The finely shredded herb is commonly referred to in Singapore as Laksa leaves (yep) or daun kesom in Malay, which is easily available in the market or supermarket. It's very aromatic and gives laksa its distinctive taste. There used to be a restaurant which made a laksa pesto pasta, yum I'm Singaporean and have never heard of Sungei Road laksa, but will definitely make a trip there to try it. My father grew up in that area. For those of you who would like a taste of laksa, try looking for the paste in the Asian grocery store. Prima makes a really good one which I give as gifts to visitors or to expat friends who have left Singapore and miss their laksa. There are many types of laksa available throughout Southeast Asia. This laksa is a lemak laksa made with coconut milk, as opposed to the famous Penang Laksa which uses tamarind juice (spicy and sour - delicious. Bon Appetite

my father brought my family there twice he claims to have started eating at this stall even before it was in this coffee shop, back when it was sold on the streets (they were illegal hawkers. hes 5 years older than singapore itself and he used to live in the lavender area, which was probably how he got to know this stall. i wonder if you have tried katong laksa. my father brought my family to eat 328 katong laksa during vesak day this year.

Not sure if you're aware of this Mark, this Laksa you had is the Peranakan Laksa There are many styles of Laksa in SE Asia, and the Peranakan style one is only/mostly found in Singapore. I guess you had a little of your long awaited 'Peranakan food fix' here before you went to Daisy's Dream Kitchen in Clementi?

Hey Mark, you are right about Sungei Road laksa being a comfort food. The broth is light & not overpowering. The slow simmering of the broth over charcoal adds to the taste. My favorite laksa stall in Singapore
