Restoran O&S (Non-Halal)
Searching for a good bowl of Asam Laksa can be challenging here hence but Restoran O&S’ take on the dish will leave you wanting for another one. A famous spot for breakfast, Restoran O&S has been serving its patrons authentic Penang food for decades and if you see Penangites flocking a stall like this one - you know it’s legit.
Parking can be a bit of an issue but any mountain is worth a climb for a good bowl of laksa.

On the first corner you have Jamal Mohamed, home of the famous Aunty Gemuk (RIP) char kuey teow whereas Subang Ria is celebrated for their fried yong tau foo variations.
