I have always been crazy about Penang assam laksa. Something about the fish soup that I have never quite forgotten. Just thinking about it made me hunger for it. That is how I ended up at a cafe in town waiting for abana and victor
Our target was the Sarawak laksa and Penang assam laksa.

The service was good and the Penang assam laksa arrived soon after. At RM7.50 it was not expensive.

Victor rushed down from the airport to join us.
It was a great time to just unwind and exchange tips about photography. As for the food, the drinks were okay. We had hot choc and iced lemon tea.

If you expect great Penang assam laksa, eat the original by the roadside Penang assam laksa. Throw in the price of a return air ticket to Penang too. 
This luxury Sibu version of the Penang assam laksa is okay and some of my friends say it is fabulous and does bear some resemblance to the original dish. I suppose the original version would not have gone down well with the local people with its thick, aromatic prawn sauce and abundant fish flakes. The Sarawak laksa tasted the way Sarawak laksa should taste.
Looking at the Sarawak laksa and the Penang asam laksa makes me drool….
go to Penang soon!!!!
I still hanker for the Asam Laksa of my youth… plenty of fish in the gravy and lots of ulam! Nowadays… everything also cut cost.
in this particular case, there was little fish
does sarawak laksa taste the same like the usual curry laksa ar? i am a sucker for curry laksa with thick thick santan….heheheh….:)
more like the penang curry mee
the sarawak looks good, love shrimps! isn’t it too spicy?
spicy or not, i suppose it depends on the individual
haiya, too spicy for brekkie haha
it was spicy alright
Beng Beng Thanks for the laksa treat.
you are most welcome
Is this at Premier Hotel?
Yes, it is. Why dont you drop by one of these weekends
i love laksa sarawak. so hard to find good laksa sarawak in semenanjung!
i think laksa Sarawak is a little like Penang curry mee
I haven’t went to Premier Hotel for this…
it is only available on weekends until the end of this month
Wow big nice bowl there. *looking at Abana’s bowl SLURP SLURP
i think Abana finished it all
Looks so yummy! For 7.50 it is still ok lar. I ate asam laksa with my wife some time ago…and the ones here sucks!
the ones here r different
wow! it looks so tasty and i think it’s really really hot. hehehe… the redish colors tells that.
it was very spicy indeed
Delicious, but those are look like more than Vietnamese foods to me.
