"Daisy’s Dream specializes in Peranakan cuisine, and they’ve got the best bowl of laksa in Midtown. The sour soup base contains a lot of shrimp paste, but there’s enough coconut to balance it out. If you want a less involved (aka less liquid) lunch, get the nasi lemak with a side of meatballs to go. Pick at the crisp pink hunks of meat and a whole school of fried anchovies as you walk down the street, floating above the chaos." - Neha Talreja, Will Hartman
