Tarraa... Here we go!
This is called: Singapore Chicken Laksa or so called Hainanese Chicken Laksa. There are various theories about the origins of Laksa, in Indonesia the dish is believed to have been born from the Chinese coastal settlements and the mixing culture between Chinese merchants and the local cooking practices. As peranakan Chinese communities have blended their ancestor's culture with local culture, Peranakan communities in different places now demonstrate diversity according to the local flavour.
In Singapore, Hainanese Chicken Laksa is easy to find, from school canteens, hawker stalls, to major restaurants. The price range is around SGD 8-10, but mine is SGD 15 (Maybe it's quite expensive for us, Indonesian people?) because they put some side dishes to the package. The side dishes are: three slices of tofus and two somays. The taste is delicious and makes my tummy full :))
Some people said: Don't you ever leave Singapore without trying laksa. And i did! :D
Maybe this Singapore Chicken Laksa of mine is not as delicious as Katong Laksa, which has been very famous among Singaporean, but i think this one is very special too :)) Oh, i almost forget, i tried this kind of Singapore Laksa at Rasapura Food Market, located inside The Shoppes at Marina Bay. But, if you guys want to try Katong Laksa, maybe you can visit East Coast Road, and this is the address: 328 Katong Laksa, 51 East Coast Road, Singapore 428770. Phone: (65) 97328163. They open from 10 am until 10 pm.
