Laksa is a well-known spicy noodle soup from Peranakan culture. There are two types of Laksa, which is the Curry Laksa and the Assam Laksa.
Curry Laksa is a coconut-based curry soup while Assam Laksa is a sour fish-based soup. Curry Laksa is mainly served in Singapore, especially the very famous, Katong Laksa.
Katong is an area in a Singapore. Katong Laksa serves noodles which are being cut into smaller pieces that can be eaten only using a spoon.
I have not personally gone to Katong to try their Katong Laksa. However, the version that I have tried in Queensway Shopping Centre is certainly not bad. It is very rich in coconut milk, some of us might find it ‘jelak’.
Given so many Curry Laksa that I have tried so far in Singapore, that was the best among all.

Only spoon is used, no chopsticks or fork is provided.

This uncle is definitely not one of the friendliest people I met. He actually said that he can charge me Copyrights fee for taking photos of him and his stall. At first, I thought he was just kidding, so I smiled. He gave me the straight look, and told me he is not joking with me and still insisted that he can charge me.

Each bowl of Katong Laksa costs S$3.00. One thing for sure is the prawns being served are fresh. Because I am very particular in the freshness of prawns being used in dishes. Very worth trying.
