Famous Asam Laksa and Siam Laksa

Famous Asam Laksa and Siam Laksa @ Balik Pulau, Penang

My birthday hunting food adventure trip started to find a shop name "Nan Guang" with famous of Asam Laksa and Siam Laksa at Balik Pulau. I believe not much people know how to get there and luckily I have Garmin to helped even I got lost few time :)

The asam laksa and siam laksa is famous as they have appeared in rasa-rasa and newspaper articles. As you see the price list, you will get a shock. Only RM 2.50 per bowl !!! Just imagine what can you buy in KL? Probably a Teh Tarik Ais.

Both famous laksa was delicacy food serve in this stalls. You may ordered "Asam Laksa" or "Siam Laksa" or both. I prefered Asam Laksa with a spoon of "Har Gou" aka shrimp paste :).

My first glance on the asam laksa, my first thought was the soup was very thick because of  shredded pieces of sardin fish.

After I stir it together with shrimp paste, all the other ingredient such as pineapples, cucumbers, shallots and mint leaves found in the soup which actually not that thick but the taste was very strong and after I'm eating it, I can only said one word "DELICIOUS"

Beside this, I also saw this local favourite drink. The name was so special called "Ambrah Juice" and also another famous drink "Nutmeg Juice". Both drink only cost RM 1.50 per glass of juice. If you like sour drink, I think you might like Ambrah Juice and Nutmeg Juice.
