If you miss the sights and sounds of Singapore, and you’re craving a hawker centre favourite, you could leave the country…
Or you could head to Melbourne’s Singa Pura King of Hawkers for a steaming bowl of laksa with soft shell crabs. Fragrant and full of flavour, it’s our must-try dish this week.

Is that the full name?
Nope, officially it’s “Singa Pura Laksa (Soft Shell Crabs)” on the menu.
Where do you get it?
Singa Pura King of Hawkers, 3/409 Victoria St, Abbotsford VIC 3067
Why is it a winner?
What ails you? A sore head? A broken heart? An acute case of missing travel? Singaporean laksa is the ultimate comfort food and the laksa at Singa Pura King of Hawkers will cure all ills. Made with the optimum blend of spices, this laksa will bring back all the colour and, much more importantly, the tastes of Singapore’s hawker centres. With crispy soft shell crab on top, you could enjoy the texture by eating it on its own, or let it soak up all the flavours of the laksa for a different sensation. Not too big and not too small, it’s the Goldilocks of laksa, just the right size!
Anything else to know?
Hot or cold, your laksa will only be improved by drinking a strong and milky Teh tarik with it. Or, if you need serious cooling down, go for the iced cendol. Either way, head to Singa Pura King of Hawkers for a laksa you won’t forget in a hurry.
