Quotes

"(Laksa Curry Broth) Oh, that is rich and buttery from the coconut cream. The herbs in there are like a lemongrassy, seafood flavor to it."

"And we're at a place that's called Katong Laksa George. Legendary, highly regarded for their laksa, serving one of the best in Singapore."

"This bowl of laksa looks incredible. It is so thick. You see the coconut milk, but we have to taste it immediately while it's hot and fresh."

"Katong laksa is a Peranakan dish. So it's a combination of Straits-born Chinese in the Malay Peninsula combining with Malay cuisine and ingredients into a single bowl, a single dish of delicious harmony."
