Overall, Laksa Siglap was a unique revelation. It looks very plain and simple, but is such a nuanced study in flavours inspired by its coastal fishing beginnings and textures from the QQ noodles and veggies.
Recommended by Johor Kaki – the oldest cendol stall in Singapore. The chendol strips were short and tadpole-like, and needed no biting. The drink itself was mildly fragrant sweet from the coconut palm sugar, with a hint of saltiness, and did not come with any red beans. Interesting salty-sweet flavour, different was the caramelly sweet chendol out there.
From generation to generation, it would seem the heritage and legacy of Kacang Pool Mustafa will continue swimmingly well with Nordin’s family by his side.
