I was introduced to 328 Katong Laksa by my friend whom frequented Singapore. This laksa certainly has a huge name because they managed to outmatched the Michelin Star Chef - Gordon Ramsay in a match organized by Singtel.
Previously, there were many stalls claimed to be the authentic Katong Laksa but in present days the only prominent names that will be mentioned by Singaporeans are 328 Katong Laksa solely. With the setting up of branches across Singapore, you do not need to purposely travel to Katong to enjoy a bowl of this scrumptious meal, though the original store is there.
Unlike Penang, Singapore laksa actually refers to curry mee in Penang. It is a bowl of noodles with coconut milk broth, with option to include chili to spice it up. Although we have never tried any other laksa in Singapore, we were deeply impressed by 328 Katong Laksa. The coconut milk broth was amazing and it overwhelmed our mouth with the aromatic coconut scent. Chili paste was provided at the counter and you can take as much as you like. We took some and stir it to the broth, resulted a perfect concoction. Coupled with the fresh ingredients and al dente noodles, this scrumptious bowl of laksa definitely will hook up the patrons who have tried it.
We liked the fact that during ordering the staff asked us whether we want to include cockles or not. I personally prefer the addition of cockles as it gave some extra biting ingredients in the bowl of noodles.
Anyhow, our experience was based on our visit to 329 Katong Laksa at United Square, Novena. The experience might differ in different branches.
While waiting, we went to the neighboring stall to order fried chicken and curry puff for snacking. The crispy skin fried chicken was something worthy mention.
