Penang Air Itam Laksa - Only open weekends (3 weekends per month)

Delicious and authentic Penang Laksa. Bowl is on the savoury/salty side! Very fragrant and savoury prawn paste flavour in the soup, good mix of herbs, spices, and fish, good texture from the noodles. Good pairing with sugarcane juice from the stall beside this!

Authentic experience Must be the most yummy laksa ever. Can order ice kacang from across the road No aircon Lots of cars beside the road Accepts qr code Recommend? Yes! Must eat

At the Ai Market food court. The assam Laksa was less tasty than the ones I eat before. The gravy is not thick with fish meat. There were lack of ingredients like Siamese mint /pudina and pineapple. Take note This one is not the original famous stall beside road sides which was the original Penang Asam Laksa. Sorry to say the one at the market stall is 2nd grade. However not to disappoint you the cendol stall is Grade 1. Nice delicious cendol. A must if you are here. No choice have to Q up as the only Laksa stall at Ayer Itam market food court. Oyster stall is okay average good.

Perfect original penang asam laksa, broth is well balanced between sour, spicy, sweetness and importantly the big portion of prawn paste with red chili. The Staff were very friendly and fast to serve. Surprisingly the consistency of taste still remain the same all this years because of the chef still remain the same. Highly recommend at least 2 bowls for maximum satisfaction. RM6 per bowl.

Disappointed with this famous laksa. Big big difference between now and then. The renew shop lost its touch of this signature dish. Let’s start with the broth, plain and without much fish. The vegetables that came with the broth wasn’t that appealing as well. Smell wasn’t there. I try my best to finish it just to show respect to the restaurant. Don’t think I’ll patron them again.

Finally back here to this famous Penang laksa hawker stall. Took a while to get here due to the very bad traffic jam. This may be due to the Saturday morning crowd. Took a while to find a parking spot. Anyway back to the laksa. Its somehow not as good as I remembered. The gravy doesn't seem to be as thick as before. The amount of fish meat in the gravy is less than what it used. Overall experience is just above average.

𝑭𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝑨𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒎 𝑳𝒂𝒌𝒔𝒂 𝒂𝒕 𝑨𝒊𝒓 𝑰𝒕𝒂𝒎 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒕 Just 5 mins walking from Kek Lok Si temple, you can enjoy a bowl of Assam Laksa filled with thick rice noodles, shredded mackerel fish, shrimp paste, onions, mint leaves, cucumber and sliced chillies. ⏰11am - 5pm Saturday&Sunday only This stalls attracts a lot of customers. The price for each bowl of assam laksa is RM 5.50.

*Parking around this area in general is a challenge (Especially if the morning market is open, and combined with the temple going crowd). If you do decide to drive here, I would recommend parking in the neighbourhood few streets down and just walk over. **If you don’t feel like coming here to have the food, do note that this store is available on AirAsia’s food delivery app so that’s always an option. Ambience: Although not the most comfortable with the cars honking away beside you, I think you’re pretty much already getting the best you can for a roadside stall. There are plenty of tables so you should definitely be able to find a seat in no time. Service: Staff are really friendly and found us a table just when we arrived. Extra condiments were also freely given when requested so that was nice. The drinks stall beside are also really attentive and will quickly come over to take your orders if they see you. Food: There’s a reason why this stall is so popular, and I think the hype is definitely justified. The depth of flavour in the soup is just not something you can find in most stores and you get plenty of ingredients in it too. Price: Pretty reasonable prices, as it was RM5.50 for a bowl. You are definitely getting your money’s worth in this. Conclusion: The food here is definitely top notch and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to sample how Asam Laksa should be like.
