31 Sungei Road Laksa

Nothing beats a bowl of smooth thick spicy Laksa in hot sunny Singapore! And you can find the perfect bowl here at Sungei Road, Singapore! It is not famously acclaimed for no reasons and when you try it, you will know...

There has been many Laksa stalls found in Singapore claiming to be either the best Sungei Road or Katong Laksa. These 2 are supposedly the best Laksas in Singapore so many use that name to pose as the stall hoping to draw crowds. The original Sungei Road Laksa is in fact located at the Jalan Besar area, at Kelantan Lane within Seng Chuan Eating House. It is a coffeeshop that not many may find it unless you make an effort or perhaps while visiting the infamous "Sungei Road Second Hand Market"... The eating house is opposite a bike shop and those bikers who visit the "Lim Ah Boy Motorcycle Servicing Shop" will probably know where this Laksa stall is!

My opinion on the Laksa there is that its darn good! The coconut milk blends so nicely with the Laksa curry and spices. Its not too thick but just enough to bring out the taste. Very nicely done. Served with the cockles, fishcake and some bean sprouts, the dish is perfect!! Moreover, its served at a reasonable price of $2, $2.50 or $3 so its really a great deal. Maybe the only thing is that I wish there were more and bigger cockles in it.

Sometimes I wonder if there is a standard recipe that they use for the concoction of the Laksa because each time, I visit the place, the standard never falters and I wonder how they do it! The stall also serves a fantastic Mackerel otak (@ S$1) to go along with the Laksa so its great for spicy lovers as you don't just get Laksa served there (as if you dont have enough of the spices)! Well, but even for non-spicy lovers like me, I also found it hard to resist the delicious Laksa and Mackerel otak there. And I was definitely one pleased satisfied customer!!! Will be back for sure again.

Sungei Road Laksa is at Blk 31 Kelantan Lane, #01-12 Seng Chuan Eating House, Singapore. Opening hours 9am - 6pm. Closed on first Wednesday of the month.
