Before George laksa moved to its current location, it was at the corner coffee shop of Telok Kurau /Changi Rd junction until the building was demolished / redeveloped. That time there was also a great fried carrot cake stall & porridge stall. Behind the coffee shop was a very good bao shop. George’s laksa is really super.
I recall from Uncle George that carrot cake aunty retired, while the porridge(I think u referring to the chix rice next door) moved but I cannot recall where
I live here in Kembangan for 45 years and can tell you how it used to look like as a kampong, but I never know this Laksa place. One of our childhood foods. Must try when I can.
I really enjoyed this interview with Chef Alan Chan who seems very knowledgeable and very enjoyable to listen to about cooking and food culture! I especially enjoyed the conversation about vegetables and pickling and how its related to Singapore cuisine vs. other parts of the world.
My favourite style of laksa will always be my mom's, who learned it from my grandma (her mother-in-law). It's somewhere between Katong Laksa and Laksa Johor. Lighter on the oil and spice but heavier on the minced ikan kurau (indian threadfin). Laksa noodles (no egg noodles!) boiled quail eggs spiral-cut cucumber thinly-sliced fishcake halved fishballs
One thing about adding cucumber to Laksa that I don't know why Singaporean doesn't do: Slice them into strands and keep them ice cold or refrigerate them with (salted) ice water overnight. Put them on top when serving. It neutralizes Laksa heat.
My local Asian supermarket sells a huge range of noodles including really thick ones compared to those found elsewhere here in Blackpool, UK. I couldn't agree more about using a larger bowl. As for pricing, I could make four bowl fulls for about £10. I can tell you operate down South Aunty.
Try the lesser known laksa from SIngapore, Laksa Siglap. It has a more fish-based broth. And the term is "potong jelak"! not "potong jalan". Totally 2 different meanings
I'm looking at that broth and I'd love to try stuff like that. You can see the oil, but it's not greasy. Even through a screen you can smell and taste the flavor.
there is a Malay style Laksa called laksa Chap or Laksa Siglap gravy is similar to the Johore laksa and so does the condiments the pain of laksa chap is the Noodles are hand made as it is thicker than the usual laksa vermicelli made with rice flour... its really interesting and really hard to find....
At Mukmin Restaurant, opposite Bedok Stadium. The only one left that I know of. Also Malay Laksa gravy use mixed fish to give texture and as a thickener, very rich.
It's getting close to a decade. I've GOT to get back to Singapore. I wonder if chef Alan will let us reserve a few bowls in advance? Don't want it to sell out on us while seeing the sights.
Its literally the best becos of how its cooked over charcoal.....but its servings are seriously small. A normal person will need to eat at least 2 bowls to feel decently filled
The silver standard is Kiliney kopitiam at upper east coast. Anything better than it will be superb! There's 328 Katong Laksa (Queensway Shopping Centre), Wei Yi Laksa (Tanglin Halt), Terry Laksa (Bukit Timah Hawker) that I like very much.
Sarawakian lasak, johor malay version laksa, basically laksa is categorized like this: Laksa Utara, Laksa Nyonya, Laksa Lemak Putih, Laksa Johor, Laksa Kari, and Laksa Lemak.
It look so nice but I really need to know if it contains any pork or lard in the Laksa? I do understand it’s not halal certified. As long no pork in it and just purely seafood and use vege oil to cook.
“Potong Jalan” I think he meant “Potong Jelak”? “Potong” is cut. “Jelak” is the food being too heavy. That’s why he mentioned putting in cucumber. “Potong Jalan” is Cut Lane, usually used in traffic or you weasel your way in to a girl that another guy likes lol.
@@AuntieLiz it’s ok. It made me laugh. Keep up the great work. Love your cooking and content. All the best with your restaurant and future endeavours! 🙏🏼
As I’m not there I asked Siri the same question and she/it/they gave me a list hair removal shops in Singapore. It felt like a conversation with my dad when he doesn’t understand me because English is not his first language. Honestly I preferred your video version where you were trying not to avoid people’s toes, it said recipe coming soon, but that was 9 months ago.
Something's definitely missing here.... Tao pok (tofu puff).... Sorry, but knowing it's laksa, u shouldn't be wearing white.... And, if it's 17+mins vid (dunno how long it was taken), how nice can this laksa still be, seeing how you so not indulging in it, except for using cutlery scooping in-out-up-down (must be the hotel's buffet breakfast that filled u so up)....
Tau pok is not traditionally in laksa .... Uncle George doesn't use tau pok as the oil from the frying of the tau pok affects the laksa broth, I asked him before
Including exchange rate. And economy. And safety for citizens. And infrastructure. And accounted planes and ships and no tourist falling into sinkholes. Yes. Take the food Malaysia. Go ahead. 😂
Why would you go Singapore to eat Laksa? Everyone knows the Best Laksa is in Malaysia. Even Cheapskate Singaporeans all rush to come Malaysia to eat and transform into Birds every weekend shouting "Cheap Cheap Cheap!!" while their Whole Family Pump their Car for more Petrol like their Car is going to die soon. 😂😂😂
Aww another salty comment from typical jealous Malaysian 😂 You've said it yourself. Singaporeans like to go Malaysia to eat because its 3x cheaper. Not because the food is tasty. If the exchange rate is 1:1, I'm sure not a single Singaporean will even go to Malaysia as whatever Malaysia has Singapore have it too. Its also a bonus that food in Singapore is cleaner and more hygienic than Malaysia's 😉
Im not sure this is intended to come across negative but anyone being proud of their culture / background isnt cringe. Especially as im in the UK, any connection i get with my mothers family and my birth country, i do feel proud to be a part of it. The channel / business wouldnt exist without it.
Thank you for the new video Auntie Liz missed you for a while

