The food court (Urban Hawker) is immensely popular, so it’s difficult to get a table on a Friday night - we therefore decided to do a takeaway. As a result, the laksa was no longer piping hot when we reached our hotel. We are Singaporean so are more demanding when it comes to our local food. On first taste, have to say the laksa was quite disappointing. But some pro tips for you (if you would like a more authentic laksa experience): 1. Ask that they don’t add the cucumber & lemon - that’s not typical of Singaporean laksa 2. If you can take the heat, ask to load up on the sambal chilli (the laksa has been watered down presumably to better suit the ‘Western taste’ 3. Have it hot & fresh at the food court - otherwise microwave to heat up if you do takeaway 4. Add $3 for the shrimps - the ones we had (4 pieces) were generously sized & fresh - definitely worth the add if you are a crustacean fan! Bought 2 sides as well. Love the meatballs (ngoh hiang), deep fried bean curd skin wrapped around succulent, well seasoned meat. The fried chicken chunks were nicely marinated & right level of done-ness (not deep fried to death like how some lesser cook might have done), still tender & reasonably juicy. The sides are about $5 each, not very cheap. But tasted good.
