On days when you can’t decide on where and what to eat, consider heading to Toa Payoh. There’s Wu Da Ma Xiao Chi Dian, where you can have hand-torn mee hoon kueh with razor clams, and K.K. Kitchen, which serves unique Okinawan dishes by an ex-restaurant chef. Adding to this list is Toa Payoh 94 Laksa, where around 200 bowls of laksa are sold daily.Â

The stall specialises in a single dish—Laksa—which is priced at $4.80 or $5.80. You can expect regular laksa ingredients such as fried tofu puff, fish cake, prawns, and a hard-boiled egg.Â

But what makes this bowl of laksa unique is the cockles that are distinctly larger than what you usually see.Â

If you love cockles in your laksa, you can pay an additional $2 to get more of it. Make sure the cockles are submerged in the dense and rich coconut broth for a zhnged-up flavour!

It has been less than a year since the opening of Toa Payoh 94 Laksa, but best believe you’ll be greeted with a snaking queue no matter the time of your visit. Although the stall closes at 2pm, we encourage you to make your way down in the morning to secure a bowl as their laksa usually sells out before closing time.Â
