How do you cook asam pedas with a taste of sweetness? I couldn't even eat the asam pedas at all! The bak choi tasted so-so. Overall, the taste was useless. I wasted over $20 on pieces of junk!

"Saw this new shop pop up, and drawn in by the Laksa, we decided to give it a try -- and were largely disappointed.
While it's okay value for money, with a decent portion of fish and plenty of vegetables, the Asam itself just didn’t make the cut. It was sour, but not really spicy.
Thought it might become a staple, but unfortunately not for us."

Good taste, and the asam pedas portion is very large (with 1.5 slices of tuna). It has more than 5 lady fingers, a few tomatoes, and also comes with telur asin (salted egg). They even give you a free fresh lime. If you order extra rice, it can be eaten by two people.

"Very delicious, with a thick and flavorful asam pedas. I ate all the gravy, and it still wasn't enough! 🤌🏼😆 The price is also affordable, especially considering the large portion size of fish. Highly recommended! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻"

Excellent Assam pedas curry gravy – thick, full of flavor, and properly sour! I LOVED the hot sambal chili served with it, which gave it an extra kick. Generous portions. The set meal is great value. Awesome.

"New product from D’Laksa, and to be honest, the asam pedas was so good! Pure, authentic taste of Asam Pedas. Big portion, and the fish size was also quite big. The asam pedas udang was the best – a great combination. You can order one set meal for two and just add on more rice and other side dishes. Also, you should try out the crispy tofu. Overall, good food that tastes just like home-cooked food! 😍"

I always enjoy D'Laksa's Asam Laksa. This was my first time trying their Asam Pedas.
I ordered their Asam Pedas Pari Set, which included white rice and a drink, for RM21.90. The fish portion was good, and the gravy was thick, with the right balance of sour and spicy for my taste.
