'Family issues' force famous Penang laksa stall in Ayer Itam to close


GEORGE TOWN: A bowl of hot laksa is definitely one of the bucket list items that you have to tick off when visiting Penang.

Famous as a “must-have” for visitors and tourists heading to the Kek Lok Si Temple, the laksa stall at the foothill of the temple will be closing its doors for now.

Despite the hot sun followed by a slight drizzle, customers queued up patiently in line to take away their favourite delicacy on the last day of business on Tuesday (May 18).
