Previously located at Seang Teik Road, Phaik Laksa has since moved to a novel place at Jalan Air Hitam, correct side past times side to the immediately defunct Shell Petrol Station on the same road. Phaik Laksa has been receiving overwhelming responses; peculiarly from the students studying inward the nearby high schools. They are non visiting exclusively because of its signature Assam Laksa but for their famous Taiwanese Ai Yu Jelly equally well.
Phaik's signature Assam Laksa (Rm 3.50) seems to endure 1 of the pop choices for the nearby students. It has the quintessential fresh greens in addition to of course, the mortal to Penang Assam Laksa- Shrimp Paste. Phaik's version has a lighter soup base, the flavor was non equally heavy equally compared to others. It possessed the essential acidity but nosotros idea the spiciness was rather soft. The noodles were okay, though I would prefer them to endure bouncier. Not out of the basis skillful but a bang-up house to assuage one's yearning for Assam Laksa.
Alternatively, 1 mightiness desire to larn for their Hokkien Mee (Rm 3.50); deceivingly unproblematic but the seafood broth packs a flavorful punch. It has a overnice flavor, fully accentuated from the crustacean in addition to pork bones; completed alongside diverse condiments such equally Hard Boiled Egg, Shrimps, Pork slices in addition to Water Spinach. However, nosotros idea the lineament of the Chili Paste was unsatisfactory, it did non offering the expected chili heat.
Prawn Cracker (RM 0.50/ piece) in addition to Deep Fried Spring Rolls (Rm 0.80/ piece)
Jelly Ice (爱玉冰/ Rm 3)
Some Assam Laksa devotees mightiness similar to companionship Prawn Crackers in addition to Spring Rolls to larn alongside the flavorsome fish broth. The Prawn Crackers were great, skillfully deep fried till perfection alongside a shattering crisp; skillful to swallow on its ain also equally to dip inward the fish broth. Spring Rolls, on the other hand, pallid inward comparing alongside the onetime snack. The filling did non justify the Spring Rolls, equally though they were under-seasoned in addition to rather bland. Had I did non companionship it myself, I would non fifty-fifty know that I was eating Spring Rolls. Je Ne Sais Quoi.
Thirst quencher was Jelly Ice, Taiwanese dessert- Ai Yu, served alongside canned Lychee, a dash of fresh Lemon juice in addition to completed alongside shaved Ice. It was dangerously refreshing, icy cold, sweetness alongside a zingy acidic twist from Lemon, the perfect solution to the unbearable sultry tropical heat.
