Best Avocado Juice in Town

Started business in year 1990, this is the first original Avocado juice (well, it's more like a milk shake) stall in Alexandra Village, not sure if it's the first in Singapore though.

I have tried many different Avocado shake, this stall still the best. It's just so fresh & creamy. Absolutely delightful.

Besides Avocado juice, this stall also sells other exotic drinks, such as beet root, strawberry + soursoup, apple + carrots, etc. Many of the new flavors are worth trying.

Avocado shake originated form Indonesia. It's a simple mix of fresh avocados, evaporated milk & brown coconut sugar (gula melaka). For variation, some people like to add vanilla icecream and blend it together with the other ingredients.

Benefits of Avocado Juice
Many have a wrong perception that avocado juice is fattening. In fact, avocado contains a good supply of carotene. It contains no less than 11 vitamins and 17 minerals, with rich vitamins A, D, and E, which are good for human skin.

Depot Road Zhen Shan Mei Calypot Laksa


A 15-year-old Laska Shop, which have been voted for the BEST LASKA in town. Many magazines, TV & celebrities also recommend.

What so special about the Laksa here?

Most places serve laksa in plastic bowls. Here, the laksa comes in steamy in original claypot. Claypot not only keeping the laksa hot, it also trap the spicies and flavor into it. The older claypot they use, the more flavor you taste. The soup base here is very rich & thick. Unlike Katong Laksa which is more soupy.

The service staff normally ask if you want to add cockle (sea hum). If you're allergy to seafood or have sensitive skins, suggest to skip it.
