This famous laksa stall is rumored to be one of the original Katong laksa stalls started in the 60s at the Roxy Theatre along East Coast Road. This stall relocated to the current location since late 70s.There are the options of $4 or $5 portion available. The pricing is definitely on the high side but it would still be worth it if the food and service are good. I ordered the $4 portion and it came with 3 pieces of half-medium sized prawns and a few slices of fish cake and no cockles. It served
There are the options of $4 or $5 portion available. The pricing is definitely on the high side but it would still be worth it if the food and service are good. I ordered the $4 portion and it came with 3 pieces of half-medium sized prawns and a few slices of fish cake and no cockles. It served with a pinch of chopped laksa leaves and a spoonful of chilli aside. The gravy was infused with an enormous amount of coconut taste hence it tasted rather aromatic with a tinge of lemongrass. The spiciness level is just right but somehow, the oomph factor is lacking to make this experience a memorable one.
Anyway, my first impression of this bowl of laksa was a discounted one. I never really like to have my food served in the disposable wares. No matter how good the food is but by serving it in such a manner, the taste is going to be compromised. It got me to wonder a little why did they served mines in a disposable bowl when they served others in an usual plastic bowl? There were stacks of dirty plastic bowls awaiting to be washed spotted at their stall. Perhaps they were running out of plastic bowl then? Or, perhaps i ordered a $4 portion hence served in a disposable bowl? Anyway, since we paid good money then we deserved to be served properly.
Thus, the hunt for a good laksa is still on.
