Laksa in the North...

Besides for the infamous 'Chomp Pang Market' located in the 'North' of Singapore, what other delicious alternatives can we find in the 'North'? For a start, let's start with one of my favourite locate delight and that would be...

'Laksa'
Besides for the common ingredients like half a 'Boiled Egg', 'Fish Cake', 'Cockles',
'Beansprouts', 'Fried Beancurd', they have also added one other interesting ingredient
and that would be 'Crab Sticks'. For a start, the gravy itself is pretty sweet, smells
good but it's not spicy enough, despite of the amount of 'Sambal Chilli' that was added.
It's pretty much similar to those of a 'Nonya-style Laksa', which means that throughout
the process of preparing the gravy, they have added lots of 'Coconut Milk'. As for myself,
I have been a big fan of the 'Laksa gravy'. Regardless of the proportion of the
ingredients that they are using to prepare the 'Laksa gravy', I personally love the nice
mix of 'Coconut Milk', the small 'shrimps' and several other types of ingredients/spices
that were added to give the gravy the nice delicious looking colour and nice fragrance.
As for the taste itself, the overall taste of the 'Laksa' is pretty decent and for the
price that I'm paying, I think that I'm actually getting a generous portion of
ingredients. And besides for the taste of the fresh 'Cockles', the rest of the ingredients
are pretty good too, except for the 'Crab Sticks'. The taste of the 'Crab Stick' just
couldn't blend with the taste of the 'Laksa Gravy' nicely, which is a big disappointment.

By the way, the queue for the 'Laksa' can be as bad as it looks. Despite of the
length of the queue, I still ended up queueing for more than 20 minutes or so...

So where can you give the 'Laksa' a try?
This stall has been best known as '928 Yishun Laksa'.
It's located in one of the 'Coffee Shop' beneath 'Blk 928 Yishun Central'.
