D’Laksa Assam Laksa 
If you have tried all the Penang Laksas that we have mentioned above, we highly recommend you to make a trip down to KSL Shopping Centre at JB, which is just a short bus ride or taxi ride away from the checkpoint. D’Laksa is undoubtedly one of the best Penang Laksas I’ve ever tried, and you’ll definitely catch a whiff of the aromatic scent when you ascend the escalator to Basement 1 of the shopping centre.

The flavourful broth came with a complex burst of flavours, doused with thick and chewy authentic Penang Laksa noodles that only made me crave for more. It only costs RM5 a bowl!
