We went to Curry Sing because it is about to close down and serves an iconic HK curry.The owner of Curry Sing has decided to sell sandwiches instead of curry, so at the end of March, it will serve its last curry. The owner is a bit of a curry pioneer in HK and opened a string of places serving his signature 39 spice curry through the 1990s. This, his last curry venture is a small hole-in-the-wall that only does take away and delivery. We found it and ordered two vegetarian turmeric rice pots. After a few minutes, we went, bag in hand to find a spot to sit and eat. On the bench, we opened up the bag and pulled out two pots of yellow rice and two pots of curry. The rice was well seasoned, but unspectacular. It served well to soak up the curry. The curry itself was fine. Not the most exciting, but tasty and thick. The 39 spices were lost somehow and it felt like a bit of a gimmick, as a few less spices would not have detracted in any way from the flavour. The vegetarian came with potatoes, green beans and broccoli. While it tasted good, the broccoli was a little on the large side and would have been better in bite-sized chunks.All in all, a nice enough curry in huge portiions. As the meal was about $40 each, it was easily one of the cheapest stomach fillers we've had in HK. Worth checking out before it closes, but it isn't rocking the curry world.

朋友推介, 來試試.黃色招牌夠搶眼喎, 小小外賣店, 像是好用心裝修.因為約了朋友食飯, 不能吃太多, 點了基本的咖哩魚蛋先, 唔錯喎, 算彈牙, 最怕食到好粉的魚蛋. 至於辛辣度, 有多種不同辣度選擇, 我只輕嘗小辣, OK喎, 不太辣但又惹味. 看看招牌, 原來用了數十種材料做, 用心喎. 另一位爸爸帶住兩位小朋友來買, 佢地都話好食. 叫埋汽水一齊食, 正.跟住不如試埋串燒, 有好多選擇喎, 咩肉都有, 我選了雞及牛肉, 好多汁, 滿晒, 惹味.見到餐牌仲有好多小食, 和飯盒, 有機會要再來試其他了.

To begin with, I would like to thank my foodie friend Supersupergirl and the shop owner for inviting me to this tasting at “Curry Sing”.Despite not being a huge fan of the spice, I quite like the curry taste that adds a special flavor and mingles exceptionally well with a traditional bowl of rice. To accommodate Hongkonger like me, many restaurants nowadays allow their customers to choose the level of spiciness but few, after so many trials, has managed to impress, for it was either too spicy or not enough. So, I was rather intrigued by “Curry Sing” which boasts about its “Hong Kong Style” curry flavor. According to the menu, the curry sauce is made from a secret recipe of 38 spices which aims at giving us a unique taste of “sharp” flavor. So, as an adventurous food critic, why not give the shop a try and see if it really lives up to the expectation?The shop is more like a kiosk than restaurant, with no dine-in but takeaway only, which follows its theme of “Carry Curry Home”. One slight inconvenience is that its location is not so close to the MTR station, so don’t expect an easy and relaxed walk there.There are altogether five levels of hotness for you to choose, ranging from Cadet (for beginners) to Iron Man (not for human) and each 25% hotter than the previous level. After reading through the comments from my foodie friends, I pre-ordered the beef and fish fillet turmeric rice boxes, both only at the Cadet level for fear of the unbearable spice. The chef was also nice enough to offer some snacks of his recommendation.Curry fishball ($10/6pcs): The chef suggested us to try this on Ordinary Man to get a true taste of its secret curry sauce after patiently explaining that the real flavor is more likely to show for a higher level of hotness. Surprisingly, it did not taste as spicy as I have imagined and was indeed quite delicious, mainly for the fact that curry fishball is one of Hongkongers’ favorites, including me.Beef turmeric rice box ($38): Although my family would fancy a softer texture, I quite like the chewy feeling of the beef. The Ordinary Man level certainly tastes hotter and richer than Cadet, but I would still prefer to order Cadet because I think the spice will accumulate faster and heavier for Ordinary Man in the entire rice box than the tinier curry fishball and therefore get more difficult to handle.Fish fillet turmeric rice box ($38): This was just very ordinary fish fillet, and actually tasted similar to the beef rice box as a result of the same curry sauce. You can also find some trails of the many spices it used in the sauce served such as some leaves and stems which seemed inedible.The turmeric rice was absolutely dry and tasteless, as opposed to my original thought of a rather oily surface, but maybe it is a way for the restaurant to present the genuine and unique taste of its curry sauce.It was actually a little bit of a disappointment for not being able to try more snacks on its menu as I was expecting to get a taste of the Samosas and Spring rolls. Overall though, the curry sauce was a decent match with the turmeric rice without coming out too hot or anything, but I am not so sure of its uniqueness in taste compared with the other restaurants out there. That being said, Hong Kong Style or not, I think “Curry Sing” has made a good attempt at bringing in the spirit and healthy and less oil cooking formula.

