As a true blue CHS student & Hwa Chong-ian, Curry Wok is no stranger. In fact, we were most probably the first batch of customers when Curry Wok opened its doors :) No kidding! After being so used to the “Ke3 Ai4 Ji1” Fried Chicken, Thai Noodle House, Prince Cafe Western set meal & a Chicken Rice cum Tze Char stall (for which I somehow can’t recall the name), Curry Wok was a good alternative.
Anyway, in those good old days, it used to be the case that we walk in with school uniform, pay 5 buck for a minimum of 4 pax & the uncle will feed us with around 3 dishes and some lime juice.
Since I have left the college and moved out the such a food haven, my craving for Curry Wok & its food have been building up. Oh, and did I mention? It serves good Nonya food. One day came when we trooped down all the way from Clementi and charged at the food. Well, I hope I made a decent recommendation.
Btw, pay attention to the plates that were used to serve the rice & braised pork, pretty nostalgic stuff.
The big picture (Fried Tofu, Ngoh Hiang, Braised pork knuckles, Otak & Nonya Chap Chye)
The Drinks: Grass Jelly in Lime Juice for those who really love sour & wanna ticker their taste buds a little. The lime juice is still good as it was. Fresh blast for the mouth & mind, sure to keep me awake in a lazy afternoon like this.
The appetizer(?): Fried Tofu & Ngoh Hiang and the chilli
The Ngoh Hiang is one of their signature dishes at Curry Wok, it was just good as it used to be also. Maybe just a little soft :( I’ll be sure to come during early lunch hours so they don’t get cold & soft. The chilli is shiok too! Goes way too well with the rice that I had to ask for a second serving LOL.
Another close up of the Ngoh Hiang
Braised pork knuckles! Another must-try dish at Curry Wok. Contrary to its looks, the pork doesn’t taste oily at all! In fact, it must probably taste less oily than the average KCF chicken.
