Penang Asam Laksa @ SS2 Pasar Malam, Petaling Jaya
Now you don’t have to drive up to Penang to have a bowl of good Asam Laksa. You can have equally delicious Penang Asam Laksa at SS2 pasar malam, Petaling Jaya. No really, we aren’t exaggerating…
and the noodle…
RuehYinn and I love this asam laksa. This is the 2nd week in a row we have the same asam laksa. Here are the reasons why:-
1. the portion is pretty generous; more than the average laksa you get anywhere else;
2. the price is reasonable. A small bowl is RM3.80 and a big bowl is RM4.30;
3. we extremely love the idea of having the “hay kor”. In English, it is called Prawn paste; and
4. the soup is tastefully good.
However, RuehYinn and I have contrary view on the fish pieces that comes with the asam laksa. He prefers the fish to be fully shredded and blended into the soup. He claimed that is the original way of cooking Penang Asam Laksa.
As for me I am relatively neutral but amazed that the fish pieces are reasonably big…
Very good business and the crowd…
My advice to you… please remember to bring tissue if you decided to try out the asam laksa. You will know why… 
Else you can buy a coconut drink to cool down your body. The stall is adjacent to the asam laksa’s stall…
Penang Asam Laksa’s stall is located at the SS2 Mamak, opposite the police station’s quarters. Since it is a pasar malam stall, I’ll leave you guys with the owner’s vehicle plate number (in case):-
BJE 1762
As a note: Pasar Malam at SS2 is on MONDAY night !!
