In the center lane of Ghim Moh Hawker, next to the fabled char kway teow lies the humble $2 Laksa.

In essence this was Katong’s little sister. Similar attributes but not quite there yet. It was light but comforting, familiar but you know its not the same. However, this didn’t stop me from buying and enjoying it tremendously. However, as I looked at all the familiar ceramic empty bowls surrounding me, I figured i’m not the only one that reached that conclusion.
