The Original Katong Laksa - Janggut Laksa (Upper Paya Lebar)

Googled where to eat near Bartley and this came up! It was quite a controversy as to who was the first Katong Laksa.. as it turns out Janggut Laksa is the first. Drama aside. I quite enjoyed this bowl of Crayfish Laksa, although not cheap at $9.50 but the fresh crayfish was worth the buck! The crayfish meat can be easily peeled from the shell, attest to the fact that it is fresh. What makes a good bowl of laksa is the gravy. The gravy here is creamy and not that spicy which suits my palate really well. Can taste the umami from the prawns in it as well! Will be back!

Rich gravy and super yummy! But can be more generous with the portion... Expected more for a large bowl.

Not too spicy and pretty mild for laksa. Love the hum here really fresh with a clean finish. The soup here is more cloudy than usual also because they use fresh coconut milk

The broth was pretty good especially when I grew up eating the one from Queensway. They were pretty similar except this was slightly less spicy! Pretty generous amount of the prawns as well, can do with or without crayfish though. I went for it as I was in the "treat yoself" mood.

CRAYFISH LAKSA.

they ran out of bread. so the girl took things into her own hands. and the result is in picture number two. preferred the laksa to the chicken curry. fragrant and the chilli was spicy sweet. broth was not overly rich. learnt a new way of eating the laksa. eat with the chilli but not mixing it in. chicken curry was alright. definitely more gao than toast box's.

5 per pax.
