Some people referred this place as the Indian Laksa because the owner of this assam laksa stall is an Indian uncle. This uncle used parked his motorbike outside at the corner of the alley behind Penang Plaza & Dorsett (Sheraton those days) Hotel and sell his laksa from the bike. I read in some blog that he started with a trishaw selling from house to house.

The Indian uncle’s wife is chinese and I saw her helping him at the stall many years back. Now he is still selling from his motorbike but its nicely parked in One Corner food court with a proper canopy and tables for customers to sit plus a variety of other food to order.

The assam laksa here is lighter than the usual Penang laksa but that is the way I like it with a bit of sweet prawn paste added into it. The portion is not big and the idea is to take the laksa soup with some popiah or prawn fritters together. You can opt to have chili sauce added to the popiah/fritters but I usually prefer to have just them with the laksa soup!

For those whom like thicker assam laksa, this may not be your thing but its a definate must have in Penang for me ;). 3 bowls plus some popiah and fritters set us back by RM9.00.

One more thing, the ambrah suen bouy here is pretty good, not too watery, not too thick, just nice at RM1.90 per cup, the perfect laksa companion :D.
