Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Simei Penang Laksa Speciality draws a crowd for its Penang-style offerings, particularly the Penang Laksa and Penang Fried Koay Teow.

We note that the Penang Laksa, priced at $3.50, is a weekend-only affair, available from Friday to Sunday.

Reviewers praise its generous fish content and tangy, flavourful soup, with the option to add prawn paste to taste.

However, some find the laksa gravy to be on the watery side and lacking the expected sourness.

The Penang Fried Koay Teow receives mixed feedback.

While some laud its savoury umami profile, cockles, and pork lard, others find it bland, lacking 'wok hei', and with broken noodles.

The absence of Chinese sausage and seemingly boiled prawns also disappoints some who seek an authentic Penang CKT experience.

We think it's worth a visit if you're in the Jurong East area and craving Penang flavours, especially for the laksa.

Be prepared for potential sell-outs of the CKT, particularly around lunchtime.

A clear verdict: Best for a quick, affordable Penang Laksa fix on weekends, but manage expectations for the CKT.

What customers say

Simei Penang Laksa Speciality garners mixed but generally positive feedback, with its Penang CKT often praised for its savory umami, cockles, and pork lard, though some find it bland or lacking wok hei.

The Penang Laksa, available only Fri-Sun, is appreciated for its fish content and tangy flavor by some, while others desire more sourness and intensity.

The stall experiences high demand, with items like the Penang Fried Koay Teow selling out quickly.

Found this place thanks to all fellow Googlers! They offer Penang noodles specialty. Tried the fried kuey teow - pretty good flavour but can do with a bit more wok hei. Do note that Penang Assam Laksa…

I was excited to try their Char Kway Teow, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. While it showed some similarities to the authentic Penang version, the flavor was somewhat bland and lacked…

Do note that Penang laksa is only available from Friday - Sunday. The Penang Laksa and Chakwayteow seem to be equally popular. Not a big fan of this as I had expected it to be more sour and flavourful…
