Hunting for food at 10pm in the tanjong katong / joo chiat area isn't that difficult and if you're lucky you can catch 328 katong laksa just before it closes... Not too sure whats the exact time it closes but we managed to get ourselves a bowl at around 2220! The laksa sizes come in S/M/L which are $4.50, $5.50 and $6.50. If you're hungry we recommend going for a M or a L because a small isnt that much, really.This is a $5.50 bowl of laksa, a bit on the pricey side given that its (literally!) st
This is a $5.50 bowl of laksa, a bit on the pricey side given that its (literally!) streetside food. The noodles are cut, so it's perfect to eat with just a spoon. The gravy isn't too spicy nor is it too rich so you can really slurp it down. There is a generous serving of prawns, fishcake and cockles (COCKLES ARE A MUST. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR). The laksa leaves alleviates the aroma of the laksa and every mouthful is addictive. I understand why some people would say that this laksa is overrated/doesn't live up to its hype. It doesn't have an extraordinary factor like the Sungei Road Trishaw Laksa @ Chinatown; but it's still...just..so..good.
I think it has something to do with the grumpy servers, the general lack of cleanliness, roadside-stall feel, the bowl of laksa that is your classic idea of a hearty laksa that you've worked so hard at the gym for. The laksa that you tell yourself You deserve this, before digging in. If you haven't already tried 328 Katong laksa, you should. It's even better on a quiet night for supper with friends.
