Singapore's MOST POPULAR Laksa, 328 Katong Laksa! Is it Really the Best?

[@Afterthoughtsg]

so happy that you tried our local food! I love Japanese food too!

[@AWAW23230]

There are so many good stuffs in Singapore. Hope to visit again!

[@LWC8]

You should try the Ondeh Ondeh at Kim Choo... I swear it is the best in SIngapore, with bits of gula melaka bursting out of the coconut-coated mochi! My favourite Kim Choo dumpling is not the nyonya one which you ate but the hokkien one with salted egg. Try that next time!

[@azrikhairol4941]

One day i will visit Katong. Thanks for the vid. Cheers from Brunei

[@alexsolosm]

No second thoughts about adding the chilli. Good job! The Yishun Laksa that you had is one of my favourite ones too.

You should go try Sungei Road Laksa. That's a dark horse for one of the simplest and yet, best. It has the most old school taste and feel. 27 Jln Berseh, #01-100, Singapore 200027

[@TheLostOjisan]

I will visit for sure! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@reveirg9]

@@TheLostOjisan Locals actually more or less agree that Sungei Road Laksa is better, 328 is more famous because it won the Gordan Ramsay challenge. 328 was really good like 20 years ago, they didn't cut on the ingredients. After the challenge they kinda reduced the ingredients but increased the price. The soup is also not as flavorful as it used to be.

[@tankenneth9915]

Agree. Best laksa in Singapore it is.👍

[@lithong1200]

Agree too! My favourite laska stall. Sungei Road Laksa still cooks their laska gravy over charcoal.

[@keffinsg]

I beg to differ. Sungei Rd Laksa is HORRID. It is watery and flavourless. I went to check it out because of all the online recommendations and was totally disappointed.

[@ryanchan3722]

You should try the laksa at queensway shopping centre, the best laksa i've had in my opinion. There is another 328 laksa outlet in the same mall, but the laksa stall adjacent to that is definitely better.

[@limray9239]

928 laksa beat 328 laksa by many miles. 928-328= 600 miles apart.

Keep doing you Ghib! You're awesome

[@jenlee5813]

bak chang (rice dumplings) have different types the one you had that is sweet is the nyonya type. there is the original one which is a little salty . then there is bean filled and a empty (no fillings) which mostly pple like to dip it in sugar. the stall you went to is a famous stall. a little pricey thgh.

[@etvirgo]

I’m craving for laksa now 😋

[@st-cl4wr]

良いペアーだ、一生の友達だねえ。

[@bbtan]

Glad to see you try the laksa in Katong. Its pretty hard to taste the seafood for Singapore Laksa, the malaysian Asam laksa which is sour and not coconut based would be a better seafood aroma dish i reckon. Further up east coast road there's Ampang Niang Tou Fu for something traditional which you could try next time.

[@seriousyrius7334]

You can tell it's a good laksa when the diner almost finish the soup before the noodles, it's all about the soup. Btw i saw your pasir ris vlog in your main channel. I will like to recommend 2 food dishes (Chicken rice and handmade noodles) located in a small coffee shop around the HDB area. They close by 3pm to 4pm so you have to get there earlier if you want to try it. When you order chicken rice, remember to self-serve your soup and for handmade noodles, order U-main. The noodle is famous for its soup and ingredients. The address is: 440 Pasir Ris Drive 4, #01-13, Singapore 510440

[@ignatiuschua5268]

In Singapore, you gotta check out frog porridge in Geylang. Delicious and unique!

[@RiCaRdS0n]

you should try queensway shopping centre Janggut Laksa

[@russellng7730]

Theres a reason why laksa stalls dun provide chopsticks.. so that the vermicelli can be eaten together with the broth when using just the spoon.. that's also why the vermicelli is cut into small pcs..

[@WeilunHuang]

I personally prefer Janggut Laksa that's located just opposite from this place. Maybe give it a try in the future!

[@TheLostOjisan]

Ah I did not know that. I will try it next time for sure!

[@gregorious123]

Yes, jangut is delicious as they use fresh coconut husk and milk. Doesn't taste fishy but my favourite laksa in Singapore. Plus their chili is lovely to mix in

[@alexsolosm]

FYI, traditionally, laksa were just eaten with just spoons in the olden days. This shop got maintained that tradition by cutting the noodles to shorter pieces.

