Conditions apply though: 1) The stall shouldn&#8217;t be too far away from my home, e.g. Tuas, 2) The rating is based on my preference. Hee hee :)<\/p>\n<p>The laksa stall\u00a0I&#8217;m blogging about today claimed to be the original Katong laksa. It has re-located to Bedok North already. I read about this stall on a local\u00a0food blog and decided to give it a shot. This stall was mend by an uncle and another helper uncle (who brings you the laksa). It is situated in an old coffee shop of a HDB block which behind the Bedok Stadium\u00a0and beside the SPC petrol kiosk. The stall name says &#8216;Marine Parade Laksa&#8217;\u00a0in English\u00a0but &#8216;Katong laksa&#8217; in Mandarin.<\/p>\n<p>When I ordered a bowl of $3 laksa, I noticed that chopsticks were given. Hey, I though Katong laksa is well known for using only the soup spoon to eat from? Hmm, never mind. The laksa was served in the old-fashioned Chinese soup bowl with fresh laksa leaves garnishing. At first glance, the soup looked less milky and not as thick and viscous as 328 laksa. Hmm, okay. Now the taste. This soup has more complexity than 328&#8217;s.\u00a0Good recipe.\u00a0I continued slurping at the thick rice noodles and drinking the soup. Ah, it is homely and satisfying without the guilty notion that one is consuming\u00a0too much unhealthy coconut milk. However, if\u00a0you want the kick, then 328 will deliver it right to your face.<\/p>\n<p>Next stop, the laksa at Roxy Square. :P<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1521\" title=\"blog-laksa-p1000445\" src=\"https:\/\/chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/blog-laksa-p1000445.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m quite determined to look for the best laksa in Singapore.
