When we visited our good friends in Bayan Baru last Sunday, he and his wife took us to Sungai Ara to try Assam Laksa under a shady tree. Going there for the first time, they showed us a short cut route, crossing Malay villages and finally reaching Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim at a T-juction whereby on our left is Sek Men Keb Sg Ara (a secondary school).

Fit exactly what My Significant Other loves, having meals under tree giving the feeling like going for a picnic I guess. In a hot afternoon, sitting under shady tree obviously is cozy and refreshing.

As we arrived at the Assam Laksa stall, we noticed they were also selling deep fried spring roll (popiah), deep fried chicken wings and banana fritters. I heard this owner lives at a landed terrace house along the inner road behind the tree. On weekends, her teenage kids would help out to run the business.

Service was prompt and our Laksa arrived in less than 5 minutes. The soup was plain and a bit too sour based on my taste bud. I always prefer a thicker soup with more spices. And this stall obviously caters for folks who like more tamarind juice in their Assam Laksa.

The stall does not have a name, so please check out the exact location here - courtesy of Google Map.
