For those of you wondering what laksa is, its just a variety of herbs that made up this wonderful gift from heaven! Katong Laksa uses its special cooking methods which brings out the condense taste of the soup. the rice nooldes are cut up into little pieces which absorbs the flavours from the soup. Remember, the locals eat with only... More

Have always loved the laksa here, and I have been visiting the stall for more than 10 years. Glad to say the standard has not changed, and the food still comes as fast. Tip: Put lots of chilli for the extra punch if you can take the spiciness.

i got to know Katong Laksa after my Singaporean friend took me there and told me it was the best laksa in town. I fell in love with the taste from that very first moment. I love when they add seafood in my laksa, makes it even better. I would make a small change though- give me a little less... More

Katong Laksa has been around for a while, and surprisingly, hasn't lost it's flavour or taste due to time or customer spend. I live on the other side of the island, so I try to make it as often as I can for my laksa fix.

you'd never know which is the original katong laksa these days. but if you find and see one, try it, it should taste relatively ok for most first timers.

The laksa tasted bland and was just mostly coconut milk. It lacked the herbs and other condiments that make up a good laksa. If you are looking for a good bowl of katong laksa, go to Queensway mall instead.

You'll never know which store is the original Katong Laksa. The gravy (without mixing the chilli in) is a godsend for those who can't take much spice. A must have if you are a tourist on a food hunt in the joo chiat area.

Seriously, I have no idea what the big fuss about this curry, the ingredients are much less than standard curry and you only have the choice of thick rice noodle. I would consider the dish itself over rating, I have tasted better laksa at a hawker centre at Circuit road. What made it worse is that there are actually 3... More
