LAKSA

Published by Denise

This week, it’s all about the lovely, lemak LAKSA! Where, in your opinion, is the best to be found in Singapore?

Depot Road Zhen Shan Mei Claypot Laksa Block 120 Bukit Merah Lane 1#01-75, Alexandra Village Food Centre Open Tuesday – Sunday: 8.30am-3pm

The Depot Rd laksa moved to Alexandra Village hawker ctr many yrs; it’s along the side facing the back of the DBS bank. BTW, the claypot laksa stall at Food Republic@VivoCity is just as good, but more expensive. Enjoy! Yummy King

Depot rd laksa shifted to depot mall 2nd floor.

Alex Village is the real deal, ‘cos they appeared just after the Depot Rd one closed. Also, they have all the reviews pasted at their stall. The owner’s children r running the show, maybe they’ve opened at Depot Mall? I’ve not chked Depot Mall. Yummy King

Apparently, the original Depot Road Claypot laksa may be closed now, but there are several stalls (as usual) claiming to be the real deal at Telok Blangah, Killiney Road, Vivocity and even BUKIT MERAH CENTRAL BLK 161, behind BM library.

49 katong laksa. With crazy good laksa gravy. Perfect concentrations of coconut milk. Faces fierce competition with another laksa store beside. Both shops are the best i’ve ever tasted in s’pore. But 49 is just slightly better Due to some secret. Jonathan

BUKIT PANJANG BANQUET has the best laksa stall that i know,mouth drooling laksa ‘kuah’,will make you go berserk wanting for second round.the dish is served wth plenty of sliced fish cake n ooooh i almost forgot the sambal paste is simply irresistable couple with great ambience n its cheap too.

Try going 2 Blk 128 Bedok North St 2 coffee shop n try d laksa there. D stall is called Katong Laksa, d original laksa since 1950 (also known as p Marine Parade laksa). There r many stalls claiming 2 b authentic but dis 1 will blow ur head off. D gravy is simply yummy n very lemak n d chilly is damn shiok. Bring tissue papers or a towel along. If not u will regret Frederick Cham

stall at hong lim food ctr 1st flr. Its a chicken curry laksa. Not thick but moderate curry that comes with easy chewed chicken meat, sliced pork skin, soft taopok n all can dipped into the sweet n spicy chillies. The taste that no words in the dictionary can describe. I hv patronise the stall since 1982. No change in taste, ingredients n quantity n the way the stall owner prepare the food. I’m karen.
