There are steamboats aplenty in Singapore but not many make the cut to be that one hot, steamy and soupy delight that we would fantasize about on a rainy day. But I think I found one potential candidate with King's Laksa Steamboat.Nestled amidst the row of eateries at Teck Chye Terrace, a little further afield from Serangoon Nex, King's Laksa Steamboat lets diners pick 2 soup bases and their choice of mixed ingredients - vegetables, seafood, meat and yong tau foo among some, all for a fixed pric
Nestled amidst the row of eateries at Teck Chye Terrace, a little further afield from Serangoon Nex, King's Laksa Steamboat lets diners pick 2 soup bases and their choice of mixed ingredients - vegetables, seafood, meat and yong tau foo among some, all for a fixed price of $19++ per pax. It's an all-you-can-eat bonanza for the bigger eaters, who can take their pick from the variety of ingredients available for as many times as they want!
Our choice of soup bases was the herbal soup and the signature soup that gave the restaurant its namesake - laksa. While the herbal soup tasted light and nourishing on the palette, the latter was the yin to its yang, an intense spicy broth guaranteed to raise the temperature a couple of notches and an absolute pleasure on a rainy day.
Same soup - different angle. Always thought it looks like the Taiji symbol
Fresh seafoods and meats.If you happen to be too hungry or impatient waiting, the cooked finger foods come highly recommended.
The fried buns were just missing a chilli crab sauce dip for perfection, fried a crispy golden-brown on the outside and yet soft, white and fluffy on the inside. Nothing much would go wrong for a couple of fried chicken wings, but those at King's Laksa Restaurant are so finger-lickin' good I can actually see myself revisiting just for the chicken wings alone.
My last finger food was Fried Beancurd, fried to a crisp on the outside, while retaining a soft, juicy centre. The contrast in texture was accentuated by the sweet thai chilli drizzled generously over the slices.Definitely a thumbs up from me for King's Laksa Steamboat. I wonder how the fried buns would taste dripped into the laksa broth...
