Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

Our take: The Original Katong Laksa Since 1950s, also known as Janggut Laksa, offers a traditional take on the classic dish in Serangoon.

We note that the laksa here is often described as creamy and slightly sweeter than other versions, which may appeal to those who prefer a richer, milder broth.

While some reviewers find this style a personal preference, it consistently receives praise for its smooth, coconut milk-infused gravy.

Many consider it a reliable spot for a laksa fix, with some even highlighting the curry chicken as a standout.

We'd recommend pairing the laksa with an otah for a more complete experience.

The shop space is generally described as cozy and less crowded than some competitors.

This is a solid choice for those seeking a creamy, slightly sweet laksa, particularly if you're in the Upper Paya Lebar area.

It’s still the best curry chicken I’ve ever had in Singapore. The Queensway branch was my first taste of their curry. Of course, their Laksa is also a winner. The only thing missing is the corn, but…