This is 5 mins from my house in Kembangan, and I always bring visitors here for a true taste of Singapore.
wa didnt know there is such a place near my place. i always go to bedok
I also live nearby. Never knew…
I live here in Kembangan for 45 years and can tell you how it used to look like as a kampong, but I never know this Laksa place. One of our childhood foods. Must try when I can.
timmoss8510
I will visit you then... Your address?
They used to be at the junction of Telok Kurau and Changi Rd, opp the SPC station ... before that he was in Chai Chee
My favourite laksa is still Janggut Laksa, either from Roxy, or Queensway Shopping Centre
I really enjoyed this interview with Chef Alan Chan who seems very knowledgeable and very enjoyable to listen to about cooking and food culture! I especially enjoyed the conversation about vegetables and pickling and how its related to Singapore cuisine vs. other parts of the world.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great production. Please keep the Singapore videos coming
Awesome auntie Liz and bro Alan. Made me so hungry and a little sad, maybe I’ll get back to Singapore and do a walk and eat again..👊
Alan knows his stuff... nice conversation between you two. The laksa also looks good! 👍
Oh this one? Uncle George's Katong Laksa on Changi Road? Yeah this is my personal favourite.
Beautiful country Beautiful dish and a beautiful Liz. Love your vids. Loves and blessings from the great white Canadian Arctic
Thank you so much!

If I ever get the chance to visit Singapore, I'm definitely visiting Rempapa! 💯💯
You should! Please order the curries/kueh. So so worth it.
welcome back singapore 🙂 so glad you are enjoying some local food. can try out some prawn noodle and teach us how to cook the broth the easier way lol
One thing about adding cucumber to Laksa that I don't know why Singaporean doesn't do: Slice them into strands and keep them ice cold or refrigerate them with (salted) ice water overnight. Put them on top when serving.
It neutralizes Laksa heat.
I learnt the laksa while living in Singapore, but now enjoying it even more living in Kuala Lumpur.😊
That's great!
Love lasksa my favourite dish 😍😍😍
Great video about my favourite meal and Singapore thanks. One question what was the green spoonful that was addee- coriander?
Laksa leaf or some call it Vietnamese Coriander. Alan uses the Malay words for it ‘Daun Kesum’
@@AuntieLiz thanks so much. Greetings from an Aussie in Germany. I must look for it, which is never easy in Southern Germany. Have a great weekend.
watching this in mumbai night 1130 pm and now i am having a craving for laksa noodles...
My local Asian supermarket sells a huge range of noodles including really thick ones compared to those found elsewhere here in Blackpool, UK. I couldn't agree more about using a larger bowl. As for pricing, I could make four bowl fulls for about £10. I can tell you operate down South Aunty.

