Laksa

Maybe I went into this with too high expectations, but I was expecting something a bit more special. The tofu is really good.

A worthy thorough laksa- got to try from Charlotte's bowl. Finally authentic nyonya laksa found here but at steep price

I grew up helping my mum pounded the lemongrass, candle nuts, garlic, onions, ginger, blue ginger, chilli padi, big chilli, dried prawns & belacan using the mortal & pestle. I have unfair high expectations from Coco Veggie. It is a lot of hard work for my elder mum to prepare. She doesn’t use mortal & pestle now. She uses the blender which is faster & easier too. Yet, the veganised Laksa paste she makes is always so good. It wasn’t easy to veganise Peranakan food, & I was so happy when I saw Coco Veggie being reviewed! This restaurant definitely has raving reviews! I even add that to my list of Places to Visit. At last, I can eat Peranakan as and when I like it! I finally dine at this restaurant. I ordered the Superior Singapore Laksa. My first impression was the the stone bowl. Impressive. At first, I thought it was heated up to keep the food warm, but realised later, that it isn’t, but just a normal stone ware. When I taste the Laksa gravy which is the key ingredient, it just lacks the depth. The wow factor is missing. My children said, “Grandma’s is way much better.” @veganhubby agreed too. The serving is HUGE, & I was overly stuffed to my dissatisfaction. Prices at $15.33 (with 10% service charge & current 8% GST), I would much prefer the portion to be smaller & price lower. The #veganLaksa contains the usual fried bean curd puff, bean curd, bean spouts, Laksa leaves, & mock prawns. Is this the best Laksa in Singapore? I would say GreenDot Laksa is still #1. Hop over to my previous review & compare the photos & reviews, you will see the reason.

Not bad! Like that the bean sprouts have the crunch, and they go well with the tofu. Feel that the laksa is missing the laksa leaf fragrance, and that there could be different type of mushrooms.

Among all the vegan laksas in Singapore, this one’s by far the most lemak. 😋 This laksa has tofu, taupok, heaps of taugay, some mock prawns and a lovely dollop of sambal. Shiokness level to the roof! Probably the best vegan laksa in sg.
