$2 for a bowl of laksa? Try $2 for a bowl of really good laksa. One of the last few places to still use charcoal for cooking, the laksa here at Sungei Road is lighter than the usual, without sacrificing on flavour. Instead of relying on rich coconut cream, the gravy employs a combination of spices with expertise, simmering their gravy to warm perfection over the glow of charcoal. Somehow, food cooked using charcoal fire, like dumplings, have a taste different from those with a gas stove. This means you are easily able to finish one – maybe two for the guys – without feeling jelat. Its cheap price does not mean skimping on ingredients either, for our bowl arrived with a generous serving of cockles and fish cakes.
