Nan Yang Dao's Penang Assam Laksa was my personal favourite dish.

At $7 a bowl, the portion was really large and came topped with ikan kembung (chub mackerel), sliced cucumber, onions, pineapple, mint leaves and chilli.

The Assam broth is without a doubt the component that makes or breaks this dish, and Nan Yang Dao passes with flying colours. We love that the broth is piquant, tangy, rich and complex with a nice briny and earthy flavour from the melodic combination of mackerel and tamarind.

This is definitely a bowl of Assam Laksa we will be back for!
