Katong Laksa

"A rich, spicy coconut milk broth filled with thick vermicelli, prawns, cockles, and fishcake. In the Katong style, the noodles are cut short so you can eat the whole thing with just a spoon—no chopsticks required!"

La Historia

A product of Peranakan culture, Laksa blends Chinese ingredients with Malay spices and coconut milk. The Katong style originated in the Joo Chiat area and sparked the famous 'Laksa Wars' between rival stalls.

Secreto Local

"328 Katong Laksa is the celebrity spot, but Janggut Laksa is considered by many locals to be the original recipe. It's a bit more herbal and less heavy on the grease. Try both if you have the stomach space!"
