King’s Laksa Steamboat Review: Laksa Steamboat Buffet With Free-Flow Fried Chicken Wings

At King’s Laksa Steamboat , you get to enjoy their fragrant laksa soup base along with a satisfying steamboat buffet spread that includes free-flow har cheong gai. This steamboat buffet is priced at $21.80++ during lunch (11am to 2:59pm) on weekdays.

King's Laksa Steamboat - Laksa Steamboat Buffet With Free-Flow Chicken Wings Food at King’s Laksa Steamboat First things first, you have to choose two soup bases. Their signature Laksa Soup Base is a must-order, and we decided to get their Seafood Soup as well.

It was thick enough to coat the noodles and meats we cooked without being too jelak . The s eafood soup was on the plainer side, especially next to the laksa base. This gave the soup a savoury, slightly briny taste, which went well with the crab and prawns we cooked.

Going to The slightly chewy texture of the seaweed as well, a nice texture to the soup. The prawns and pieces of crab were quite fresh and retained their natural sweetness.

If you’re like me and just can’t get enough of cockles in your laksa, order more servings of their blood cockles to throw into your steamboat pot. And now, for the pièce de résistance of this buffet – Prawn Paste Chicken ! These were deep fried a la minute , so we were able to get them toasty and warm at any point of our meal.

Crispy on the outside, warm and juicy on the inside, the wings here were comparable to those from my go-to zi char place. These were the perfect sides to go with our laksa broth as they soaked up all the soupy goodness easily. Ambience at King’s Laksa Steamboat King’s Laksa Steamboat is located in a shophouse around 10 minutes away from NEX and Serangoon MRT Station by foot.

In order to avoid this, especially if you’re with a large group, come here after 12pm or make a reservation the day before. At King’s Laksa Steamboat, you have to place your order for the different meats, noodles, soup bases, and finger food you want by filling out the small forms provided. The verdict Though King’s Laksa Steamboat may not have the most extensive selection or highest quality of elements, this is one steamboat buffet that is worth the money.

If you can eat your weight’s worth in fried chicken, their free-flow har cheong gai is reason enough to come back.
