Cooking up a well-loved dish through the generations

Busy bees: Ang’s family members and workers preparing the famous Air Itam laksa (inset) at their stall.

GEORGE TOWN: The famous Air Itam laksa is prepared by the family business’ second and third generations, but that hasn’t stopped hordes of food lovers from besieging the stall at the foothill of Kek Lok Si temple.

This asam laksa stall along Jalan Pasar was started in 1955 by Lee Lay Hua, who then handed the business to her son Ang Kak Seong.
