After walking 6 Vegas-style mega blocks, I was in no mood for below par Malaysian food. The menu was very impressive with descriptions and photos. Then, I saw my favorite - Penang Assam Laksa.
When I placed my order I proceeded to quiz the server if it is really the "real" Assam laksa, and I placed the emphasis on "real". I told him I'm from Malaysia and I'm very critical about the taste. He said "Yes, the cook is from Penang, and it is the real thing." Awesome!
And...(Drum roll)...he wasn't lying! Lol! It was Assam laksa like I know it. OMGoodness! My taste buds are doing the happy dance, a very happy dance. We also ordered sambal udang, kacang Pendek and chendol dessert. And they were all really really good. The 6-mega size blocks to get here was worth it!!! Thank you.
