Being an all-time curry lover, I was pretty excited to get my fix of curry at Heng Heng Curry Cafe. This restaurant belongs to the Minor Food Group Singapore which also has Thai Express, Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe, New York New York, Buffet Town, Kiseki, Shokudo Concepts, Pinle among other brands under it, and these brands hardly disappoints.

They have some really cool curry dishes which people hardly expect could go well with curry. The pictures on their menu all looks so appetizing that you may not know what to order. 
I decided to go for the simple Curry Chicken ($9.90). The gravy is really amazing, not overly spicy and really cooked to the right consistency. The chicken aren't as tender as I've expected but they were still tasty because they probably have sinked in the curry flavour after long simmering hours. The potatoes aren't the regular ones you expect from normal curries but rather those lightly fried ones, probably because they didn't want then to be overcooked and mashed up or other reasons. I prefer the non-fried ones though.
This is how well the golden curry goes with the white Steamed Rice ($1). I love the coriander they topped it with because it's really fresh. The curry also comes with long beans & eggplant which are nice too, provided you're not a picky eater.
My buddy who was with me went slightly adventurous and ordered the Curry Chicken Hor Fun ($8.90). There are mixed reviews about the portion of the hor fun but I believe it's just the way they put it, because she took quite a while to finish it too. But I do agree that they could be more generous withy the chicken. Hor fun was a tad bit dry but it goes kind of well with the hot curry gravy.
Who doesn't need drinks for their curry? I've ordered the Grass Jelly drink ($2.80) and they come in this vintage looking mug which I kind of like, the drink was also pretty awesome and sufficient as well. However, one thing I dislike about this place is how they charge for their Plain Water ($0.50). Would leave a far better impression without it.
Overall, they do have good curries, portion of the chicken curry was great at a reasonable price and they have really good and friendly service staff too. Maybe I won't recommend the hor fun but I'll most likely be returning for their signature fish head curry and other dishes on their menu!
