Laksa Penang is one of the most delicious food in the world, also known as Penang Assam Laksa. Most of us wonder where can we get a delicious bowl of laksa in Penang. So, in Penang, we have it either Malay style laksa or chinese style assam laksa. Both have subtle taste but still you can notice the differences. But by time, the taste of both of Penang Malay and Penang chinese style laksa kinda fuse together its taste and you cannot even tell the differences.

Penang Assam Laksa basically is a freshly made rice noodles, soaked in fish broth. Fish broth usually made from fish (of course), ginger torch/flower, chilli, blended onion, lemon grass, thai basil and salt to taste and sometimes sugar is added too. The condiments include shredded pineapples, mint leaves, chopped onion, chopped chillies, shredded lettuce and the unmistakably pungent(but hell delicious) prawn paste (picture; look for the black liquid in the spoon).

Try it, you gonna love it!
