A
328 Katong Laksa
As controversial food subjects go, the source of the original, authentic Katong laksa is one of the most emotive. Several laksa stalls along this stretch have been engaged in Singapore’s infamous ‘Laksa Wars’ for years, bickering over who was first. Decide for yourself. You won’t go wrong at any of them, but this is, commercially at least, the most successful.

Guan Hoe Soon
This modest brick-fronted restaurant is the oldest Peranakan restaurant in Singapore (established 1953). Lee Kuan Yew gets his takeaway here. The definitive Peranakan ayam buah keluak (chicken with black nut) is a standout. Ask for the babi panggang (charcoal grilled pork) on weekends.

Serangoon Salt-Baked Chicken
In typically Singaporean fashion, Serangoon Salt-Baked Chicken is found nowhere near Serangoon. Also in typically Singaporean fashion, people will travel across town whenever a craving for the wonderfully toothsome takeaway fowl takes hold. Rip it apart with your fingers and devour.

Chilli Padi
Outstanding Peranakan food in its spiritual home of Joo Chiat – and so popular it’s spawned a range of home-cook pastes. Try the sour assam fish head and or sambal sotong (squid), and don’t miss the kueh pie ti (flour cups filled with prawn and turnip).
