Price: $8.90. Verdict: recommended if you can stomach the after-meal spiciness.
This asam laksa is unlike the usual singapore laksa. It is a Penang style asam laksa with distinctive 'asam' taste. If you are looking to have a good o' laksa with extra 'hum', you might want to look elsewhere. This laksa has asam and fish based broth and not your usual coconut based broth. Although this broth is different from the usual, it is nevertheless very flavorful. But that's not the main highlight. The main highlight is the thick vermicelli that's infused with the broth flavor. Ooolala! You can taste the 'asam' in every single strand of vermicelli! My only caveat for this is that it can get quite spicy after a while so you might want to think twice if you cannot take spicy.
