Famous Sungei Road Trishaw Laksa, Hong Lim Market & Food Centre #02-66, Blk 531A Upper Cross Street, near Chinatown MRT. In a 2017 Michelin feature the owner said the defining trait is less coconut milk, so it is lighter than Katong. Get the mee siam too. Hours: check their socials. Hong Lim and the rest are in our hawker centre guide.
Depot Road Zhen Shan Mei Claypot Laksa, Alexandra Village Food Centre #01-75, 120 Bukit Merah Lane 1, about 20 to 25 minutes from Redhill MRT, or a bus. Served in a claypot, so it stays hot to the last spoon. Michelin featured it in a 2017 laksa piece. Hours: check their socials.

Assam laksa: sour, fishy, Penang style

A Michelin Bib Gourmand for its Penang assam laksa, which Michelin describes as a fish-based broth with fresh mint. No coconut milk, so it is the opposite of Katong. Hours: check their socials.
