A Must in Penang - Assam Laksa *Farlim Shell Station Branch*

Whenever you came to penang, you must eat laksa. It's a must, i don't know why. So during last long weekend, some friends were in town. Once again, we "must" go for laksa. The most famous laksa stall in Penang is at Ayer Itam, near Kek Lok Si. Even you never eaten before, i think you sure heard of it before. But the stall i went was another one , because one of my friend don't want to expose under the sun. It is branch from the one opposite the Farlim Shell Station, which also very famous among penengites.

I forgotten how to go there as i'm following other's car. I remembered it's located at shop lots of a taman, near to a padang and surrounded with few cybercafes.

This is the only map that i can found.

This is the signboard. It written Farlim Shell Station. Quite a lot of people eating there during 4 in the afternoon and the stall situated at Ayer Itam too.

First,a sweet Qing Bu Liang a.k.a Leng Chi Kang to cool us down. This is delicious, as it really cool you down and not that sweet. *ratings: 4 star*


Look at the picture first, is this attractive?


*Slurp...!*
Okey, here you go. The Laksa!(RM3.00) This is superb. Eventhough it is not the Kek Lok Si original, but i gave 2 thumbs up for the taste. The soup is really thick and with generous amounts of shreaded fish bits in it.Can you see it? A whole Kembung Fish laying on top the laksa. The rice noodles is perfect Q. The combination of spicy and sour is just nice and mild. You can get laksa anywhere, but you really can't get the original taste as Penang. This laksa is sweeter compared to others as they add prawn paste "har kou / heh kor"inside and pineapples too. The Kek Lok Si one is more to spicy and sour type. I'm a typical penengite, and i love Laksa of course. This one i give 5 star! *****


Oh! A special thing about this laksa is, they eat the laksa with popiah. You can dip the popiah into the soup and it taste unique. This popiah is crispy but quite small. This plate is a portion of 3 rolls of popiah (RM0.80 each roll).
I give 3 star for the popiah, 4 star for the popiah dip with the soup!

Overall, this laksa is good. Personally recommand to all of you.



p/s: I'm so hungry after writing this post. More penang foodies coming after this!
