Revive your memories of the good old days~
That’s one of the tagline I found on Curry Times’s website:
Revive your memories of the good old days~
I love all things old & vintage and Curry Times gives me exactly that feeling.

Don’t you think so? The interior and exterior, the lights… they somehow remind me of Hong Kong’s cha chaan teng. Like the one below.

#ImissHK #IneedtogobacktoHKsoon
But anyway, be not surprised, contrary to the name, Curry Times don’t just sell curry!
There’re other mouth-watering dishes. But first and foremost, I’ll start off with the curry dishes.
- Signature Curry Bun ($1.50)

The bun is fluffy and soft and the curry potato inside reminds me of the bun my mum buys from the bakery round the neighbourhood. I was expecting it to be a little warm but it wasn’t, so I was distressed. #mebeingadramaqueen
If you’re thinking of having a tea break any time soon, visit them. They are running a promotion right now: 1 bun + 1 hot drink (coffee, tea or me. Just kidding. Or Milo.) will cost you $2.50.
Only on weekdays, 3pm to 5pm! Quite a good deal. A short break from the office is good for the soul.
2. Signature curry chicken with choice of rice / noodles / prata or loaf ($8.50)

I chose a loaf of bread to go along with my curry.

I think it’s pretty amazing that the curry does not contain coconut milk. Fresh milk is used instead so there’s a slightly different taste to it.
I’m a fan of coconut milk so the lack of it was pretty obvious to me.
First impression: Salty. Chicken is tender, potato melts right into your mouth.
3. Curry chicken with choice of ramen / thick bee hoon / bee hoon / hor fun / mee sua ($8.50)

This is apparently NEW on the menu.

Maybe I left it there for too long, the mee sua turned soggy. In all honesty, I didn’t really like this dish because of its spiciness.
If you can take spice, then go ahead and give this a try!
4. Traditional Beef Brisket ($15.90)

I think I did a good job with the photo above. It looks inviting, doesn’t it?
This sharing portion is for 2 to 3 pax. I would recommend that you order something else to go along with it. Say, rice or noodles because it’s again… salty. #inmyhumbleopinion
The beef is succulent and tasty, and the winter melon has a slight sweetness to it. The crunchy bamboo shoot complements the whole taste. If only they could go easy on the salt.
5. Dry Laksa Goreng ($8.50)

The laksa taste was not as flavourful as I thought it would be. Maybe the curry and beef I had before were too overpowering?
Chicken slices has a local Indian taste to it, which was a pleasant revelation.
6. Homemade Ngo Hiang ($8.20)

This has got to be my favourite. The mix of minced chicken meat, chestnut and prawn is a flawless concept.
Crisped on the outside, crunchy on the inside. I was savouring every bite of it.
7. Yam paste with gingko nuts ($4)

We usually get to eat this during Chinese Wedding Dinners, right?
Paste is smooth, comparable to Chinese restaurants’ standards. #truestory
8. Coffee Chendol ($4)
If you’re a coffee addict, try this interesting blend.


9. Coconut with Aloe Vera & Iced Jelly ($5)

I would say this was the perfect drink after all the salt and spice. Real coconut juice with a GENEROUS amount of aloe vera and iced jelly. Perfect for summer!

That was an insane amount of food! I better book my next yoga class.
