Malaysia, July 26, 2011 - ALTHOUGH Penangites love to eat assam laksa, they are too lazy to learn and cook the dish, reported China Press.
It said because of the arduous preparation, which could take up to three hours, Penangites would rather enjoy the state's famed dish at hawker stalls.
A CNN International food survey had ranked Penang assam laksa as one of the dishes worth traversing the world for.
Under its CNNGo guide to lifestyle, shopping, hotels and restaurants, the popular dish was ranked seventh among the world's 50 most delicious food.
