Assam laksa
Assam laksa is a sour fish-based soup. Asam is the Malay word for sour, but it is often used as an abbreviation for asam jawa or tamarind, which is commonly used to give the stock its sour flavor. Modern Malay spelling is asam, though the spelling assam is still freuently used.
I think it probably has nothing to do with Assam in northeast india
