Mary’s Corner

Although more well-known for their Tau Kwa Pau, a Teochew Nyonya dish that combines soft firm tofu encased in a crispy shell with fish strips, yam, egg, crunchy cucumber, and five-spiced fish cake, the laksa here is a hidden gem that hasn’t changed its taste through the years. Fresh and rich with aromatic spices and dried shrimp, the laksa here looks a lot more fiery and comes with sweet prawns, taupok and fishcakes.

Opening hours: Monday – Sunday: 8.30am – 9pm
