Penang Assam Laksa Crowned No. 7 In CNN World’s 50 Best Food
If you’ve ever been to Penang, you most definitely have tried out our version of Assam Laksa. It’s a bowl of thick wheat noodles that comes loaded with ‘poached, flaked mackerel, tamarind, chili, mint, lemongrass, onion, and pineapple’. According to CNN, the Penang Assam Laksa is also ‘one of Malaysia’s most popular dishes’.
This dish ‘is an addictive spicy-sour fish broth with noodles that’ll have your nose running before the spoon even hits your lips.’ And, this is true because each spoonful will naturally make you wanna dig in more.
