The Search for the Best ‘Asam Laksa’ Continues

I always enjoy eating ‘Asam Laksa’ (noodles in tangy fish gravy). It is one of those things that you either love or hate and I’m glad that it is one of the sourish dishes that I love.


(Once when I met Ps. Steven Choon at Grace Point Food Court, he told me there is a stall at the 5th Floor Wisma Merdeka Food Court which sells yummy ‘Asam Laksa’ but I have not tried it until this day. I do not even know whether the stall still exists or not)


About a year ago when Ir. Foo and I were talking about food, I told him I always tried to have ‘Asam Laksa’ at least once in each of my trip to KL and that I still have not found a shop in KK that sells delicious ‘Asam Laksa’.


He told me there is a shop in Inanam Business Centre that sells delicious ‘Asam Laksa’. The shop ‘Dat Seng’ is the same shop which my ING insurance agent DL brought me for lunch for the first time about a year ago. At that time DL had tomyam prawn noodles while I had fish meehoon soup.


Then earlier on this year when CTY and I went to this shop again, I called Ir. Foo to confirm the name of the shop. We were in the shop he mentioned but I told him it did not sell ‘Asam Laksa’. I had ‘Kuching Laksa’ instead.


Anyway today DL and I were planning to go back to this shop for lunch. While we were still looking for a parking bay, I called Ir. Foo and confirmed with him the name of the shop. DL and I agreed that the shop did not have ‘Asam Laksa’. Anyway we both had ‘Kuching Laksa’.


In the afternoon I had to call Ir. Foo re. work matter. Before that, I told him there was no ‘Asam Laksa’ being served in that shop. That was when he told me he made a mistake all this time. He meant tom yam noodles and not ‘Asam Laksa’. So I asked him whether he liked to eat ‘Asam Laksa’ and he said no.


Argh! All this while I have been looking for something that is really non-existent in that shop. And therefore the search for the best ‘Asam Laksa’ in KK continues for me.


I still have not had the opportunity to try the one available in ‘Old Town White Coffee’ yet.
