A lesser-known variation of laksa, Laksa Siglap, is gaining recognition as a potential predecessor to the more famous Katong laksa. Originating in the now-developed area of Kampung Siglap, this dish boasts a unique broth distinguished by its fish and *kerisik* (toasted coconut) base. Unlike many modern laksas, Laksa Siglap traditionally features handmade noodles, adding to its distinct character. Food enthusiasts are highlighting the dish as a valuable link to Singapore’s older culinary traditions. The resurgence of interest aims to preserve this authentic flavour profile and acknowledge its historical significance. While Katong laksa enjoys widespread popularity, Laksa Siglap offers a glimpse into the evolution of this beloved Singaporean dish. Its revival celebrates a fading culinary heritage and provides a taste of a bygone era.
