Legendary Sungei Road Laksa in Singapore
Spread The Viralist



Sungei Road Laksa is one of the most legendary laksa stalls in Singapore. Get more info here: http://migrationology.com/2016/01/singapore-food/

Laksa is a dish that combines the tastes and flavors of both Malay and Chinese, and one of the most famous places to eat laksa in Singapore is at Sungei Road Laksa, a small yet busy stall that’s housed within a neighborhood style coffee food court shop. As soon as the stall is open, they have a line of customers, and if you come at a peak meal time or on the weekend, there could easily be 20 or even 50 people in line in front of you. Luckily, we came in the middle of the morning, so it was pretty quiet and there were just a few people in line in front of me.

One of the best things about Sungei Road Laksa in Singapore is that they still cook their curry soup sauce over charcoal in a big aluminum pot, the traditional way. You stand in line, and they don’t have any choice other than how many bowls of laksa you want. The bowls are quite small, so if you’re really hungry, you could easily eat 3 – 4 bowls or so. The laksa is a Chinese style version, with a thin and not very spicy broth, and sliced up noodles, and all topped with a handful of fresh blood cockles, and I think Vietnamese coriander – which is the flavor that I really liked.

The laksa was smooth and comforting, not spicy, and not too much spices, but a soothing blend. To me it almost tasted like clam chowder, yet it was prepared with cockles, so it was like noodle cockle chowder. They also added a small amount of smabal chili sauce to the side of my bowl to mix in, which provided a bit of extra flavor to the laksa.

Overall I enjoyed my bowl of noodles at Sungei Road Laksa, and it made a wonderful quick breakfast.

  1. Laksa was my last meal for lunch when I was in Singapore last November during my travel tour. That noodle is called "Lai Fun" similar to spaghetti pasta made out of egg flour. "Lai Fun" is made out of rice flour.

  2. my father brought my family there twice! he claims to have started eating at this stall even before it was in this coffee shop, back when it was sold on the streets (they were illegal hawkers). he’s 5 years older than singapore itself and he used to live in the lavender area, which was probably how he got to know this stall.

    i wonder if you have tried katong laksa. my father brought my family to eat 328 katong laksa during vesak day this year.
