After fellow foodie K.S. (@chanksters) dropped me a text from out of the blue to say he was sending over Assam Laksa, I did a little happy dance. Coincidentally, he timed it to arrive on the same day I had read @wongahyoke’s article about the dish in @straits_times.com and was curious how it would taste. Well, my curiosity (and belly) were satisfied because I enjoyed the “Super Star Original Famous Penang Laksa” thoroughly.
K.S. shared that they import the thick rice noodles from Penang because unlike the smoother, whiter type you find at most stalls here, the Penang-made one can absorb the gravy better, so it’s tastier. Speaking of gravy, only fresh Kembung (Indian mackerel) and premium quality Assam fruit go into the making of it. The flesh of the former, shredded very fine, was mostly broken down, adding a thickening effect rather than substantial pieces of fish to chew on. I love the tangy-ness the latter contributed - it tasted clean, sharp and bright rather than muted and murky. You can tell authenticity is prized by this stall because they source the “Hae Gor” (fermented shrimp paste) and Belachan from Penang too.
I like how they pay a lot of attention to the garnishes, providing customers with an ample amount of fresh mint leaves, sweet pineapple, sliced onions, cucumber and “bunga kantan” (ginger flower). The surprising addition of fresh green chilli padi infused the gravy with a kick of heat that I enjoyed very much as well.
