There is no doubt that laksa happens to be one of Malaysia’s best-loved dishes. Although you will find many variations of this popular dish, Penang’s Assam laksa is renowned as a special culinary creation. It consists of a sour and spicy fish broth combined with vermicelli noodles. Probably the most important element in Penang Assam laksa would be the spicy paste that flavours the broth. This noodle soup also includes ingredients like flaked fish, cucumber, sliced onions, lettuce, red chillies, ginger flower, tamarind and mint. Finally, when the dish is being served, it is accompanied by a little prawn paste to provide an additional touch of flavour.