Yes this is my favourite laksa
Chef Alan is a legend!
Nice video - I once had laksa in Singapore at a café in the botanic gardens, but my favourite is the asam laksa in Penang.
Sounds great!
It's different when u have it at a touristy place compared to a local local place
Again, they are two different types of laksa. The name already tells the difference “asam laksa.”
@@Yenyen-zm7xy there are many styles of laksa. Even in Singapore there is the rare Siglap Laksa.
although they are sharing a similar name "laksa" but you can say that they are two different dishes. Cannot compare side by side.
I'm looking at that broth and I'd love to try stuff like that. You can see the oil, but it's not greasy. Even through a screen you can smell and taste the flavor.
It's so good!
In english, the cockles are called "blood cockles". You don't see them often (and they can be quite expensive).
Very!!
Haha nice 2 see you back in your home land
Thanks for the video auntie Liz
You are so welcome
Looks amazing auntie Liz...
there is a Malay style Laksa called laksa Chap or Laksa Siglap gravy is similar to the Johore laksa and so does the condiments the pain of laksa chap is the Noodles are hand made as it is thicker than the usual laksa vermicelli made with rice flour... its really interesting and really hard to find....

How about trying eat 298 Katong Laksa and Sungei Road Laksa? Those that eat only using a spoon tastes best.
It's getting close to a decade. I've GOT to get back to Singapore. I wonder if chef Alan will let us reserve a few bowls in advance? Don't want it to sell out on us while seeing the sights.
Ask george, alan works for rempapa
My mum's laksa is still my favourite :)
Mums always best
@@AuntieLiz yes, I could not agree more :)
Sungei road's laksa sounds nice..
Its literally the best becos of how its cooked over charcoal.....but its servings are seriously small. A normal person will need to eat at least 2 bowls to feel decently filled
I found out the charcoal is just for show…
Sungei laksa mo longer the seniors going it , young generations very small bowls and too little and expensive need to est 2 bowls
good video
Thanks
Hello, where is this place? Looks yummy.
The silver standard is Kiliney kopitiam at upper east coast.
Anything better than it will be superb!

Im visiting Singapore in 2 days, what is the address of this laksa place? I would love to take my family there.
It's in the video description. But putting it here too:
Katong Laska (George's)
307 Changi Road, Singapore 419785

Singapore Curry Laksa! HDB Hawker!
Hi Chef Elizabeth, I followed you up from Uncle Roger also subscribed to you too.
I think if they cut the noodles up, and use spoon to have everything in 1 bite, it is the SG laksa experience
Closed down on 27th August ?
I think what she meant was, it is closed on alternate Tuesday. 27th Aug is a Tue. Cheers
Sorry they wanted me to let people know they are closed this day for a day off
No go Queensway... the more crowded one. You are welcome. Add on otah.
@@LVPictures she don’t know about Queensway, cos Alderic vid on Janggut haven’t come out yet 🤣
@@dadade plot twist. Came out on monday le
@@LVPictures haven’t come out when she film ma…
Curry Eel Laksa? Aiyo London!
try malay laksa..MAde from Fish
Would you cut the noodles in the laksa, auntie Liz, or keep them long?
Cut to save my clothes
@@AuntieLiz Clothes and other people's opinions are more important.
Point taken
Penang Laksa bu hao la! Eeeek!
Hi Auntie Liz
Auntie Liz go Penang try out Asam Laksa
I must go next time!!
It’s different. They are two different types of laksa, cannot compare.
Where is uncle Roger ? You should invite him to try Singapore best laksa some said better then Malaysia laksa 😅
in malaysia, we already have laksa civil war between each states🤣
Who cares? No laksa for Nigel!
And from now on, I'm gonna refer you as Auntie Liz, thanks Uncle Roger for the naming :D
I prefer thin Bee Hoon on my Laksa 🤤
It look so nice but I really need to know if it contains any pork or lard in the Laksa? I do understand it’s not halal certified. As long no pork in it and just purely seafood and use vege oil to cook.
usually don't however you can ask the cook
“Potong Jalan” I think he meant “Potong Jelak”? “Potong” is cut. “Jelak” is the food being too heavy. That’s why he mentioned putting in cucumber. “Potong Jalan” is Cut Lane, usually used in traffic or you weasel your way in to a girl that another guy likes lol.
Yeh we found that subtitle wrong too
Originally Laksa is a Malay cuisine that was adopted by Chinese
The waifu is asking if you are still here in SG and would it be possible to do a meet and eat ^_^
Auntie Liz, its "potong jelak" not "potong jalan" 😂
Ooops sorry that’s me, apologies I was editing too fast and on holiday - Steele
Potong jalan means something completely different 😂. He’s talking about the jelak. The fat content and flavour in the dish
Apologies, I was rushing to finish the edit and should’ve checked.

