Best Asam Laksa in Melaka

Regarded by some as Malacca’s core, you can find Chef Freddie Home Recipe, a humble hidden gem here. It showcases a modest variety of Chinese a la carte home-cooked cuisine. If you do dine here, get a portion of white rice that best matches its Penang Asam Laksa Fish Head! With a mix hint of spicy and sour, this dish is served in a steel bowl to retain its warmness, and is indeed tummy satisfying.

For something different besides Malacca's famous Nyonya rendition of the laksa, at Jonker 88, expect to find the best assam laksa within the area. As the stall is located in the tourist area of Jonker Street, you bet the crowds are endlessly pouring in. If you're willing to wait, this place is a must-try! Assam laksa is difficult to encounter in Malacca so if you're looking for Penang's take of the laksa, this is definitely the place for you!

Started from a Malaysian animated television short series made popular today, and ventured into setting up a restaurant, the brainchild behind Kedai Makan Upin & Ipin is brought about by the founders of a local animation house, the Les’ Copaque Production. The food menu items here are catered for both Muslims and non-Muslims to enjoy the same. Satiate your taste buds with one of its local delights, the Asam Laksa Isi Ikan. It is garnished with fish chunks rather than flakes, and onto the mixture is poured a mind-blowing thick flavourful asam fish soup.

Food Paradise is found on level 3 inside a shopping mall. It is indeed a food paradise with various hawker stalls, and it showcases a distinctive touch of Melaka's Street Food vibe, minus the hot humid weather and debris from the roadside. While you're away from the sweltering heat of the weather, indulge into a bowl of the hot and tasty Penang Asam Laksa here. To cool down that throat of yours, order a portion of cendol or a heavenly bowl of ice kacang.
