    When it comes to Penang food, laksa is always one of the first dishes to be mentioned (especially by girls, I don’t know why), and when it comes to laksa for many Penangites, the best laksa on the island is this little stall located all…

    Ms Ann Martin runs the laksa stall at Kim Seng Kopitiam. She has kept faithful to the flavours perpetuated by Mrs Ewe Chooi Guan, maintaining both the quality and taste.

    The current location for this coffee shop is at a strip mall at Botanica City. They sell other street food like char koay teow but this coffee shop is more famous for its laksa.

    One of the best asam laksa and char koay teow I’ve ever tasted. The laksa had that perfect balance of tangy, spicy and aromatic, while the char koay teow was smoky, flavour-packed and cooked just right.

    It's a coffee shop selling laksa & CKT. The lemak laksa is quite flavourful, but i would prefer if the soup can be more rich. The CKT tastes horrible, no wok hei & barely any tastes.

    Asam laksa is ok, a bit salty but sourish enough. Gravy a bit diluted. Should have ordered the nutmeg but instead I ordered kopi (average). The fried Koay tiau is good

    The original 'famous' laksa in Balik Pulau. Choose from two different laksas, or have them mixed. Good range of drinks and friendly service.
