Penang Air Itam Laksa has been serving genuine Penang Laksa since 1955. The Assam Laksa is topped with a dollop of prawn paste and is prepared with thick rice noodles, onions, mint leaves, cucumber that has been thinly sliced, sliced chilies, and shredded mackerel fish. The soup has a rich flavor because it has been cooked with a lot of mackerel fish and a variety of spices and seasonings.
