Cannot judge on its authenticity as a Sarawak Laksa. But it tasted better as compared to other Sarawak Laksa stalls I tasted, including the two famous ones in Bedok. The laksa broth was quite fragrant, with hints of aromatic spices. It did not have a particularly overpowering curry taste, which was just nice and did not outshine the dish. Serving was decent, with a few fresh prawns, shredded chicken, egg and bean sprouts. Adding lime and sambal belacan to the broth added another dimension to the dish.
View on GoogleThis is the famous Sarawak Laksa that alot of locals queue up to have. It is started by a former SIA steward and operates out of Toa Payoh neighbourhood coffee shop. For ordering, simply queue till your turn at the counter, tell them for item numbers and pay the amount, get a queue beeper that que you when your order is ready. For my order, i ordered the large prawn laksa and, also, the special laksa. The bowl of laksa has a nice aromatic laksa flavour and comes with prawns, shredded chicken, bean sprouts, thin slices of tau pok. For the large prawn, it is nicely cut but still need some de-shelling. The special laksa should be good enough. The shredded chicken is nicer if it is softer and juicer. Good to have a go at it.
View on GoogleIm a Sarawak laksa lover. Been around Singapore from Jurong to Bedok to look for yummy ones. So happy to find out about this plc, in my neighbourhood so must try! I opted for normal/smallest (they have "special" & "Jumbo prawn"). I love the prawns, the sambal and the gravy, though i feel it maybe slightly salty. As compared to other Sarawak laksa stalls, the price is about 20% higher. Nevertheless, I will definitely come back again.
View on GoogleThe broth has the Sarawak laksa aromatic taste, but the bee hoon is slightly thicker. Disappointment was the kiaw we ordered was un-cooked and the staff does not take this hygienic issue seriously when we informed her. Overall, still worth a shot to satisfy the craving while we can’t travel.
View on GoogleNot entirely sure if worth the hype, the soup is good but noodles are not the right kind, thicker than usual. Does not absorb the flavours in too well. Prawns are pretty fresh and "crunchy". Unfortunately they do not carry Kolo Mee as well like other shops that offer Sarawak Laksa, but just a personal preference.