[@rogerio4435]

You can try another Laska stall inside Roxy Square aircon foodcourt right across the road...the Malay Stall’s Nasi Padang is highly recommended too..cheap and good

[@shan2lu]

The dumpling (or bak chang) you tried is nonya dumpling which is sweet. There are many types of dumplings. Japanese may like the red beans dumpling which is also sweet. Most people like the Hokkian meat dumplings which is savory (salty flavour).

[@りーたん-e7m]

ロンガン？オタ？知らない食べ物がたくさん！紹介していただき、ありがとうございました♥ ラクサはお店によってだいぶ違うんですね。わたしは日本でしか食べたことがないのですが、麺はラーメンみたいな麺で厚揚げが入ってました。 ダンプリングは、ちまきみたいな感じですか？すごい美味しそう！！

[@sinweiy]

you can try vegetarian laksa oneday, it's another "level" of niceness

[@gothicpinkk]

Guys, the best laksa is in a tiny eatery called Cozy Corner in Coronation Plaza.

[@windsorus]

Not bakkutteh. Is chilli crab. There is one inside queensway shopping centre opposite ikea. It is also one of the original laksa along katong. Luohan is monk fruit in english. Nowadays frequently used for keto food as a sugar substitute.

Ghib, try the claypot laksa at Alexandra village. Opens only during the day so wear really thin clothes lol

[@夢のゴムタイヤ]

ラクサはココナッツミルクのコクと辛さが混ざったような味なんでしょうか。 私的にココナッツのカレーを思い出します。 そして、ジェームズくん、久しぶり☺ 元気そうで何より！

[@dontaskme2011ify]

That is my favourite laska too and these pork triangle dumplings.

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

I like Cathay Laksa in JB cos they add small fried fishballs which soaks the laksa broth... wish Katong Laksa had this fishball in their laksa

[@paecpc]

Ken somehow knows more about Singapore than James, nevertheless nice to see you guys catching up. Will go for my Katong lacksa soon. Thanks

[@vinzbeans8635]

this version of laksa @ 328 is peranakan style,a bit creamier & taste slightly different from all usual ones you can find anywhere in sg

[@Caspiretube]

There is one more laksa stall opposite this 328. It's inside the Roxy Square. It claims to be the first laksa stall in Katong.

[@boonteck8406]

Looks yummy😁

[@ixactan69]

I believe the reason why the laksa thick beehoon are cut into shorter pieces, this is so that eaters will use spoon to scope and eat. When you scope, you will get the gravy soup too, and thats where you get the complete taste of it. By the way, that shellfish inside laksa is cockles. It has a bloody taste, which really isn't something everyone may like. Kim Choo. They are one of the oldest and popular brand selling nonya bak chang and kueh. Peranakan is the ethnic group which the early Chinese from China traveled and settled down in areas like Melaka, Penang, Singapore, and marrying the natives. Nonya means the Peranakan women, Baba is the Peranakan men. Bak chang can be explained as rice dumpling, which is link to the Duanwu Festival (some called it Dragonboat Festival). That is history related to it, but long story.... 😛

[@sdqsdq6274]

you are wrong... the reason why spoon is used , because its illegal laksa push cart stores many many years back , people will squat and eat at the streets , to facilitate easy escape for the hawker , customer will eat faster , lol

[@ixactan69]

@@sdqsdq6274 oh I see I see. I was thinking too much into how the food can taste better.. haha my fault

[@alexsolosm]

@@sdqsdq6274 That is true. But the main reason is, these street hawkers dont bring tables around with them, and some of them don't even use carts, but carry their limited stuff using sticks on shoulder. So the customers have to carry the bowl in one hand to eat, and they can't use both chopsticks and spoon. Spoon is better since they can use it both to eat the noodles and drink soup. That's why the vendors cut up the noodles for them. My father used to sell noodles on the street when he was young, and he explained it to me in the past :)

Have tried this Katong Laksa,its nice But I prefer the laska at Yishun

A good but bowl of laksa can be found at sungei road laksa. Half the price but twice awesome delicious. Try it out!

[@xoxoxoifyify]

janggut laksa at Queensway Shopping Centre is the best for me. Can get their curry chicken there too.

