Famous Sungei Road Trishaw Laksa

Mon 18 Nov 2024 12.15 pm Happened to stumble on this stall and see how it compares to the other Sungei Rd laksa at Jalan Besar. Displayed many Michelin awards. Small and big portions, big with crayfish, priced at $7 and $11 respectively. Ordered 2 small portions. Ingredients are fresh. Laksa taste is good. Strong with lemak taste. Look at the 2 empty bowls at the end.

Tried this Michelin Gourmand recommend laksa stall at Hong Lim Hawker Centre. Orderd the $7 bowl. Laksa broth is not as umami at first, however it taste better after a few mouthful. Generous amount of cockles/prawns. The owner/uncle is friendly and he takes pride in preparing the laksa. I would eat here again definitely.

Chanced upon this place in Hong Lim market and saw they have Bib gourmand award for a couple of years straight plastered in front of their stall. No wonder long queue. Ok the queue still not as long as the crayfish horfun at the other corner. That one is insane. I’m not sure about the history of this famous Sungei Rd trishaw laksa. Growing up in the east, I’m naturally team Katong laksa. I went big and ordered the crayfish laksa for a whopping 12 bux. The serving aunty was friendly and wanted to help me arrange the shrimps nicely before i took a photo though I told her not necc lol. The laksa broth is abit soupier than usual. Not as thick and as fragrant as the Katong janggut laksa. Taste somewhat abit lacking but still acceptable for me. Even though i chose the thick beehoon the texture still feels thinner than usual. At least the shrimps and the crayfish are fresh. My crayfish had roe in it somemore siol. Overall i think it’s decent. The broth i def prefer the Katong ones.

Delicious laksa with a twist! The crayfish was a nice addition, but wasn't critical to taste so i may choose to add the crayfish as a treat but not as a regular choice. The laksa also has a good portion of cockles (hum), which i liked.

Being Michelin Bib Gourmand rated 6 years in a row until 2020, I have had high expectation and eagerly wanted to try it. Ordered a small bowl of laksa however found the gravy lack the umami flavours typically with strong base of dried shrimps and belachan. I believed this version was the soury, clearer soup with Asam or tamarind as one of its main ingredients. The ingredients (cockles, shredded chicken, doubo. thinly sliced fish cakes and prawns) were nevertheless tasted fresh however portions could be more generous.

Did not disappoint! Michelin rated for multiple years for a reason AND the fresh seafood in their large Asia Delight Laksa was amazing! Definite recommend. $7 small. $12 large. Opens 10:30am-6:00pm (or 11:30-4:00pm depending on the sign you read 😉). Friendly and thoughtful service. 👍👍 FYI Hong Lim Center has no AC but has fans, tables & maintained toilets (bring your TP & wet wipes!).

Ordered a meesiam (on the right) and a Laksa (on the left) total $13. The meesiam soup is less sour and also less spicy than the standard version, perfect for those with a weaker tolerance for very acidic and spicy food. The Laksa soup doesn't have that strong coconut aroma but still manage to taste fine. The Ingredients in the meesiam dish have prawns, fish cakes, taupok, eggs, spring onion and thin beehoon. The ingredients in the Laksa dish have prawns, fish cakes, taupok, cockles and thick beehoon.

The lady is very friendly to introduce the ingredients in the laksa. Soup is very nice and just nice portion for me. I finished all the soup.

You cannot say that you've visited Singapore without slurping down a bowl of hot and spicy Laksa in a hawker center in 80 degree humid weather cramped with other patrons around. I love a good laksa bowl that's filled with a pungent shrimp taste, creamy coconut broth balanced well with savory spices. I sought out this vendor for many reasons - they are Michelin awarded, locally acclaimed and voted one of the best foods to enjoy in previous years. So we set out for a late lunch one day only to catch the owners closing up shop around 2:30 pm. They asked that we come back the next day to try their famous bowls. Hungry and disappointed, we left to satisfy our Laksa craving elsewhere and came back the next day. It was the only stall with a long line for lunch (I counted 12+ people snaking line around the hawker center tables). People passed by taking pictures of the stand and deciding whether it was worth the wait to stand in line. We ordered 3 bowls (one bowl of each dish they offered) to share: the Asia Delight Laska, Fruit Juice Mee Siam and Mee Rebus. I honestly cannot tell you the difference between the three. They shared the same broth and looked similar. Also, don't expect a lobster or a big prawn tail in your bowl like their sign advertises. See my pictures for reference. A light, salty, fishy, shrimpy, umami, creamy coconut broth with pieces of meat, tofu, bean sprouts and seafood scattered throughout the bowl - was it worth the try? Absolutely! Was it the best Laksa we've had in Singapore? It came in close. In my opinion, a bit more spice and spicy-ness would have balanced out the sweet/creamy coconut based broth a bit more. The noodles didn't cut it for me; they were the short, thick rice noodles that reminded me of the vietnamese banh canh dishes back home. I would have preferred a longer noodle for maximum slurpage. Needless to say, this is a place worth visiting and trying if you're ever in Singapore :)

I believe my husband found this place on Singapore Eater. I guess they are also Michelin Recommended too! I don't typically like Laksa, but I actually enjoyed this bowl a lot. I believe we got their "Delight Laksa" bowl, which came out to $5 SG. The broth was so light, yet still having that slightly creamy and briny flavor! (other times I've had Laksa in the past, it tastes way too thick and heavy). I also liked the accompaniments, with the spicy flavor addition on the side, the tofu, and bits of lobster and shrimp. There wasn't much total in extra toppings, but the sum of them added a lot of flavor to the dish, quite sophisticated for $5 SG. I loved this light bowl of Laksa!!!

