Established in the 1950s by Ng Juat Swee, nicknamed 'Janggut', this brand is the originator of Singaporean style Laksa.
.
The light broth has a grainy creamy texture from coconut milk, dried shrimp, and laksa leaves, less oily with savoury milky sweet herbal flavour. The chunky sambal belachan isn't too spicy, lending a mild salty savoury spice kick.
.
The smooth thick rice vermicelli noodles are trimmed short, soft with a gentle chew and grainy sweet flavour. Pairs with the crisp bean sprouts with vegetal sweet flavour, and the springy fish cake with sweet savoury flavour.
.
The crunchy deshelled prawns lend sweet savoury notes, while the juicy yet small blood cockles burst with briny salty mineral notes.
.
Well balanced heritage taste of nostalgia.
