The search goes on

Posted on    by

I’m quite determined to look for the best laksa in Singapore. Conditions apply though: 1) The stall shouldn’t be too far away from my home, e.g. Tuas, 2) The rating is based on my preference. Hee hee :)

The laksa stall I’m blogging about today claimed to be the original Katong laksa. It has re-located to Bedok North already. I read about this stall on a local food blog and decided to give it a shot. This stall was mend by an uncle and another helper uncle (who brings you the laksa). It is situated in an old coffee shop of a HDB block which behind the Bedok Stadium and beside the SPC petrol kiosk. The stall name says ‘Marine Parade Laksa’ in English but ‘Katong laksa’ in Mandarin.

When I ordered a bowl of $3 laksa, I noticed that chopsticks were given. Hey, I though Katong laksa is well known for using only the soup spoon to eat from? Hmm, never mind. The laksa was served in the old-fashioned Chinese soup bowl with fresh laksa leaves garnishing. At first glance, the soup looked less milky and not as thick and viscous as 328 laksa. Hmm, okay. Now the taste. This soup has more complexity than 328’s. Good recipe. I continued slurping at the thick rice noodles and drinking the soup. Ah, it is homely and satisfying without the guilty notion that one is consuming too much unhealthy coconut milk. However, if you want the kick, then 328 will deliver it right to your face.

Next stop, the laksa at Roxy Square. :P

  1. I’m glad I happened upon this entry during my lunch hour (eating carry-out Thai food) or I’d have gone nuts starving. I can think of no other culinary pursuit more true to my heart than the mission of finding the perfect laksa!

  2. I tried this laksa last night bud, but didn’t think it was fantastic. Katong laksa’s still the best! :)

  3. Matt, Yang was referring to the 328 Katong Laksa.

    The one I reviewed above claimed to be the original Katong laksa. :)

    In any case, this could be one place to check out on your next visit if you’re keen :)

  4. Absolutely, Ling. It’s already on my itinerary. :) Frankly, though, I wonder who isn’t claiming they’re the original Katong laksa. If I opened a laksa joint, I’d differentiate myself by proclaiming I’m not the original Katong laksa, but I only steal from the best.

  7. katong laksa katong laksa!!!!! i like to add in the otah hehehe… v nice… sheesh, gotta go jogging le la. oh, katong laksa uses real coconut milk right? not fresh milk hor? from china?? *shudder*

  8. Confirm plus guarentee chop: it’s coconut milk alright. I can tell the difference between the two. They are worlds apart!
