    The trick to me for Janggut Laksa is to ask for more sambal chilli paste, the portion they give is somehow too little for my spice tolerence, haha.
    Anyway I think people would always say Queensway's is better, might be just cause of that nostalgia feels, after every trip to Queensway shopping centre, one of the must-dos is to eat their laksa, and getting scolded by the auntie, haha

    I'm actually looking forward more to seeing which 2-platers you're dropping to 1-plate and why over the 3-platers. I'm not fond of heavy belachan, so I think Sungei Road will likely win for me. I might drop by it this week to compare it to my more regular laksa place and see how they compare.

    You need to try Granny Q Laksa in Penang. It's not penang asam laksa style even though its in penang. they were actually in Singapore for a short while but closed temporarily (they say they're still available for corporate events though). Malaysia trip for a bonus round?

  • @lynnc9531

    But despite of no extra cockles, the Queensway one already costs $8. The Guang Fa and Sungei Road cost cheaper? Could you take into consideration the price to ingredients ratio as well in your future assessments ;)

  • @kentnai-i5x
    @kentnai-i5x 2 місяці тому +1

    IMO, janggut laksa is still the best laksa.. btw I think now only 4 outlets left, with the other 2 at Paya Lebar(the least crowded and lepak) and Chinatown Point.. 🥹 (never been to the amk outlet before)

      ehhhh personally, I wouldn't want it to be consistent with the fish cake. maybe it's to fit into the spoon easier but even that is kinda weak in my opinion.

    Actually you could order otah as an add on... and spam their samba chili because it is definitely not spicy. (Roxy pricing seems to be different from Queensway)
    On a side note would you consider giving vegetarian laksa a shot? Bodhi Deli 菩提齋 in fortune centre (bugis)

Featured by last time Gurmit's lost food places before. But it belongs to the more orangey kind rather than the more yellowish lemak kind. But dont add too much chilli, or it will be abit salty.
