Jalan Perak Fish Ball Asam Laksa at Restaurant Khean Hooi

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.

You get a whole piece of fish for every bowl you order. You can opt for additional fish with extra charges. You can look at the soup which is pretty clear. This is due to the way they cook the soup which that they don’t let the fish to overcook till smashed and blend into the soup. Do rest assure that the taste still as good!

This bowl is mine !!!! Look at those freshly cut chili padi …….

Extra bowl of fish balls.
