jackomaki Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 have you tried the one at yishun? At the back of the bus interchange there's one little shop next to a dessert shop. They sell out everyday though haha Quote Cooking is my passion. Music is my life. Reading is my sanity. Bitching about you keeps me happy.

SoSonni Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I've only had one type of laksa and that is Katong Laksa. It's a few bus stops away from my house and I love it every time. Except those watchamacallit bloody shell things. Quote Instagram | @sodamnsonniTwitter | @sosonni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enelym1978 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Oh the lala? The one near Roxy mall? Never been as far as Yishun lol. Sold out means going there around 7pm might be useless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmv85 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 laksa for dinner.. there's a 328 katong laksa at queensway shopping centre. i'm not sure if it's open for dinner but i think so?328 across roxy sq definitely stays open during dinner though. then there's the claypot laksa at alexandra village hawker centre which unfortunately isn't open during dinner hours. if u're into a different kind of laksa there's an awesome penang laksa just a couple mins walk from aljunied mrt. open for dinner.

jackomaki Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 haha laksa tend to be sold out quite quickly in most places, since it's a childhood food for most and a unique food for foreigners to want to try Quote Cooking is my passion.

Baloo Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 The benchmark laksa is the one at Jalan berseh - sungei road laksa. Try it first. And then try the others. Better or not as good then stems from this benchmark. Laksa is a daytime food. Not suited for night consumption. Of course demand will create supply. But most people know to have it for lunch or tea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enelym1978 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Thank you all I did try the 328 Katong and the one in Holland V. Prefer Katong one cuz more coconut-y and less spicy haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's the correct stall but it has clippings of reviews and the signboard reads 'Sungei Road Laksa'.The soup wasn't too salty.It was reddish because of the chilli.No chopsticks, only spoon, ordered extra cockles.

Baloo Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Block 31 is the WRONG one... Look carefully... this stall is using GAS FIRE... not charcoal fire.. this stall used to be the original one but it moved to block 27.and the next tenant sell laksa to capitalise on unsuspecting customers... I was taken in too for a few times and was wondering how come standard dropped... it's a different stall! This one advertises who to call? meaning he caters? the original one is an old man... helped by his daughters. day time ONLY. make sure try the one at block 27. you can't miss it.

Rhyn Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 I personally don't order laksa in Singapore- not that I like or dislike it, but it's not at the top of the list unless it's something special. I didn't think too much about it but when my friend from Penang said that Singapore's laksa is just curry noodle, I laughed and thought that he's kinda right. When you look at the individual ingredients between curry and Singapore's laksa, they're almost identical- save for the herbs. Chicken broth, garlic, ginger, and most importantly, coconut milk, are always necessary to make the laksa. On the other hand, Peranakan Laksa, also known as Assam Laksa, is completely different; the soup is sweet and sour, made using fish-based ingredients. Personally speaking, I would pick Assam Laksa over Singapore's Laksa any day. The flavours are distinct enough from curry that I enjoy the different flavours. My grandma's from Penang and she makes the best Assam Laksa I've ever tasted, even matching Penang's best options. However, while Singapore laksa can easily pass for $3-4 per bowl, the amount of effort and the price of ingredients for Assam Laksa will drive the minimum cost to $5-7.50 per bowl, and honestly, not many people will pay for something so different and at a higher entry to a bowl of noodles that isn't familiar to our usual tastebuds. 1potato2potato 1 Quote Tech Reviewer on Rhyn Reviews and YouTube: https://youtube.com/rhynreviews.

Guest Laki Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 We are central between Chinatown and bukit merah have a local fav laksa that we don't want others to know. The soup is much more flavorful that katong laksa and all the others pale in comparison. Katong laksa is just social media hype compared to ours. So I'm NOT disclosing where it is. The big clue is that you can choose with plenty of hum for $5. The queue is not long but the old man very slow so we don't want more people to know to make it worse.

Then what's the point of your post? We're here to share recommendations, not play games. It is hard to beat 928 Yishun especially with the prices, thats why the queue so long even on weekdays. Am also am a big fan of the claypot laksa in Depot Road, quite interesting. Not for every day but the lobster laksa at Chatterbox is an indulgent treat.
