Halal lobster laksa & laksa udon available at Jurong East St 21

It's served with laksa (get it, lotsa?) seafood.

You've heard of lobster nasi lemak, so naturally, you should expect other varieties of localised lobster dishes to come along.

Like laksa, for example.

This hearty bowl of laksa can only be found in a Halal-certified eatery called Jenggood Jom Makan at Padi Emas Coffee House.

From the guy that brought us the Laksudon (Laksa Udon) 🍜comes his most epic dish yet: the Lak-ster Deluxe or lobster laksa for short. It’s definitely “go big or go home for @jenggoodjommakan. _ The laksudon is already easily one of the most satisfying dishes I’ve had this year, but the Lak-ster is possibly the most memorable. And it’s not because I just ate it last night. Look at this beast: it’s loaded with mussels, prawns, squid, and a whole lobster! All on top of the lip-smacking good laksa udon. For $34.90, the dish is really good value for money, especially since the lobster is so meaty and just enough portion for 2 pax. We also scored some roe in ours. _ The lobster has somehow shed it’s “luxury” status this year, with many familiar dishes now sporting the crustacean. Most notably, the Nasi lemak. The lakster has the potential to be the craziest food invention yet, and we now have a halal one, thanks to @jenggoodjommakan _ Address: Blk 214 Jurong East St 21 LAKSTER only available on Fri-Sun 5pm to 10pm _ #thehalaleater #halalsg #halalsgfood #sghalal #sghalalfood #foodiesg #whati8today #onthetable #sgfood #sgfoodies #sgfoodporn #sgfoodblogger #sgfoodunion #foodgawker #yoloeat

Dubbed the Lakster Deluxe (S$34.90), each serving is filled with prawns, squid, mussels and of course, one whole lobster.

The concoction of seafood is then laid atop a bed of udon noodles and then doused with the thick laksa gravy.

However, do note that the Lakster Deluxe is only available from Friday to Sunday and sells out fast.

Like really fast.

Wait, udon? With laksa?

You read it right. Udon laksa.

Instead of using the typical rice noodles Singaporeans are very accustomed to, Jenggood uses Japanese udon, which has a chewier texture than rice noodles.

And thankfully for those with a smaller budget, they also have the no-frills Laksudon (it's the combination of "laksa" and "udon", duh).

The Laksudon can be served without prawns (S$4) or with prawns (S$6).
