One of my favourite local food is Laksa, and I finally find time to check out George's Katong Laksa at Changi Road. It is understood George's father learnt the recipe from the legendary Janggut Laksa. The stall used to be at Telok Kurac before relocating to the current coffeeshop at Changi Road. There is only one stall in the coffeeshop, and it is non-other than George's Katong Laksa.
Laksa 4.5/5
The Laksa ($4.50/ $5/ $6) comes in a red-orangey lemak broth, accompanied by prawn, fish cake, and cockles. Though the broth looks rich, it is drinkable. I finished it to the last drop.
What I enjoyed most was the noodle. The stall uses the thick beehoon that comes with a delectable bite. It is the type of childhood taste I have been missing. Nowadays, most laksa stalls use the kind that is soft and slippery. The noodles are cut into short strands for easy consumption. You simply need a spoon to scoop up both the noodle and broth for the best enjoyment.
It seems not very people know abt George's Katong Laksa. Maybe it is because it is neither near nor far from the nearest MRT station. It is quite a walk from the nearest MRT station. Nevertheless, this is a good bowl of laksa that beats many stalls out there.