When I read Ivy’s first review for Curry Sing I was attracted by the vibrant yellow coloured Tumeric rice.I had the impression it was an Indian joint but after reading the latest reviews I found out that was Hong Kong style curry which explains why there are no sag aloos or Tikkas on the menu.They serve curry fishballs and beefballs, which is interesting.The menu is simple, it is either beef, chicken, fish, PORK or vegetable!I emphasized the pork because HK’ers love pork as well as beef.For snacks they have skewers and the one I most wanted to try was the deep fried chicken skin which was another bizarre item on the menu for a curry place.But since Hong Kong people are really health conscious, this is now temporarily unavailable.Their curries are made with 38 spices which are displayed behind the counter.They used to have restaurants in Tsuen Wan.The concept of Curry Sing is an affordable Hong Kong style curry.When my order was ready, I was expecting the "usual" white plastic bags but it was a well designed sturdy glossy paper bag.The tubs they used were also nice sturdy plastic tubs which do not give out a CFC chemical smell that CFC ones do.The food was nicely labelled with stickers denoting which meats they were.Before the food was packed and cooked they let me take photos of the curry without the sauce so that I could see the chicken, beef, potatoes.There are five levels of spicyness for the curries, and for beginners I would recommend the cadet one, I also tried the ordinary man.As for the portion size, it was huge for $38, especially the rice~!!It is definately good for two to share and drinks are an extra $4.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Chicken thigh tumeric rice box:★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Beef tumeric rice box:★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Assorted skewers:Beef, Lamb, Chicken, Pork.All the skewers were strongly marinated but my favourite was the chicken and beef.I could not quite taste the lamb and it did not have any gamey taste to it either.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★As a summary, the taste of curry started off sweet, then the spicyness accumulated and got a bit too spicy.I liked the pieces of cucumber in the curry because they were quite soothing.For the choice of meats, there is not much difference in taste because they cook it with the same curry base, so it depends on your preference.I definately recommend ordering the cadet level for beginners!!There are also some off menu items such as curry crab, abalone and prawns which can be ordered in advance.

I saw Curry Sing when it first opened and, always needing new quick lunch spots, resolved to try it the next time I needed lunch out. I had assumed from the names on the menu (e.g. "pork turmeric rice box" that they sold something like biryani, not curry. But I should've guessed from the name *Curry* Sing that that wasn't true.The turmeric rice boxes are turmeric rice and curry, with the meat of your choosing. The curries don't seem to differ much other than what meat you choose. Each box is $38, though that appears to be a "special offer" and the normal price is $45 (+$4 for a drink). Still, it's a lot of food for the price. They have a sign up that says they only have 100 rice boxes a day during their "trial period," but I had no trouble getting one at 12:30pm and there was no line.Pictured here is the pork turmeric rice box. It comes in two separate containers, rice and curry. In my mind it's food enough for two people, and at the absurdly low cost of $38. The curry strongly reminds me of the Japanese curries you can buy at the supermarket in the retort pouches-- pork, potatoes, sauce, with a strong turmeric flavor. In fact, my big criticism here is that I found the turmeric a little too strong, and the dish too bitter. Not as horribly bitter as some curries I had screwed up cooking myself, but still pretty bitter all the same. There were lots of whole spices thrown in, though I couldn't taste any of them distinctly. Apparently you can order up to "Iron Man" spicy, but it normally comes "Ordinary Man" spicy. If I'd had known, I'd've gone with Iron Man, but as such this is Ordinary Man, i.e. only the mildest hint of spice. I also have to mention that the pork was overcooked and a little tough. A little better than average: C+This is the chicken thigh curry. I haven't eaten any of the curry at this point. If you'll notice, there's decidedly less of it than the pork curry (compare how much room is left in the two bowls). The discrepancy surprised me, though it's still a lot of food.The chicken curry is very similar to the pork curry, except you get less of it (apparently), and the chicken thighs are more tender, though still a little bit stringy.We also had the samosas. They were on the small side, very thin and crisp, nice and hot, with a mushy undifferentiated interior. At $16 for 4, it's what you might expect, if there weren't this amazing food stall right next to Curry Sing with huge $4/piece dumplings. Still, these were alright, and I'd have them again. Good: BAll in all, the place is pretty average. Great for a quick takeway lunch, but nothing I'd look forward to. C+
