Read the full review at http://thehungrybunnie.blogspot.comThe best way to describe Curry Wok's fare is "local" because, like our melting pot culture, the food served here is a veritable mix of Peranakan, Hainanese, Hokkien, Cantonese, Teochew and Malay cuisines. I suppose the majority of the dishes here are all based on its moniker, i.e. curries, although I do spy a fair number of non-spicy dishes.We had:1) Sayur Lodeh ($8): a medley of wilted cabbage, long beans and crunchy sweet carrots simme
The best way to describe Curry Wok's fare is "local" because, like our melting pot culture, the food served here is a veritable mix of Peranakan, Hainanese, Hokkien, Cantonese, Teochew and Malay cuisines. I suppose the majority of the dishes here are all based on its moniker, i.e. curries, although I do spy a fair number of non-spicy dishes.
We had:
1) Sayur Lodeh ($8): a medley of wilted cabbage, long beans and crunchy sweet carrots simmered in a rich and spicy curry. Seriously one of the best renditions of this Malay/Peranakan staple
2) Curry Chicken ($8): Nonya-style and cooked to perfection that even a finicky Peranakan doyenne will approve. It's creamy and heady, with just a film of chilli oil for extra kick. It's spicy without numbing your tongue, and I could finish the delicious gravy on its own with bread or rice.
3) Otak Otak ($8): We LOVE this. It's fresh and moist and nicely textured with whole chunks of fresh fish layered into it. We've been known to takeaway the otak on its own for supper as a wonderfully addictive snack
4) Sambal Sotong ($10): Cooked through but not rubbery, it is well balanced between the chewy and soft. Beware the sambal though, its roasted sweetness belies how spicy it really is
5) Curry Fish Head ($22): swimmingly fresh, so it's a joy to pick off the flesh. The curry is creamy and full of coconutty goodness, with just the slightest hint of tang
6) Hainanese Pork Chop ($8): not-so-great, especially when compared to the rest of the stellar dishes. The meat is just a little tough and lacking in a little moisture
