There are many variations to laksa, a type of spicy noodles found in Southeast Asia. Which one is the best? Our bet’s on this hawker stall in Singapore — a three-time Michelin Bib Gourmand winner run by an elderly couple for the past 22 years.

Shop address: Famous Sungei Road Trishaw Laksa, Hong Lim Market and Food Centre, #02-66, Blk 531A, Upper Cross Street, Singapore, 051531
