Lor mee and laksa double speciality at Toa Payoh Lor 8
Hong Seng Lor Mee & Laksa is a hawker stall at Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Market & Hawker Centre, offering two beloved Peranakan-influenced dishes under one roof. The stall specialises in both lor mee and laksa, giving diners the choice between the thick, braised gravy of the former and the coconut-rich curry of the latter. This dual speciality is a practical draw for groups or families with different cravings.|||The lor mee features thick yellow noodles drenched in a viscous, dark, starchy gravy made from braised pork stock, five-spice, and garlic. Toppings include braised pork belly, fish cake, and fried fish pieces, with vinegar and minced garlic added to taste. The laksa, by contrast, offers rice noodles in a rich, coconut-based curry soup with tau pok, shrimp, and cockles, finished with a spoonful of sambal for heat.|||At Toa Payoh Lor 8, Hong Seng serves the local community with two dishes that represent the Straits Chinese culinary heritage central to Singapore's food identity. The stall's ability to execute both dishes competently makes it a versatile option, and the generous portions ensure diners leave satisfied. It is a reliable neighbourhood stall that exemplifies the breadth of Peranakan-influenced hawker fare.Operating Hours

The Lor mee is quite good, but I think it is over rated. I would patronise this stall when my favourite stalls in this hawker centre are having long queue.

There was a short queue and it was fast before it was my turn. The lor mee has a slight herbal taste. The ingredients were crispy and nice too.

Hong Seng Fried Fish Lor Mee needs no introduction in Toa Payoh Lor 8 Hawker Center. There is always a queue from the time they open till they close. …
Dan Tan
Had a really good bowl of lor mee! The flavor was on the lighter side, which actually made it quite refreshing and not overly heavy. It's a great option that's suitable for everyone, from kids to those who prefer milder tastes.
