- Distinctive design
 Municipal Engineer of Singapore and Scotsman James MacRitchie retained its essential shape, but added a graceful clock tower and a new cast-iron supporting structure. The frames were cast in Glasgow before being shipped to and assembled in Singapore.]]> 2017-07-31 05:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ochoalim875/vl4iqryfm1fe/wish/179745884 ochoalim875 https://padlet.com/ochoalim875/vl4iqryfm1fe/wish/179746609 2017-07-31 05:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ochoalim875/vl4iqryfm1fe/wish/179746609 acknowledgement ochoalim875 https://padlet.com/ochoalim875/vl4iqryfm1fe/wish/179746731 http://www.visitsingapore.com/see-do-singapore/architecture/historical/lau-pa-sat.html

But none is more famous than the home-grown Katong Laksa.

Katong Laksa is inspired by the Peranakans (Straits Chinese) who live in the Katong area. It has a spicy soup stock the colour of a flaming sunset, flavoured with coconut milk and dried shrimp, and topped with ingredients like cockles, prawns and fishcake.

Its defining characteristic is the noodles: thick vermicelli cut into shorter pieces that can be easily slurped up with a spoon. At some stalls, you only get a spoon to eat the laksa – no chopsticks needed.

The taste is so sought-after that Katong Laksa has travelled beyond the east to reach every corner in Singapore, due to franchising and enterprising laksa stalls copying the flavours
