World's BEST LAKSA is in Malaysia | MALAYSIAN STREET FOOD in Penang - BEST Street Food in Malaysia

Welcome back to another episode of Chopstick Travel with Luke Martin. Today, we take you on a street food tour just outside of Georgetown, Penang to a small village called Air Itam. Situated just into the mountain-side, this little town is famous for delicious STREET FOOD! Among the street food stalls selling all kinds of Malaysian foods and Chinese-influence foods, there are two very famous spots: one selling a traditional curry mee and the other a traditional assam laksa!

We also checked out the beautiful Buddhist temple - Kek Lok Si, while we were there, and took in the beautiful views.

We couldn’t resist the classic Malaysian dessert - cendol, in downtown Penang, before heading to one of our favourite dishes of all time (not just in Malaysia) - bak kut teh. It is a medicinal soup filled with vegetables and tofu and it cooked in an earthenware pot. The best way to end a day of street food eating and exploring!
