Who say koala is a bear?

Koala is not a bear. It is a tree-climbing animal like monkey, etc.

Is monkey also a bear to you? Think, you Singaporean.

“The Katong Laksa saga began in 1963 when brothers Ng Juat Swee and Ng Chwee Seng started selling laksa at the coffee shop at No. 49.

The stall, then called Marine Parade Laksa, was very popular and, till the early 1990s, was the only one selling the noodles in the area. Mrs Teo was the landlord of the coffee shop.

In 1998, the brothers moved out when the landlord wanted to raise their rent, and took a two-year hiatus. The stall was taken over by a food stall helper from Clementi, Ms Nancy Lim, now 42. She named it 328 Laksa.

After about a year, Mrs Teo wanted to take over the stall herself, so Ms Lim moved across the road to No. 51.

Meanwhile, three other laksa stalls popped up. The sons of the original Katong Laksa Ng brothers restarted the business at No. 57, and two other stalls opened up at Nos. 45 and 47. And so laksa fans found themselves having to decide between the noodles at Nos. 45, 47, 49, 51 and 57.

In 1999, Sunday Plus, the predecessor of LifeStyle, ran a story on the feud. It included a review of the stalls by food consultant Violet Oon.

She rated stall No. 47 the worst. A week after the report, the owner, Madam Ah Ang, reported that business had dropped by half. She closed her shop about three years ago.

The other stall owners could not recall when No. 45 closed down, but guessed it was between 2001 and 2003.

Today, only three out of the five stalls remain: No. 57 Katong Laksa, the original run by the Ng family; Ms Lim’s 328 Katong Laksa which is now at No. 53; and No. 49 Katong Laksa, which belongs to Mrs Teo.”