[@maxy9996]

ラクサ食べたことないんですが どのくらいの辛さなんでしょう？？ 頼んで食べられないのは避けたくて。 チリクラブとどっちが辛いですか？

[@patstar5548]

You should try Janggut Laksa. It is run by the daughter of the original owner who set up shop in the 1950s along East Coast Road. Junggut means beard in malay and this guy had hair that grew out of a mole on his chin. He was the one who popularize katong laksa. Currently their main outlet is at Queensway Shopping Centre where his daughter is overseeing but they have an outlet at Roxy Square which is opposite that 328 Laksa where you went. 328 Laksa opened much later probably around 1970s as a competitor to Janggut Laksa and went on to open branches very near them.

[@marvinz911]

haven eaten here for years, all i can say is standard dropped drastically

[@darrche5129]

There's a good claypot frog legs porridge (at night?) at katong area if you like spicy broiled frog legs with porridge.

[@shaoweieng6923]

Nice bro. peranakan food is one of the best spicy dishes around. Recommend you to try out peranakan food dishes as their food taste best with white rice. You can google the blue ginger restaurant near tanjong pagar mrt if you want to find quality peranakan food. In the menu you have to try out buah keluak, something you will never try before in japan.. contact the restaurant to ask if buah keluak (black nut) is avaliable because it is under limit quantity. Better bring a friend along to taste more dishes Hope to see you blog it .

[@TheLostOjisan]

Thanks for the suggestion! I've heard of the restaurant but never had the opportunity to visit.

[@meesiam2759]

The original Katong Laksa is at Roxy Square.

[@christopherkiong7918]

Try Claypot laksa located at Alexandra Hawker Centre

[@MegaDerpington]

Actually the gordon ramsay challlenge was about chicken rice, laksa and chilli crab

[@tcruise77]

Yes, there are many types of laksa. Different stall makes the broth differently. Sarawak laksa would taste different too...

[@puffsora1460]

Ghib san, Peranakan means Straits-born not really just mixture of chinese and malay but also of old dutch / javanese / british cultures and food.

[@BryanCheong]

Fun fact: Otak-otak's name comes from the Malay, meaning "brains", because it is soft and プリプリ like the texture of brains. Yum!

It was real power packed laksa 20 years ago, now the price has gone up so much and the laksa soup no longer so authentic anymore, they cut back on dried shrimp which flavoured the soup distinctively and so little laksa leaves. It's banging on the tourists' dollars...sad news for our local food fare.

328 Katong Laksa has only earned it's popularity in Google : BUT YET earned it's cutlery respect from his strong competitors in other parts of Singapore .

you should really compare malay laksa (more fish base) versus chinese laksa (more coconut base)! they look similar but they are quite different in taste :) you can find malay laksa over at geylang serai market.

328 Katong Laska actually bought the recipe fron the original Laksa owner. I prefer the original Katong Laksa. It is at Roxy Square Level 1. You just need to walk though the class door beside a travel agency. The glass door is under the escalators of roxy Square

シンガポールに行くと必ず行きます ３２８が有名ですが、カトンエリアの周りの店のラクサもそんなに悪くないですよ ひどいとこのは食べ終わると胃もたれしますからね ラクサは元々屋台料理から発展したもので、作り方を見ればわかりますが、麺をゆでる鍋がないんです 器の中に麺を入れて、そこに熱いスープをかけて戻してを繰り返して麺に火を入れます 温めるだけで良い麺を使っているんで、そういう作り方ができるんです それに麺が短く切ってあるのも、屋台の名残で使い捨ての器とレンゲだけあれば食べれるようにしてるんです 旅行者にとっては、中に入ってるクラム（生剥きあさり）が半生なのでお腹壊すかと抜いてもらう人は多いようです 珠金も偶然ですが行きました デザート系のもんばっかり食べてちまきを食べてこなかったです 悔しい ここで分かったのは、ココナッツを細かく切ったの（名前忘れました）は好きじゃないってことです プラナカンのデザートあんまし好きじゃないようです〈泣〉 ジュ－チャットRDをユーノス？だったかな、方面に行く通り沿いが夜の怪しい歓楽街ですが、個々の通りに名店が多いようです 是非こちらもレポートを

You'll want to try Janggut Katong Laksa. It's just opposite this 328 outlet. It's WAYYYY better than 328. 328 is just using the name of "Katong Laksa" but it sucks. They're inconsistent. I can go 1 day and it's really bland then go the next week and it's salty af. Do give Janggut Katong laksa a try. It's the original Katong laksa that got its glory (and stall space) stolen by 328.
