Best of everything served at this party. A pity it was in such a small bowl.

BRIEF: “Thick rice noodles in taramind fish broth topped with local Mackerel fish, sliced cucumbers and onions.” SOOT’S TAKE: A hearty, satisfying, aromatic broth with everything I would eat and nothing I wouldn’t eat in a soupy noodle dish (I’m looking at you, beansprouts)! 🔎

BRIEF: “Prawns, Flower Clams, Fishcakes, Taupoks, Lettuce, Braised Egg, Rice Vermicelli.” SOOT’S TAKE: As scrumptious as before but > 40% pricier than it was before 🫤

A Level 7 meal not from GentleFoods® but courtesy of GentleFoods® nonetheless.

BRIEF: “Chor Bee Hoon, Laksa Gravy, Coconut Milk, Prawns, Tau Pok, Fish Cake, Boiled Egg, Laksa Leaves, Bean Sprouts, Fried Tau Kee.” SOOT’S TAKE: Pre-Peranakan Museum lunch. Rich from the coconut milk but not overly so. I requested leaving out the bean sprouts and they complied so, yay. 🙌

Not a laksa burger 😉

Noodles served in coconut curry soup with chicken pieces, fishcakes, BBQ pork and tofu.

Vermicelli noodles served in creamy spices Peranakan-style gravy with mussels, prawns, squid, fishcakes, taupok, beansprouts (HOLD the beansprouts!!) and onsen egg.

The star of the buffet table IMO. I had > 1 helping.

BRIEF: “Heritage recipe. Thick flavourful prawn coconut broth - top with daun kesum, shredded cucumber & kantan leaves. A true Melaccan gem.” SOOT’S TAKE: Had mine with French beans, okra and eggplant. I liked that the egg yolk was jammy.

I prefer 328's!

It was different.

A really good deal at $4.50 and for coming with a bottle of water.

V Singaporean!

Had so much potential to be really good but alas, it was let down by a profound lack of seasoning 😭

“Brown rice vermicelli & spiralled veggies in a creamy & spicy almond mylk broth served with grilled tofu, tofu pok and a side of miso sambal.” The Good The miso sambal managed to be both piquant and guilt-free. The Insipid The laksa was let down by the broth which was one-dimensional and overwhelmingly dominated by the aroma and taste of curry powder.
