Assam Laksa - World's Best Dish at Number 7

CNN voted Assam Laksa as the top number 7 of the World's 50 most delicious foods.  Wow.  This noodle with fish broth is really an excellent try on the senses.  It has an aroma, texture and taste to behold!  As CNN says:
Poached, flaked mackerel, tamarind, chili, mint, lemongrass, onion, pineapple … one of Malaysia’s most popular dishes is an addictive spicy-sour fish broth with noodles (especially great when fused with ginger), that’ll have your nose running before the spoon even hits your lips.

You can find this quote by CNN (21st July 2011) at: World's 50 most delicious foods.

This dish is native to Penang.  For a detailed walk through on the recipe, go by rasa malaysia at this link for more pictures and information Assam Laksa recipe
