We compared the fat, meaty giant ‘hum’ to a typical laksa blood cockle and found it almost three times bigger.
visited the stall at around 7.30am on a weekday, there was a queue and constant stream of customers.
These aren’t the puny ‘hums’ you typically find in hawker laksa, but plump, good-sized ones, each around the size of a teaspoon head.Three cockles usually ain’t enough to hit the spot . But here you can top up $2 for an extra serving of cockles, around four to five pieces. “We find the small hums at most laksa stalls miserable, so we wanted to serve ours with bigger cockles. Since the cockle stock from our supplier comes with jumbo ones, we offer them as an add-on,” says Steven.We physically compared the sizes of the two types of cockles offered here, and the supersized hum was easily about three times bigger. While the stall gets quite a few enquiries from curious folks about the cute giant hums, few actually order it.
