Wei Yi Laksa & Prawn Noodle

The flavor, quality, and price are quite good here. I would say this is the best stall among the group. The curry soup and soaked tofu pieces are quite good. Finishing touches like a plentiful garnish of herbs make this a bit better than your average bowl.
There are several combination options that mix and match chicken, prawns, cockles, noodles, and other ingredients. You can get three dish sizes. The $ 3 is on the small side and the $ 5 is a bit large. I’ve never seen anyone get the $ 8 version, but he probably gives you the whole tank of curry and closes shop for the day.
The major downside is the time it takes. A minimal line will be about 15 minutes and I have seen people wait up to 30 minutes before. This makes it pretty impractical to eat at this stall most of the time. Also, you can’t judge based on the size of the line, because many individual people will order 3 – 5 bowls at a time and really slow things down.

I dont ususally travel out of the east to eat but when I do, this is one of the placest I head to. The laksa is delicious mix of hot, tangy gravy with springy noodles that comes with chicken or prawns or both if you’d like.
The dish has enough heat for me to keep wanting more but thankfully not hot enough to make me douse myself in cold water.
Very very good stuff!

I’m a proud West-​sider. I’ve been eating this laksa for more than 25 years. I remember sitting by the side of a drain, dressed in my Sunday best frilly dress, being so small that my feet couldn’t reach the ground… eating a lot of laksa from this guy, and feeling like it was the best thing in the universe.
I still think it’s the best thing in the universe.
I was only introduced to the Katong-​style of laksa much later on in life, and while I like it, and appreciate it, I still think this is where it’s at.
It’s rich and intense (he also sells kick-​ass prawn noodles), without the overwhelming taste of coconut milk like the ones popularized by the Katong laksa guys.
It’s deep and tasty.
It’s cheap and full of good stuff. You pick from «No 1 to No 6», each number bearing a different combination of ingredients. Chicken only. Or chicken and prawn. Or all the works.
My favourite laksa in the world… nothing else comes close for me! It’s the first thing I eat when I touch down at the airport.
