Famous Sungei Road Trishaw Laksa

4/5⭐ Famous Sungei Road Trishaw Laksa At $7 a bowl, it's not cheap, but the flavors were definitely on point: very well balanced, spicy, creamy, and packed with umami. For me, cockles are an absolute must for laksa – someone in front of me ordered without, and I genuinely wanted to die inside! 😂 You can also add a whole crayfish for extra $5, but personally, it didn't seem worth it to me. I think I'd be happier paying around $5 or $6 for this bowl. If not, there are plenty of other great eats to explore in this hawker!

Laksa noodle was good. The soup was balanced. Is it worth the price? For me maybe a dollar cheaper will be more justified. Queue was long and it sold out pretty fast, way before its closing time. The queue moves quite slowly so took more than 20 minutes before order was taken and food took another 5 minutes to be ready.

Came here twice to try each dish (without crayfish versions) and was served once by the Uncle & then by the Aunty. Both are very kind & Aunty especially so by treating me to an extra calamansi for my Fruit Juice Mee Siam since I confirmed to do like the sour taste. I love both the Asia Delight laksa ($7) & the fruit juice Mee Siam ($6), can highly recommend both. Without adding any chilli the existing spice level is enough for me to eat comfortably. Blood cockles in the laksa was a new experience for me & now I'm sad no one seems to offer blood cockles in Sydney cause they go really well with the laksa! Also I have never seen laksa leaves served in Sydney either. Would definitely get both dishes again, maybe even try with crayfish the next chance I get to visit Singapore. I was always there in the morning so there was no queue for me. Also they are on the 2nd floor.

Moving back to the second floor, an 09h00 opening for Famous Sungei Road Trishaw Laksa thankfully sporting no queue, it was with smiles from owner Daniel Soo and his wife that a steamy bowl of “Asia Delight Laksa” was procured for just $12. A relative newcomer to Hong Lim, Bib Gourmand recognition by Michelin boosting sales in recent years, Soo’s stall offers two versions of Laksa with both influenced by Sungei Road’s heritage and the Gravy less Coconut with more focus of dried Seafood plus whole Shrimp and a butterflied Crayfish on top.

Serves Laksa & Mee Siam. Had the Laksa, the broth was flavourful yet not too heavy. Ingredients were generous. Will be back.

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.

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.

Very friendly auntie. Generous portion of ingredients for both laksa and mee siam. Their tastes, however, were rather underwhelming. The broths were diluted and lacked complexity. Blood cockles were rather tiny too.

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.
