Kim Seng Kopitiam — Balik Pulau, Penang
About
Historic Balik Pulau Assam Laksa at Botanica CT in Balik Pulau. Kim Seng Kopitiam houses what many consider the definitive Balik Pulau-style Assam Laksa — a recipe predating the 1940s that moved to this Botanica CT shophouse when the original heritage wooden house was demolished. The broth is celebrated for its balanced medley of sweet, sour, and spicy from the tamarind base, mackerel fish flakes, and laksa herbs, served with thick chewy noodles. Both Assam and Siam laksa varieties are served. Contact: +60 12-428 6235. Non-halal. Reviews mention char koay teow, asam laksa, nutmeg juice and wok hei.
