Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

We think Geylang Laksa Prawn Noodles offers a strong contender for a non-Katong style laksa, with many reviewers preferring its lighter, less 'lemak' broth.

The $4.50 small laksa is noted for generous portions of noodles, fish cake, and prawns, with an option to add cockles.

The broth is described as savory, fragrant, and not overly spicy, making it very drinkable.

While the laksa is a clear standout, the prawn noodles also receive praise for their 'umami' and 'prawny' broth, with a large dry prawn kueh teow with chili and pig skin costing $7.00.

We'd recommend trying the prawn noodles with kway teow for better sauce delivery, and some even suggest adding a bit of prawn noodle soup to the laksa for an enhanced experience.

Be aware that the laksa can sell out quickly during weekday lunch, and queues can be substantial during peak hours.

However, arriving before 8:30-9:00 AM can mean little to no wait time.

This is a reliable spot for a flavourful, old-school laksa or prawn noodles, especially if you prefer a lighter laksa profile.

What customers say

Geylang Laksa Prawn Noodles at Sims Drive is highly praised for its old-school Laksa, which is described as light, savory, and superior to the Katong variety, often selling out quickly.

The prawn noodles also receive strong positive feedback for their umami broth and flavorful additions like pig skin and pig tails, though some wish for more pork lard.

Customers appreciate the generous portions and reasonable pricing, despite occasional long queues.

Had tried both their prawn noodle and laksa before. Prawn noodle is the old-school kind--with sufficiently umami broth that is not overly-redolent with the crustacean. It is decent but pales in compar…

The Laksa and prawn noodles are exceptionally delicious. The Laksa is superior to Katong Laksa, which has become overly commercialized and its quality has declined due to a lack of quality control, po…
