It took me many years to finally make my way back here. My first attempt ended in disappointment when I arrived too late and they were already sold out for the day. Katong Laksa may sound familiar to many, but how many versions are there really? I was told there are three well-known ones, 328 Katong Laksa, Janggut Laksa, and George’s Laksa.

From what I know, not only does my friend swear by it, but my sibling does too. George’s Laksa is housed in a shophouse, occupying a humble little stall serving their comforting bowls of laksa, priced affordably at $6, $7, and $8 for small to big portions.

The larger portions came in bigger bowls and were topped with extra hum (cockles), making it even more satisfying. The bowl itself was wider than usual and generously filled with rich coconut broth, thick white vermicelli, prawns, cockles and all the familiar essentials that make up a comforting bowl of Katong laksa.

The gravy was complex, balanced and incredibly tasty. It carried a rich depth of flavour without being overly heavy on the coconut, striking all the right notes and making each mouthful deeply satisfying.
A dollop of sambal added a gentle kick, enhancing the overall flavour without overpowering the natural richness of the broth.

If you asked whether the journey was worthwhile, I would say without hesitation, yes. This was exactly the bowl of laksa I had been craving for all this time.
