Penang lemak Laksa restaurant at Katong i12 with rich, coconut-based broth.
Granny Q Penang Lemak Laksa is a restaurant at Katong i12 specialising in Penang-style lemak laksa, a richer, coconut milk-based version of the famous sour and spicy noodle soup. The stall is known for its thick, creamy broth infused with the aromatic blend of lemongrass, galangal, and turmeric, poured over rice noodles and topped with shredded fish, cucumber, pineapple, and a pungent prawn paste. The lemak style sets it apart from the more common asam laksa, offering a milder, creamier experience that still delivers the complex flavour profile Penang laksa is celebrated for. The menu centres on lemak laksa as the signature dish, available in regular and large bowls, alongside other Penang specialities such as prawn mee and Hokkien mee. Prices are moderate for a restaurant setting, and the Katong i12 location provides a comfortable, air-conditioned dining environment. It suits laksa enthusiasts eager to try the lemak variation and anyone seeking a taste of Penang heritage in the Katong neighbourhood. Find Granny Q Penang Lemak Laksa at 112 East Coast Road, #02-12/14, Katong i12, 428802. Visit gqlaksa.sg for the full menu. It is a must-visit for anyone curious about the creamy, aromatic side of Penang laksa.Operating hours not available
