Asam Laksa @ Air Itam Market, Penang, Malaysia.

If your in Penang, without no doubt one of the food that is definitely on the list is asam laksa. Sour tamarind, spicy yet robust taste. It's good stuff.

This stall was introduced to me from a friend, and yes it's one of the famous ones.

This place is a fast turnover. Grab a table, order your laksa, and in a few minutes you'll be served.

Lip smacking goodness. I'll guarantee you'll perspire washing this dish down.

A dallop of prawn paste/otak udang(the black sauce) coupled with slices of chilli on top of grounded fish flesh with other garnishings. This is one asam laksa, that i will always come back if i ever go to Penang. Old school setting, by the road side, crammed tables. Reminds me of my recess break in school canteen days. Wash the spicyness down with a glass of a fresh sugar cane juice.
