Take a break from your shopping spree with a bowl of steaming-hot laksa at Temasek. This extremely popular Malaysian-Singaporean eatery looks no-frills from the outside, but, once you're tucking into your spicy feast, you'll understand why it's been packed since opening in 1992. The laksa list offers chicken, prawn, chicken and prawn, seafood and vegetarian versions. But, if none of that whets your appetite, there's a bunch of other dishes to choose from, including Singapore chilli crab, Hainanese chicken rice and a spectacular oyster omelette.
We started with a serving of vegetarian spring rolls and beef curry puffs which were deliciously light and crunchy. After that we sampled to Singaporean laksa with fishcakes and the vegetarian version. Both were perfectly spiced and fragrant and while a decent size, we were left craving more. A serve of Hainanese fried rice filled the gap and we washed it all down with some home made iced lemon tea. Can't get much better than that.
