"The owner actually about closing his place, but he was kind enough to let me order the Asam Laksa and honestly I really like the flavour. It is delicious, love the texture of the noodle and fish soup, also the green chilli give a little more kick on my taste bud. So if you looking for Asam Laksa Penang, try this one! It's cheap as well..."

"I tried it and laksa was rich in terms of flavour and ingredients. Chillie was served on side which is great. However, the atmosphere is a killer. I had seen a rat running just less one meter away. Smells are terrible, too."

"It was unplanned to eat here but the laksa was so delicious, the broth is fulled with fish pieces. The potion for RM6 is so affordable and I ordered another one for takeaway. Although the stall is not that convenient due to the smell and location, it’s still recommended. The owner (he addressed himself as Mamu) was so friendly and he wanted to give RM2 discount but I refused as I said I really like the laksa so no need discount ;)"

"Rich fishy broth, chewy laksa (rice noodles), a bit tangy, but you can custom your order. RM6 per bowl, worth it!"
