Editor’s Note

Last updated 24 Sept 2026

Our take: Pondok.Makan SG stands out for its authentic Indonesian fare, particularly its Laksa Johor, which diners consistently praise for its rich, solid soup and traditional flavour profile.

Many reviewers highlight the Laksa Ikan Kembong as a must-try, with some claiming it's the 'best laksa in town.' Beyond the laksa, the Goreng Pisang (fried bananas) and Jemput Jemput Pisang (fried banana balls) also receive high marks for their homemade taste and generous banana content, distinguishing them from flour-heavy alternatives.

We note the limited seating, which suggests that takeaway might be a more practical option during peak hours.

The service is frequently described as friendly and the prices affordable, making it a value-for-money option.

We'd recommend Pondok.Makan SG for a satisfying and authentic Indonesian meal, especially if you're a fan of Laksa Johor or looking for well-made fried banana snacks.
