928 Yishun Laksa

This small eatery located all the way in the north of Singapore may be no-frills in its appearance, but much decorated in reputation. Recognisable by its perpetual queue and various framed accolades, the stall sells really affordable laksa priced at a mere $2.50 for a small or $3 for large. Each bowl comes with cockles, beansprouts, hard boiled egg, fish cakes, taupok, topping gravy that is not oily nor overwhelmingly rich. Should you need something to cool you down from the lack of aircon, the stall right beside sells traditional icy-cold desserts to round the meal off.
Opening hours: Tuesday – Sunday: 11am – 7pm


When Joel’s not partaking in one of his shameless eating sessions, he likes to think of himself as a sponge – absorbing the mysteries and beauty of our world – be it through a good book or a wacky jaunt in a foreign country.
