    The words Kim Laksa are not on the outside of the shop. Looks inside near the cooking area to see. Drinks are sold by another business inside the shop. It is simple tasty laksa served quicky. We had Asam Laksa and Siam Laksa.

    This is a well-known local Penang laksa shop. The soup base is made with sardines and has a rich spice flavor. The noodles (similar to rice noodles) are chewy and springy.
