Curry Times Restaurant - Unveils New Chicken Cutlet Curry Pao Fan

Founded by Old Chang Kee, Curry Times restaurant is a new dine-in concept specializing in curry dishes. Set in a nostalgic setting reminiscent of the glorious days of Mama's home-cooked food, Curry Times aims to bring back flavours and dishes from the past to be enjoyed once again. With multiple outlets island-wide, we visited the Curry Times Restaurant outlet at Westgate. The restaurant provides a casual and welcoming atmosphere for patrons to enjoy a wide range of dishes, including Hainanese Chicken Rice and Nasi Lemak, alongside various curry-based options.

Chicken Cutlet Curry Pao Fan 4.2/5

Curry Times is introducing an exciting new creation: the Chicken Cutlet Curry Pao Fan. This creation combines a generous serving of pao fan, a comforting rice porridge, and a crispy chicken cutlet placed on top. The dish is further enhanced with fragrant and creamy curry sauce, creating a harmonious blend of flavours and textures. For enthusiasts of both curry and pao fan, this inventive creation promises a must-try experience, allowing you to enjoy the best of both culinary worlds in a single, satisfying bowl. This set also comes with a free Barley drink at $10.90++.

Nasi Lemak with Chicken Super Drum 4/5

Apart from their new dish, we also tried the popular Nasi Lemak with Chicken Super Drum ($10.90). The Nasi lemak is a traditional Malaysian and Singaporean dish known for its fragrant coconut rice, and it is typically accompanied by various condiments such as sambal (spicy chilli paste), peanuts, fried anchovies, cucumber, and a hard-boiled or fried egg. In this variation, the dish is elevated with a huge chicken drumstick, adding a substantial and flavourful element to the classic nasi lemak.

Curry Chap Chye 4/5

The Curry Chap Chye is a flavourful and aromatic dish that combines the essence of two classic Asian dishes: curry and chap chye. This dish typically features a rich and savoury curry sauce infused with a blend of aromatic spices. The curry is then generously loaded with a variety of fresh vegetables and ingredients, such as tofu, beancurd skin, and assorted vegetables like cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms. The result is a hearty and wholesome curry that serves as a perfect complement to your steamed white rice or Nasi Lemak rice.

Crispy Chicken Wing (3pc) 3.8/5

The Crispy Chicken Wing dish ($6.50) at Curry Times is a mouthwatering treat. We ordered them as a snack, which features a perfectly fried and crispy exterior while being tender and juicy on the inside. The wings paired well with the sweet chilli sauce provided on the side.

Seafood Paradise @ VivoCity - Exciting Fusion Collaboration with Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh, Featuring Seafood-Centric Creations Like Crab Curry with Creamy Butter Mud Crab

Take advantage of the exciting fusion collaboration between Seafood Paradise and Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh by Gaggan Anand.

Available only till 17 December at both Seafood Paradise VivoCity and Clarke Quay outlets, this collaboration introduces six new seafood-centric creations that blend Singapore-style dishes with a brilliant touch of Indian-Mexican flavours.

Fresh Jumbo Canadian Oysters 4.5/5

These plump Fresh Jumbo Canadian Oysters ($12.90/pc, min. order of 2 pcs) were elevated with tangy pickled shallots, tobiko and a moderately spicy salsa taquera. I could have multiples of this!

Grilled Squid with Salsa Taquera 4.2/5

Following the oysters was the Grilled Squid with Salsa Taquera ($28.90). I really enjoyed the tenderness of the squid, accompanied by a hint of smokiness. While some of my dining companions wished for a stronger char, the dish was well-received overall. Like the oysters, it was served with a side of Mexican salsa taquera, adding a zesty touch.

Gaggan's Crab Curry with Seafood Paradise Creamy Butter Mud Crab 4.8/5

Everyone’s favourite dish of the night was Gaggan's Crab Curry with Seafood Paradise Creamy Butter Mud Crab topped with Coconut Crumbs ($128). It beautifully showcased the strengths of both restaurants, featuring Seafood Paradise’s succulent crab in its renowned creamy butter sauce, elevated by Gaggan Anand’s aromatic and spices-spiked crab curry.

The luscious and flavourful combination prompted us to order a second serving of fried mantous to mop up the sauce!

Stir-fried Live Tiger Prawn with Gaggan's Crab Curry Base 4.5/5

The Stir-fried Live Tiger Prawn with Gaggan's Crab Curry Base incorporates the same crab curry base minus the cream. The absence of cream allows the vibrant herbs and spices to shine more distinctly, especially after stir-frying with the meaty prawns.

Baked Jade Perch with Tamale Masala Sauce wrapped in Banana Leaf 4.2/5

A whole Jade Perch is marinated in a mildly spicy tamale masala sauce before being wrapped and baked in a banana leaf. This method of preparation ensures that the fish meat retains its juiciness.

Seafood Paradise Mee Goreng with Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh's Masala 4.2/5

The last creation of this collaboration is the Seafood Paradise Mee Goreng with Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh's Masala served with Papadum. This twist to our local mee goreng sees a robust infusion of malasa spices with flavours leaning more sweet.

This rare collaboration between between Seafood Paradise and Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh by Gaggan Anand is definitely worth a try, especially if you are a fan of seafood. I would highly recommend securing a table through https://bit.ly/ReservationsatSeafoodParadise before heading down.
