Sweet, sour, salty and umami, the humble assam laksa hits up most of the five basic tastes (the last being bitter) in one dish. In its essence, assam laksa is noodles served in sweet, sour and spicy fish broth topped up with chunks of fish and umami-rich shrimp paste. The dish also happens to be one of the must-try dishes of Penang, Malaysia, which perhaps many of us due to the long wait time to get our passports renewed. But without leaving Singapore, you too can tuck into assam laksa. Keep scrolling to find out where.

As the name implies, the star dish here is the Penang assam laksa, which is prepared by Penang born and bred chef-owner Ms Pat. While prices are a tad on the higher side for a (halal-certified) hawker stall perhaps due to the importation of ingredients from Penang, the wait is well worth it. Prices start at $6.50.
