Hawker Sells $2.50 Sungei Road-Style Laksa After Quitting Sales Manager Job

“I wanted something that I could retire into,” explains the 51-year-old hawker, who opened 63 Laksa in 2015 after quitting his job assales manager in the telecommunications industry. “The income drop [after a corporate job] is drastic, but it’s enough to raise a family and be just comfortable, not extravagant. As long as food standards and costs are maintained, my ‘retirement’ work is secure. And, no, I won’t be making any down payments for a Ferrari any time soon,” he jokes.

While Sungei Road Laksa continues to cook their laksa over a charcoal flame at a kopitiam in Jalan Berseh today, his grandfather closed his stall nearby after only a few years of operation back in the 60'sA visual comparison with Sungei Road Laksa’s $3 bowl A netizen who’s tried both offerings tells us that the size of 63 Laksa’s bowls are “just like Sungei Road Laksa”. “[It] is really [a] very small bowl,” he adds. The same netizen also posted on a hawker food group that he"prefer [sic] this stall than Sungei road".There’s a charming reason for the stall’s moniker . “I wanted to call it something that anyone could read, even if they’re illiterate.

“It’s a volume game. Ghim Moh actually has a very good catchment – we serve everyone from Bukit Panjang to Pasir Panjang. And surprisingly, a lot of foreigners visit our hawker centre,” he says. “And they’re all able to take my laksa, which is non-spicy. Even three- or four-year-olds can take it. We don’t have any crying kids at my shop .”

Old Sugei Road Laksa on a pushcart was so popular in 60-70s. Cheap n tasty with Coconut n tahu gravy. Street gamblers were around with their noises filled the streets. Oh ! Old days !
