5 Singaporean Classics: The Most Delicious Dishes in the Lion City
Laksa is a flavourful noodle soup that blends Malay and Chinese influences, embodying the essence of Peranakan cuisine. The most famous version in Singapore is Katong Laksa, which features thick rice noodles cut into shorter lengths, served in a fragrant coconut milk-based curry broth with prawns, fishcake, and cockles.
The dish has a rich history, believed to have originated from Chinese immigrants who settled in the Malay archipelago and adapted their noodle soup recipes to local spices and ingredients. The addition of coconut milk and laksa leaves gives it a distinctively Singaporean touch.
Food lovers can enjoy this dish at popular spots like 328 Katong Laksa, which has gained a loyal following for its well-balanced spice and creamy broth. Those staying at centrally located accommodations such as Orchard Hotel Singapore will find themselves within easy reach of some of the city's best laksa eateries, making it convenient for a quick and satisfying meal.
