Tiggers Mum is on a short work related detachment to Singapore and I’ve been reliving old memories from when we lived there in the 1960s.
Katong was where we called home
And for some reason I just have a hankering for this – Katong Laksa
Two very fuzzy photos from recent visits to the home of Katong Laksa.
So it’s six years since our last time there
think we might be due for another trip 😊😎

You have a very interesting life rich with experiences and travel. The soup? looks delicious.

lol Jane – all my ‘exotic’ travel was courtesy of HM government. My father was a serviceman and I married a serviceman.
This was in the heyday of overseas postings – sadly as camps/bases were closed so the prospect of travel for dependents was closed down as well.

I wonder if you can get Katong Laksa here? I’d be surprised if you couldn’t.

You’re probably right Andrew but I’d never think to look for it here. Just one of those special things I connect with a special place.

My ex is Malaysian and it hurts my heart to know that I’ll probably never go there and eat all that amazing food ever again. If I get lucky enough to go, I won’t have people to taxi me to the best places!
I hope you go and get some great Katong laksa

Oh that’s a shame Kylie. They do have a fabulous public transport system though. I’m working on the man!

So shall I go there and try it myself?

I would if I was you 😊. It’s on the corner of East Coast Road and Ceylon Road with a bus stop nearby. Stop no. 92111 I think it was.
Also there’s a fabulous Hindu temple ( Sri Senpaga VinayagarTemple) just a little way up Ceylon Road that’s ’worth a visit’

I really like laksa and that is one I haven’t tried. I do hope you get to return.

Those dishes so loved when you eat them in their traditional surroundings somehow never taste the same elsewhere. You need the smells, sounds, atmosphere to make it right
You need a trip to Singapore! While Tiggers Mum is there 😄

That’s true about atmosphere making the experience- which is why Laksa never enters my mind here in Australia – same as frappe coffees are Greek not Australian (even if they’re made by Greeks)

It sounds like such a wonderful place. My daughter and son have been to Singapore with their families and told me it was pretty hot and humid.
Our son is in Malaysia with his family right now. You’re now making me want to go there too. My husband is sure eager to go.
