Janggut Laksa @ Queensway shopping centre. Must eat with their otah This is my favourite even though i lives in Yishun

@streen2000 7 ай бұрын

Had a think after my first comment. As much as i love laksa and tried most of the famous ones out there, the only one that really blew my socks off was Zhen Shan Mei at Depot Road. This was during my NS days many moons ago though. Went back to try it again a few years ago after they moved and it just... Wasn't the same. Have eaten many bowls of good laksa since those ZSM days but can't seem to get that BIEH experience again. Thanks for making this man. Hope through this series i can find success at last

You will be surprised that good old laksa broth doesn't use prawn broth as base. It's the quality concoction of rempah in it that makes the difference.

1. Suppliers do sell frozen prawn heads/shell wholesale. No prawn doesn't necessarily mean no prawn heads/shell 2. Crabsticks are not made from 100% flour and dye. It is made with surimi (fish paste) and fillers depending on its recipe. 3. Characteristics of laksa (thick white vermicilli) noodles and why it is being used in dishes like laksa and beef noodles is because it doesn't absorb much moisture from the gravy. The gravy and the noodle stays the same consistency from start to end of the meal. Also the laksa noodles comes already fully cooked and gelatanised in the packaging. There is no need to boil the noodles before being able to use it. It can be used after reheating gently. It is suitable for laksa stalls which do not need to have a boiling pot of water maintained at 100C to cook noodles like ba chor mee stalls. This one takes up a lot of $$$$ in gas usage.

@waterlily43 7 ай бұрын

YES!! You completely voiced out my main grouse about chu mifen. It's such a substandard noodle. I hate it in laksa, hate it with fish soup. But I suspect that's because the chu mifen that hawkers use in sg is made from low quality rice flour. If you get it from somewhere that uses freshly milled rice flour/water it'll probably be much better but way more expensive.

I am a food lover and I travel for food everywhere in Singapore. I am not going to gatekeep this place anymore but the best Laksa I have ever eaten in Singapore is at Bedok South 58 Market - Amy's Laksa. Try ordering their noodle with Thin Bee Hoon and it's super good. Only Bedok Locals know about that stall.

Toa Payoh 94 laksa, btw, Yishun 928 laksa kicks more punch 25 yrs ago when they first started, the soup actually mellow down as the owners age, back then the soup has so much dry shrimp tat it’s actually chilli hay bee soup

Imitation crab meat is made from processed fish paste. Crab flavouring and food colouring are also added for taste and impact. Hawkers often add it to replace ingredients that cost more so that customers feel like they are getting at least something for what pay for.

The comments on Yishun’s 928 laksa are really all spot on! As an Yishun resident it’s a decent bowl although there are better ones out there. Looking forward to this series! Would be great if you could try the Katong Laksas along the East Coast eg 328 Katong Laksa, Janggut Laksa, Katong Laksa (George's). Also the well known ones like Sungei road laksa, zhen Shan mei claypot laksa.

328 is yucks, only for tourists who know about laksa from foreign KZbinrs. Laksa served with sealed packet chilli sauce.....yucks, like instant noodles.

Perhaps the thick rice noodle slander is justified.

@nicholasneo3095 7 ай бұрын

Yah please switch over to this, the thick rice noodle is too slippery and has the least surface area for the gravy to cling onto + lacking in texture. Its a personal preference but I think BeeHoon Mee offers the best balance and OG way to do it.

@ronkoo2198 7 ай бұрын

Agreed, traditionally only thin beehoon mee, no prawn, very important is the taupo must be cook until very soft, broth cannot be too thick otherwise feel sick after few mouths. To me 928 and 94 Toa Payoh fulfilled the above 2 criteria.

I'm sorry but laksa and thick bee Hoon is still the undisputed best match for me. Hope along the way when you try the other laksas you'll be convinced why. Also, while sambal does play a part on enhancing the flavor, the best laksas need no sambal to make you want to keep going back for more. Other than 328 and janggut, i will definitely recommend Guang Fa Laksa at Havelock. You have to give this some airtime

Hi Alderic, I am a straight man. Everytime i see you, it's strikingly how perfectly you encapsulate the standard-issue singaporean millenial guy archtype. You like your hawker food, and you have strong opinions about it. When you need an unoffensive comforting bgm, you use kerning city. When trying to express the concept of synergy/partnership, you make a wargreymon+metalgarurumon / hinata+kageyama reference. You cannot bring yourself to do the gen z broccoli hair, but you try to move past a mono-uniqlo wardrobe. You dont cover your sg accent with some fake affectation, but you will pronounce gelato/tonkotsu the proper native way. AND YOU ARE SO LOVABLE AND RELATABLE AND ENDEARING WHILE BEING THE WAY YOU ARE Thank you for demonstrating that the stock-standard sg millennial guy can be weirdly compelling and attractive. I say again hor -- i am straight. Thank you. (Call me)

Personal Take:: Thick Bee Hoon is at it's best when it's the dried packet, rehydrated version, NOT the fresh one, it's more al dente, and because it's rehydrated during cooking, it absorbs WAY more flavor from whatever it's served with than it's fresh bee hoon varient.

But Singapore/katong laksa is a thing that is distinct and on its own, isn't it? As a Malaysian I've always thought of it that way - taste-wise too, since I love Singapore laksa like I love curry laksa, nyonya laksa, curry mee, etc, but the lines are never blurred. Will leave it to my Melaka compatriates since I rarely visit.

@@Alderic. I think there is one distinction. Katong laksa uses dried and chopped katong leaves. If any nyonya/curry laksa uses it, it's always fresh laksa leaves, so there is definitely a difference in taste.
