Droolworthy Nonya Curry at Hyde Park Cafe

Posted on September 29, 2006 by bookjunkie

My tastes buds confer that this is the best Nonya/Peranakan home-style curry you can get in Singapore. Rich and flavourful, it is just the right combination of lemak (richness of coconut), assam (sourish flavour), sweet and spicy. The several accolades … Continue reading →
