Kuala Kangsar Famous Pak Ngah Laksa


On our way to Penang, we took a detour to Kuala Kangsar for a Laksa treat. The Pak Ngah Laksa has been around 50 years ago. Started off with only a small stall behind the Tsung Wah school, its customer are mostly students and locals from the surrounding villages. Today, the laksa is known throughout the the peninsula Malaysia.




A humble beginning who made it this far. He's probably earning more than an average salary man in KL. The soup of the laksa is slightly clearer and doesn't taste as fishy as the Chinese recipe while still carries the taste of laksa very well. The texture of the noodle is soft unlike the bouncy noodles you get in the Chinese laksa. Which is probably a good thing knowing the amount of food chemical needed to make the noodle bouncy. Put together with a bowl of ABC gives good after-meal satisfaction.

LAKSA PAK NGAH (HALAL)
(Behind of Tsung Wah Secondary School)
Jalan Dato Sagor,
33000 Kuala Kangsar,
Perak, Malaysia.

Telephone : 605-775 7986, or 6012-684 7986.
Business hours : 9am-7pm daily. Closed on Wednesdays.



How to get there? Exit North South Highway at Kuala Kangsar. Follow the sign and head towards the Kuala Kangsar town. Approximately 1.5km away from the toll exit, you should pass under an elaborately decorated archway and arrive at a traffic light. There should be a row of  shop on your right with a prominent Goodyear tyre shop. Turn right at the traffic light. Tsung Wah School is just right ahead of you. At the T-junction, turn left and immediately turn right into the slip road. This kampung road should lead you to Pak Ngah's Laksa!
