亞依淡 哑吧叻沙 — Restaurant in George Town

Was already a customer for this specific laksa stall more than 12 years ago, when it’s still not this famous. I remember many would choose the opposite laksa stall by the roadside but my dad only loves this, back than there was only one person who was working - the deaf owner himself. Now it is like 5 staff, and the waiting time for takeaway also needs half an hour.

After visiting Kek Lok Si Temple, our intention was to have laksa at the more famous Penang Air Itam Laksa across the road, however, they weren’t open, so we headed here for assam laksa. The laksa was bright, fragrant, piping hot and flavourful. The assam laksas we have had in the past have been a touch too fishy, tangy or sour. This assam laksa was perfectly balanced and more-ish. Our only regret was ordering one bowl to share. We would have ordered another one, if only the line was not as long as the entire width of the food court. The aunty taking orders was also...