Located on the 2nd floor, it will be right in front of the lift on the left. Enjoyed the taste of their laksa soup, the sambal sauce is fragrant and not spicy. A bowl of laksa is around SGD5 .50 with fishcakes, chicken, shrimps and clams if you prefer, while you can pay a few dollars more for a bigger prawn as topping.

Again this is a matter of personal preference but I thought it was just ok. It's on the 2nd floor of a rather large food center, a bit difficult to locate but with the help of good Samaritans I found it just as it opened for lunch. Broth: 2/5, to me this is the most important component of any laksa. Unlike the typical SGP laksas that are loaded with curry and coconut milk, this version sticks with the basic seafood flavor. I am a big fan of Cantonese style seafood soup, I also liked the Assam style laksa broth in Penang, but I found this broth somewhat bland. My partner and I both looked at each other & said "where is the flavor"? Perhaps it was just a bad batch from that day? Noodle and seafood:4/5, I paid extra to get the bowl loaded with shrimps and crawfish (baby lobster), noodles was good, no complaints here. Value: 4/5, even with all the extra seafood loaded in my bowl I think it was only like $9 SGP, which is a great deal. if you eat in a nice restaurant the price can easily be doubled if not more. Overall I was somewhat disappointed by this famous laksa, the broth in particular was a letdown for me.

I had my first Laksa ever just yesterday here, and I must say that it was honestly a fantastic experience. Located in a corner of Singapore's Chinatown, Famous Sungei Road Trikshaw Laksa is one stall among the many hawker stalls located in Chinatown. Given this fact, it took a little searching and a lot of google map checking to find this place. Despite the relative difficulty of finding this place though, the search is more than worth the effort. The Laksa here has a thick, rich soup similar to the best ramen shops I have been to while in Japan. And each bowl of Laksa has a large helping of seafood with a generous setving of noodles. However, what is perhaps the most surprising thing about the Laksa here is that the broth is able to preserve its rich taste by relying on seafood products as opposed to using fattier meats and other animal products (pork, beef, etc.). The price here is also ideal at under 10 singaporean dollars a bowl. This is a place I would highly recommend.

For 9 SGD, you can get the crawfish asian delight laksa which is what they're known for. Loved the cockles, chicken and crawfish. The broth is coconut curry like and they provide a spoon of their red paste with it that works wonders. Wanted to go back for more. The line wasn't long at noon on Monday. Would definitely come back.

Reasonable 15 minute queue at 1215 on a Friday. Ordered the large Fruit Juice Mee Siam with Crayfish ($9), which was served up fast by the very friendly and cheerful owner. And wow. This Mee Siam was special - the owner wouldn't divulge the recipe, but it was unique and refreshing. The Crayfish was a special add and worth it - freshly chopped and made in front of you. One of Singapore's hawker gems.

Laksa. The quintessential Singaporean noodle soup. If you're a visitor to Singapore then you undoubtedly want to find some place that does it pretty well. If you're a local, then you probably already have your thoughts on who does it best. I've had my fair share of bowls of laksa during my few trips to Singapore. The particular bowl we ordered from here will forever stand out in my memory as the best I've tasted thus far and they have made me a future repeat customer on any subsequent visits to the hot and humid city-state. Containing all the seafood items inside a typical bowl of laksa, it didn't have any trace of old fishy flavor or aroma that has happened on a few occasions that I've experienced elsewhere. Instead it had a much more rather sweet and savory mix of flavors and aroma. The laksa here really impressed me down to the toothsome noodles. Every spoonful really had that "oh, man, that's good" kind of feel. It's no wonder the Michelin guide payed them a visit and recommended them.

Very good Laksa just like the review said. Trishaw Laksa is already well known and has its own following. This stall in Hong Lim has no Yelp till now. The broth is excellent, worthy of mention. The white noodles is soft tender, very easy to scoop and eat even without chopsticks. $4 is decent for Laksa. There are many good Laksa around. For the $5 Laksa, they added probably half a prawn, 3 pieces of white chicken. For the $7 version, they add a crayfish on top of that. Knock yourself out.

Famous Sungei Road Trishaw Laksa is amazing. Search the Hawker Center for the long cue, but it's well worth the wait! The owner is very friendly and proud of his well deserved awards. Seafood Laksa with lobster, get the large. Very fresh and not too spicy. Goes well with the pressed cane sugar juice with lemon available next door.

This has been my favorite thing I've tried so far in Singapore. The rich, seafood/curry broth is amazing. The noodles are nice and springy, and the Lobster was perfectly cooked! Another stand out about this place was how friendly the owners were. There are so many wonderful things to try in Singapore, but I will have to go back to this stand before my trip is over. Pro tip: If you want to get all the seafood toppings, you must get there before 3pm.
