pot? It accumulates years of stain.

There you go, a bowl of Penang Assam Laksa at Pasar Air Itam.
And surprisingly, they are selling this at only RM2.50!
