Our story begins in the heart of Katong, a neighbourhood renowned for its cultural vibrancy and culinary prowess. Our goal is to pay homage to the legacy of laksa—a dish that resonated with the very soul of Singaporean cuisine.
Drawing inspiration from the bustling streets and aromatic spices of Katong, our Laksa recipe has been passed down by my mother-in-law. The result is a bowl of Singapore Laksa that tells the story of a generation.
Every bowl of Singapore Laksa is a celebration of heritage—a nod to the hawker stalls that have lined the streets of Katong for years, where families and friends gather to share stories and laughter over a steaming bowl of this beloved dish. As we move forward, we carry this tradition with us, aiming to share the authentic taste of Singapore with the world.
Our Special Dessert; Black Rice with Coconut Milk (Vegan, Gluten-Free)
I’m Tuan, and I’m thrilled to be here at this fantastic event. As a proud Vietnamese, I’ve brought a delightful taste of Asian street food that’s both fun to eat and incredibly delicious.
Allow me to introduce you to my speciality: the Coin Waffle Cake: a crispy waffle with a golden-brown exterior, but the magic happens inside. You have the choice of a wholesome Mozzarella cheese pull, or perhaps you’d prefer the fragrant flavours of Pandan, the creamy richness of cream cheese, the comforting sweetness of custard, or the irresistible indulgence of Nutella.
Come on over to my stall, and let’s embark on a culinary adventure together. Whether you’re a cheese enthusiast, a dessert lover, or simply someone who appreciates good food, I promise you won’t be disappointed.
