Sam's Singapore Laksa House Review ~ Crow's Nest


We try Hainan Chicken Rice, Har Mee and Assam Lime Soup at Sam's Singapore Laksa House, Crow's Nest.


Crow's Nest Plaza is a small and tired old shopping centre that has a few hole-in-the wall retaurants worth checking out. Miss Chicken and I came to revisit an old favourite Japanese joint but we get distracted by the street foodie offerings of Sam's Singapore Laksa House.



Hainan Chicken Rice $10. I enjoyed it though it lacked the 'magic' of a great chicken rice. The chook, soup and the rice were plain though well cooked.



Prawn Noodle Soup. $12. The broth is not uber-prawnie as Miss Chicken prefers but still quite tasty.



The soup came with a king prawn that was cut in half then fried in light batter, a simple trick but so effective, that prawn was delicious.



Assam Vegetable Lime Soup with Shredded Chicken. $7.80. We have never tried this dish before, it's an instant new favourite. A spicy tamarind broth similar to a Penang Laksa, add a squeeze of the supplied fresh lime and the soup jumps to life. I was a little unsure at first sip but drooling by the end of the bowl.

  1. You should try the Himalayan Char Grill next to the Teppanyaki restaurant. I think it's quite good. The restaurants in Crows Nest Plaza are quite friendly and relatively cheap compared to other restaurants in the area.

  2. This place in Crows Nest was closed for quite a while. This one could be your next try: https://www.peranakanplace.com.au/home ...for me they're decent choice.
