Muthu’s Curry: Singapore’s haven for Indian food

IMG_3038

A visit to Singapore is never complete without passing through the pretty and colorful shop houses of Little India. In Singapore, 8.8% of the total population is Indian, thus the influx of goods and services from India, including their cuisine. The richness of the Indian culture meets the diversity of local Peranakan heritage that produces a very lively and dynamic local cuisine distinctly Singapore.

My guide suggested that we dine at Muthu’s Curry for lunch on Day 2 of my Singapore visit. My friends told me that I shouldn’t miss the Fish Head Curry in Singapore and so I was very eager to try it at Muthu’s Curry.

Their wall is peppered with awards from various award-giving organizations. I figured it was all in the tasting. I was hoping against hope that I wouldn’t be disappointed. I was not disappointed at all. No sir, not at all.

That’s my guide, Toon Hee. Muthu’s Curry let’s you choose without having to ask for an explanation of the whole menu. For those unfamiliar with Indian food, such as myself, it really helps to see what the food looks like, rather than just try to imagine it. Curry is an English word derived from the Indian word “kari” which means sauce or gravy. One theory is that the Philippine dish “kare-kare” may have had its roots in Dravidian cuisine of using peanut sauce with meats, as is common with its Southeast Asian neighbors. Theory, not a rule. Could be wrong.

Chettinad is a region in Southern India which has been more famous for its food than its location. This dish is very good, even to the uninitiated like myself.

Masala is a mixture of spices more flavorful than curry, at least in my opinion.

Fear not, its not as spicy as it seems. When partnered with Naan (Indian oven-baked flatbread) it is incredible.

Muthu’s Curry is not outdated. Waiters use wirelessly connected Symbol (a PDA) where they just tick on the orders and it is automatically sent to the kitchen for preparation, as you tell your waiter. The result? Lightning fast service!

The star of the show, Fish Head Curry ala Muthu’s. It was delicious. The best I have ever had. The curry was not too hot, just right. The fish is tender yet a little chewy to the bite, which tells you that the fish they used is fresh.

Some Biryani rice, which literally translated means fried rice, but with spices. This Biryani rice is good enough to be eaten by itself. Still I had the curry mutton to down it with.

Curry Mutton at its finest. Go ahead, take a bite!

When you visit Singapore, don’t miss lunch at Muthu’s Curry. The average meal will cost around SGD $25 to $30 dollars. Don’t forget to have some of their red wine or their signature lime juice to go with all that curry goodness.

    Yeah, they all looked good! Though I must admit, I’m not much a fan of spicy food.
