Every Bowl
Has a Story.
Yours Starts
Hot.
Coconut milk. Prawn shells. Torch ginger. Hand-pounded rempah. The bowl your grandmother measured all others against.
Pounded. Not Blended.
Galangal, lemongrass, dried chillis, candlenut, shrimp paste. Granite mortar. Forty minutes. No shortcuts.
Six Hours. One Pot.
Prawn shells crack open in a rolling boil. Coconut milk enters last, never before. The broth earns its colour.
Every Layer Intentional.
Vermicelli first. Then broth. Prawn, quail egg, tofu puff, laksa leaf, torch ginger. Sambal on the side — or in. Your call.
Choose Your
Variant.
Three laksa styles. One kitchen. All made the same way — slowly, with unreasonable attention to the broth.
Curry Laksa
S$12.50Rich. Coconut-heavy. Unapologetic.
The classic. Coconut milk broth fortified with our six-hour prawn stock, turmeric, and lemongrass. The bowl that started everything.
Asam Laksa
S$13.00Tart. Fishy. Penang-true.
No coconut. Tamarind, mackerel, torch ginger, bunga kantan. The bowl homesick Penangites order twice. Thick rice noodles only.
Sarawak Laksa
S$13.50Creamy. Complex. East Malaysian.
Sambal belacan base, coconut milk, lime, bean sprouts. Thinner broth, bigger flavour. Topped with shredded omelette and fresh coriander.
Spice Level
Current: Medium
Our regulars know Level 3. Midnight-shift nurses order Level 4. Level 5 is a personal decision.
Add-ons
Family Bundle
Four bowls, any variants, any spice levels. Pickled vegetables, extra sambal, and a flask of broth on the side. For the table that can't agree on anything except that this is good.
Four Taps.

They Know
The Number.
Office workers who've memorized the spice levels. Midnight nurses. Homesick Penangites.
I've been ordering Level 4 every Tuesday night after my shift ends at 11pm. The broth is the only thing that makes sense after a 12-hour ward.
My mum's from Penang. She tried the Asam once, didn't say anything for five minutes, then asked for the number to call ahead next time. That's the highest praise she gives.
I moved from Kuching six years ago. The Sarawak here is the only bowl in Singapore I don't have to mentally compare to back home. It just is.
Ordered the family bundle for four. My kids argued over who gets the extra cockles. Ordered again three days later. The bundle pays for itself in silence.
