Air Itam Market Laksa is a famous laksa stall in Air Itam Village. It operates from the curb outside the Air Itam Market, near the junction between Jalan Pasar and Jalan Paya Terubong.
The laksa stall has been operating for decades and was one of my favourite laksa stalls. However, I have taken the laksa here for many years, until recently, when I went there with my wife. As usual, the place was crowded, and we had to share a table with someone else.
The laksa was quite spicy. I thought it was quite good, but my wife said it was below her standard. She said that the laksa was too spicy, too diluted and also lacking in ingredients. I suppose different people will have different opinion.
Getting there
The nearest bus stops are along Jalan Pasar and Jalan Air Itam. You can go there by bus. Any Rapid Penang bus with the number beginning with "2" can take you there.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