@@AuntieLiz it’s ok. It made me laugh. Keep up the great work. Love your cooking and content. All the best with your restaurant and future endeavours! 🙏🏼
Thank you kindly 🙏🏻 Liz & Steele
peanut allergy man in Sing 😭
I don’t think there’s any peanut in LAKSA.
there is no peanut in laksa
Auntie Liz, it is "Potong Jelak" not "Potong Jalan".
Woops 🤦🏻

Kelihatan nya sederhana masti rasa nya beda sama yang lain '
This is what my mum says about me 😹
@@AuntieLiz ya kak betul itu
3rd
research laksa properly ok!!
dont copy from other people book or videos this time!!
jin lao kui
In answer to your question, I just don’t know. You’d need to try them all to be fair though.
Trueeee more to come!
As I’m not there I asked Siri the same question and she/it/they gave me a list hair removal shops in Singapore.

I can eat two bowls of this laksa
That's too near, Chef.😊
Can't beat a katong laksa, with raw cockles on top.
I got seriously infatuated with in in Bugis.
This uncle is the founder of Katong laksa okay. He’s only bad at marketing his laksa only. The lady laksa only move into Katong in later stages.
The amount of shaking in the video & losing focus is giving me a headache :
Auntie Liz likes the sun, but wears a sweater.
Auntie Liz wore light colour clothes to eat laksa 😮
I live in the face of danger
Park at pavement 😂
Chef Liz please pronounce Laksa correctly - 'Luck-sa'...not 'Lak-sa'
Wow aunty Liz removed my comment😂....it's an honour
Something's definitely missing here....
Tao pok (tofu puff)....
Sorry, but knowing it's laksa, u shouldn't be wearing white....

FIRST
Singapore's best Lexus?
The Laksa needs some chilli jams to give it a British touch.
🤮
No thanks
Where is Uncle Roger your sweet couple
she hasn't eaten enough LAKSA to know what is the BEST...
U sure about that? Ive eaten probably nearly ever kind of
Would recommend PPE or not being an idiot... flicking sambal in your eye after a noodle slurp is very painful.
Hate it when hawkers uses cloth to wipe the edge of the bowl... Their cloth is just so contaminated!!!
Do you like country music? Do you want kids? Do you only speak and understand English?
Tao geh just smells like freshly cut grass on the roadside 🤮
Nothing there compares to food in Malaysia. You should know that already.
And then?
@@EeveeEvan you can go back to sleep 🥱😴
Actually for Laksa, no. Malaysia laksa is totally diff.
As someone who's lived in both, you're wrong. There are some dishes where Singapore does it better.
1. Roti John
2. Sup Tulang Merah
3. Rojak Mamak
Including exchange rate. And economy. And safety for citizens. And infrastructure. And accounted planes and ships and no tourist falling into sinkholes. Yes. Take the food Malaysia. Go ahead. 😂
