Authentic Penang Laksa

Tuesday at 3:34pm
The laksa here is really yummy and it has the authentic Penang taste.The second best dish that we have tried is the salted egg sotong. However, the kway teow is disappointing. The average-tasting kway teow didn't taste like any in Penang. 
It didn't have the 'wok hei' taste (the flavor, taste and 'essence' imparted by a hot wok on food), which in my opinion is a requirement for Penang kway teow. You may visit my post for more pictures http://cristalglace.blogspot.sg/2013/04/keu-penang-seafood-restaurant.html

Yummy food yet need to wait for long q

01 Jun 2012
The dishes aren't authentic as acclaimed by my Penang friend.  However, to me, the dishes are yummy, except for the prawn noodles.  I don't like it to have yellow noodles.  Other then that, the dishes and price are worthwhile to go and have a crowdy dinner at there.

Look like Geylang is full of food gems to be uncovered.

    Holy assam laksa

    28 Jan 2012
    For better photos and reviews do check out fourleggedfoodies!

    Penang Assam Laksa - one of the few dishes that make me salivate just thinking about it. After having my virgin bowl of good assam laksa in Petaling Jaya, the search began!

    Of their 6-7 page menu of zi char items which are all supposedly straight out of Penang, the first page proudly presents the 3 dishes people like us are looking for - Penang Assam Laksa, Penang style Char Kway Teow, and Penang style Prawn Mee.

    Penang Assam Laksa ($4.50 - $5.50) - As the brown bowl arrived at my table, apprehensive, I stirred and slurped and soon found out ... that this was leagues better than I expected. Better than the one I had in Petaling Jaya, better than Gurney Drive Restaurant in Suntec, in fact E said it was better than some in Penang itself.

    Noodles were thin and soft yet firm, which was perfect with the thick gravy. And the generous portions of mackerel going so well in the sour gravy, and the veges and cucumber for the crunch in between.

    Penang style char kway teow ($5 - $10) - Unable to resist, we ordered another plate of char kway teow to compare, and it was super duper awesome as well. Not too oily despite the liberal-ness of lard, ultra-fragrant and tantalizingly delicious, lots of stuff in it for just $5.

    Can't quite comment on the zi char, but the assam laksa is a real deal. It's an acquired taste I suppose and not for everyone but if you love it, this is as good as it gets.
