Sungei Road Laksa 结霜桥叻沙 (Jalan Besar)

Laksa $2

Sungei Road Laksa 结霜桥叻沙 (Jalan Besar) is a famous Laksa stall located at a coffee shop in Jalan Besar. It is around 10 minutes walk away from Lavendar MRT station and is located opposite Jalan Besar Food Centre.

Unlike most laksa stalls, Sungei Road Laksa occupies a large unit of the coffee shop. It was manned by 4 persons. 1 person took the orders and collect the money, 1 person cooks the Laksa while the remaining 2 persons prepare the ingredients.

Look at how systematic they are. Everything is arranged neatly.

Interestingly, the Laksa gravy is cooked using charcoal stove. Each bowl of Laksa cost $2. The version with more ngredients cost $3. Most people would order a few bowls of the $2 version. There would typically be a long queue at this stall. When I visited recently, there was 3 persons in front.

Laksa $2

The Laksa $2 is served with thick rice noodles, beansprouts, slices fish cakes and cockles. The cost of Laksa may seems cheap, but well, to me it was not value for money. The bowl is small and the ingredients are far from generous. 

Worst of all, the laksa gravy was thin and lacking in flavour, especially the shrimp flavour. Frankly, I do not know why this is so popular. 928 Yishun Laksa tastes way nicer and at $2.80 comes with more than double the amount of ingredients.

Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee 海南福建炒虾面 (Golden Mile Food Centre)

Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles $3

Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee 海南福建炒虾面  is another popular stall at the hawker centre. It is located next to the famous chicken rice stall; Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice 海南起骨鸡饭.

As its name suggest, Hainan Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee 海南福建炒虾面  sells Hokkien Prawn Noodles.

The version here is different from elsewhere, it is dry (very dry). The owner would allow the stock to simmer till it has evaporated and the flavours are adsorbed in the yellow noodles and beehoon. He would not be able to fry too many plates at any one time as he would need to keep stirring the noodles under intense heat to prevent them from being burnt and also seal the flavours and wok hei in.

During peak period, the waiting time maybe as long as half an hour as frying the Hokkien Prawn Noodles take time.

Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles $3

This plate of Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles $3 was delicious! It well executed and fried. I have never tried such a dry verison before. It was so dry that I am sure it would have been charred if he still left them in the work. The yellow noodles and beehoon were well coated with immense flavours and smokey fragrance. It was served with slices of pork belly, squid, small prawns, sambal chilli, cut chilli and lime. A must try!
