There are a long history back where asam laksa is considered a high tea snack. They use to be serving it in a small bowl rather than the current version which serve in a standard size bowl. For tourist, your trip to Penang won’t be complete if you didn’t taste the ASAM LAKSA and CHAR KOEY TEOW.
For tourist, when you talk about asam laksa, the first that would come into your mind would be the Kek Lok Si/Air Itam Bus Station Asam Laksa. I already patron this stall since I was at the very young age cause my house just a 10 minutes walk away. But now I find that their soup are getting more diluted and didn’t taste as good as last time.
I currently prefer the one in Jelutong which recommended by my friend. It is operated by husband and wife at a kopitiam called Khean Hooi Restaurant.
The coffee shop have nothing special and doesn’t even have a big crowd. But don’t be fool with the crowd. The hidden gems are shown as you walk approach a stall there.
Standard ingredients for asam laksa.
This is what make this stall so famous for. Fish balls ! It is huge and bigger than our standard dim sum fishballs.

Christy : In Penang island, this is the only stall that come with fish balls. On mainland is more popular for this type.
Do checkout the map on how to get there. It is located just right at the corner towards Lorong Perak.
