Consider 328 Katong Laksa one of your top laksa spots in Singapore? You’re in luck.
The folks behind the legendary laksa chain has a launched a laksa hotpot concept exclusive to their 216 East Coast Road outlet.
Start off by choosing your soup bases, which obviously has to be the Signature Laksa Soup (S$15). We recommend going for the more value-for-money Twin Pots, such as the Laksa Soup + Chicken Soup option, also priced at S$15.
The star of the show, the laksa broth, was rich, thick, and spicy, nicely balanced out with coconut milk, and full-bodied in flavour.
If you’ve been living under a rock and have never had 328 Katong laksa, it boasts the kind of hotpot broth that will make your eyes water. You might even end up sneezing a few times. But you continue slurping it down satisfyingly, despite the beads of sweat that run down your face — it’s just that addictive.
If everything starts tasting a tad too rich, balance it out with sips of the clean-tasting yet comforting Chicken Soup.
The best part? All soup bases are free-flow, so feel free to ask for as many refills as you like!
Ingredients-wise, there are over 50 a la carte options to choose from.
You can pile your plate with meats like Sliced Pork Belly (S$7.80), Smoked Duck (S$8.80), Beef Tripe (S$7.80), and Sliced US Beef (S$10.80), which had a surprisingly decent fat-to-meat ratio, soaking up all that slurp-worthy broth.
In fact, both my dining partner and I didn’t feel the need for any additional dipping sauces, given how flavourful the laksa was on its own.
Amp up the flavour with seafood like Tiger Prawn (S$8.80), Lala (S$5.80), Ebiko Prawn Paste (S$12.80), and, of course, Cockles (S$6), because what’s a good bowl of laksa without hum?
Despite not being a fully-fledged hotpot joint, they’ve got an extensive selection of vegetables, rice and noodles (we recommend the S$1 Thick Rice Vermicelli for the full laksa experience) and even a Classics section with all the good stuff.
Think Fish Ball with Roe (S$8.80), Beef Meat Ball (S$6.80), Cheesy Seafood Toufu (S$5.80), and Ring Roll (S$2.20), just to name a few.
Pair your hotpot with sides commonly served at dim sum eateries, like Prawn Roll (S$8.80) and Crispy Luncheon Meat (S$6.80).
There are even sweet “dessert” options like White Taro Custard Ball (S$4.50), oozing with custard, as well as the Glutinous Rice Cake with Brown Sugar Syrup (S$5.80) for fans of all things chewy and mochi-like.
Of course, those not in the mood for bubbling hotpot (the weather has been kinda ridiculous as of late) can opt for the regular Laksa (from S$7.30), served chock full of prawns, fish cakes, cockles, and beansprouts, which you’ve got to eat with their super shiok sambal.
