Yesss I second this

You did great! I appreciate your curiosity and willingness to step out of your comfort zone

Laksa is well spicy, rich with flavour and just divine. I make laksa and I can tell you had a 'budget' laksa. I am surprised by how good some of the packaged laksa is and one brand, Home Gourmet, is a good standby when you need a quick fix. Just follow the instructions on the back of the pack.

Just FYI, Singaporean food is NOT only Chinese food. If you got the chance, please try our native Singaporean Malay and Indian food. I swear it's much tastier and not pale or bland.

"I swear it's much tastier and not pale or bland." Chinese food isn't pale or bland. Neither is it going to be much better for everyone. This is such a biased comment.

I agree with you 💯. There's much more tasty Malay and Indian dishes, than same boring, bland food on offer.

bro you are mad af sia 🤣 "much tastier" "not pale or bland" chinese guy hurt your feelings ah? LMFAO

Laksa is supposed to have a good kick to it. You probably got a bad batch.

He is really good at explaining the food 😊

Hahaha the brand old chang kee doesn't even sell laksa in Singapore, though they are famous for their curry puffs. Gotta try laksa when you're in Singapore 😊

You tried laksa from old Chang kee instead of the authentic hawker laksa.

food taste are normally adjusted to suite the taste oof the country they are in.

You really need to come to Singapore to try the food. Singaporean food overseas is no where compared to Singapore food in Singapore itself.

Eating that bread should have a cup coffee ☕ 🥪. 😅

While Old chang Kee started selling tasty curry puffs decades ago, their laksa is a fairly new comer and is definitely not one of the best in Singapore.

There are many many store selling laksa. Not all store taste same. Maybe u chose wrong store. 😂😅

Not caramel. It's called Kaya, made from pandan leaves and eggs.... if you're in Singapore or other South East Asian countries, there are many food/snacks made from or using pandan leaves.

Chilli crab sauce made of beaten egg, tomato sauce, a little starch, garlic and maybe a little bi of onion, soya sauce and water.

it's not laksa without the cockles 🥲

I can tell just from the look of the laksa it wasn't full of flavor xD Old Chang Kee doesn't have a good record of producing good food other than their curry puffs (maybe)

Noooooo, the chicken broth/soup is for you to drink it not to pour into the rice. Old Chang Kee isn't everyone's favourite version of curry puffs and I don't think they sell Laksa in Singapore's stores. You are right to say that theirs is more like pie kinda pastry. Chili crab gravy is thicken by cooking with eggs.

more sambal in the curry laksa....

We can buy Kaya spare in spore but I do not know UK can you buy.

There is a mini mart Malaysian store in Chinatown or you can try the Asia supermarket Tien Tien. Sometimes they carry. But is like 5 pounds or something a bottle. There is also an online store selling Pandan Chiffon cake and other Singapore/ Malaysia pastries in London. You just need to google it.

As a Singaporean, I avoided Meimei as I dont like the character of the owner and it's cost like 5 pounds for 2 slices of Kaya toast and costs like less than 2 pounds in Singapore. U can get Kaya at the Malaysia/Singapore store in Chinatown. The hainanese chicken rice in London is rubbish. I even tried the Rice guy in Canary Wharf and it is so average. I do like the Old Chang Kee curry puffs and taste authentic. So far, I haven't find a good Singaporean food in the UK. Even had the roti canai in Canary Wharf but I prefer the curry sauce back home than the thick curry sauce served. If you want authentic Singapore and Malaysia food, you have to come here to try. Pocket friendly and taste sooo good.

I thought you look for curry ouff yet you got laksa instead .Sambail is a lit if stuff cook together.

U shouldn't pour that soup on chicken rice. If u like spicy food. Try the malay food mee rebus, mee siam, mee soto. 😂🍜

I did, but it didn’t help it

The laksa taste only coconut is becoz the store didn’t cook it properly if you want the OG laksa come to Singapore or malaysia.

Laksa is a seafood based stock with coconut milk and rempah (chilli and spice mixture) mixed with rice noodles, fish cake, beansprouts, prawns, beancurd skin and cockles. The one you had was probably amercanised to suit the palate of the american people.

old chang kee laksa??!!?? lol They only sell over fried dried junk food over here in Singapore lol. And that chicken rice... who serves the veggies with the rice in the same bowl??? it looks so horrible!!!

You selected the right food to review but sorry to say NOT the right outlet! If you do more search you’ll experience the real stuff!

😴😴

Oh no .. Old chang kee not representing us singapore well ..

Laksa is supposed to be very flavorful. The one you tried probably just sucked

Chilli crab is over-rated. It takes away to the true flavour of fresh crab.
