Curry, curry how we love thee.

This is THE Hainanese Curry. A crowd favorite of my pack. They will literally eat this every day, if only i'd say yes. 😂 (if they knew how close, i was about to crumble & give in too!) At long last, after endless requests, I got to make this temping version at home, with the taste ~exactly like Encik Tan's. My boy, while having it for dinner, gave it an 8️⃣, then a 9️⃣, then finally "Can i give it a 🔟?", he asked. 😂 just kept tastin' better & better, no? 😅 🌶️ Tools Cooking pot deep enough for sauce & pairings Ladle 🌶️ Ingredients Curry mix, 1 pk.
