On a cold, rainy day, there are few things we like better than a hot, spicy, soupy bowl of noodles to perk us up. The remedy that comes to mind for most spice fiends? Laksa, of course. This recipe of rice noodles in coconut milk-infused broth, often mixed with tau pok (fried beancurd), prawns, fishcake and cockles, isn\u2019t hard to find in most hawker centres and food courts. We’ve already covered the best rice dishes: nasi lemak<\/a>, chicken rice<\/a>, biryani<\/a> and nasi padang<\/a>. And now it’s on to noodles. To make your laksa-hunting a lil\u2019 easier, we\u2019ve lined up only the best bowls of laksa in Singapore on this list.<\/p>\n

Best laksa in Singapore<\/h2>\n

1. 328 Katong Laksa<\/h3>\n

This venerable institution made headlines after defeating celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay, in a laksa showdown once upon a time. But that\u2019s really not surprising to its throngs of ardent followers. Laksa dilettantes should make this stall their introduction to the local favourite. In our opinion, the best thing about this laksa is the perfectly balanced gravy \u2013 not overwhelmingly creamy, but with lots of umami oomph. The thick strands of rice noodles are firm and springy but not soggy, and they are conveniently cut so you can slurp \u2019em up with a spoon.

2. 63 Laksa<\/h3>\n

At $2.80 a bowl, this is arguably one of the cheapest laksas you’ll ever find in Singapore. And nothing is skimped out here! You get a flavourful broth, noodles, fishcakes, and even cockles. Thanks to the addition of some dried shrimp, the soup is extra umami in flavour. You can even splurge on the otah as a little treat.

It is unorthodox to serve laksa without its signature broth, but we have no qualms whatsoever when it\u2019s in the good hands of celebrated Peranakan chef, Violet Oon. In this dry version, topped with prawns, tau pok and bean sprouts, fresh rice noodles are tossed in flavoursome laksa gravy, ensuring they stay firm and springy. Expect brilliance in every bite.

4. Amy’s Laksa<\/h3>\n

At under $5 a bowl, it’s hard to pass up the laksa at this humble hawker stall. Amy’s Laksa slings out decadent bowls with a heavy touch of coconut milk. We don’t know about you, but we’re planning to ignore our diets for a day just for this hearty broth. There’s always quite a queue though, so be sure to get there early so you won’t be disappointed!

5. Famous Sungei Road Trishaw Laksa<\/h3>\n

When a hawker stall has the word \u2018famous\u2019 in its name, you know to expect a long line. But it\u2019ll be well worth the wait, especially for this Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient, which has held the honour since 2016. The aromatic broth, strong on seafood flavours, is rich, creamy and slightly spicy. You\u2019ll want to finish up every last drop, along with the fresh prawns and cockles in the bowl. Psst: Adventurous eaters should also try the stall\u2019s fragrant fruit juice mee siam for something out of the ordinary.
