Reviews Curry Leaves

Fast fresh tasty Malaysian food. The best original crispy royal canal. Unique wholesome hearty.

I think the reason why this place has low ratings is because its truly an authentic no frills malaysian restaurant. Food is GREAT and CHEAP! It's no frills but service is actually okay. Better if you speak cantonese lol! Got my favorite malaysian hokkien mee. Stir fried with lard. YUMMY! Free tea the moment you sit down. Cute outdoor dining area too.

I have been going here for many years. While the kitchen has difficulty accommodating dietary restrictions such as vegetarian alternatives, the staff make an honest effort and are successful in delivering authentic Malaysian cuisine and prompt service. Their curry is amazing.

I love Malaysian food so Curry Leaves has been on my to-try list. I finally paid a visit here with my newborn son. It was not easy since the restaurant is kind of dirty, small and crowded. However, I was very happy with the food. We had the roti bread and it has a nice curry flavor. The stir fry rice noodles comes in big portion and is peppery and has tons of shrimp. We also had their Prawn Mee and the broth has a very thick seafood taste with hint of coconut milk. It is a good solid bowl of noodle soup. The price here is cheaper than Sentosa around the corner but also less elegant. If you want a low key quick meal, Curry Leaves is a good choice.

I\My family and I loves it Rice Roll with a mixtures of stuff minced fish paste into various types of vegs. like the eggplants, fresh soft tofu, bitter melon, fried tofu, fish ball, cuttlefish ball and many other ingredients. You could asked for it to be cook dry with the option of dipping it into a sweet bean paste sauce or their awesome Sambal Balacan a chilies paste of the shrimp paste made from Msia. It pretty spicy which I am now a fan of it I always like the ones that I made myself but got to salute them for being quite close to my liking as I am pretty good at cooking all type of food from Spore and Msia. Especially Curry and Sambal types and most types of Peranakan food. But watch out for the curry soup and the clear soup it contains too much MSG in which I am not a fan. You will know that its too much MSG if you find that after an hour or less of eating food that is cooked with too much MSG, it will makes you so thirsty that no amount of water could stop that side effect of thirst in your throat. I cooked all my food without the used of MSG that dreadful stuff not only does you harm as well as in area in your body that you can not see nor feel. All Asian restaurants here add MSG to their food as it saves them having to add too much of the real stuff it will cost them a more money but they will try to be as authentic as possible. I cooked my curry without coconut milk as I am not supposed to eat anything that is High in Potassium as well as saturated fats for medical reason so I cooked them without the use of it and my food tasted fabulous too.

What can I say about dim sum that hasn't already been said? Every Saturday used to be family dim sum day, but as I grew older the tradition began to dwindle away. Every so often, I walk with my grandparents over to Lake Pavilion for dim sum. It's incredibly packed and loud, but the dim sum has never been disappointing. I like the variety of dim sum and the freshness of it all. If I had to rate, it would be 4.5/5 for dim sum and the deduction is due to the noise level and crowdedness. On to the dinner side: one of my favorite places for dinner is at Lake Pavilion. I used to frequent Tung Yi Fung in Flushing, but my family now prefers the closer Lake Pavilion. I love their veggies (watercress with garlic and tofu/mushroom dish), seafood selection (prawns and fish that I never know the English name to), and salmon fried rice. Oh yeah, soup is pretty hearty as well! Yum. Dinner time isn't as noisy as dim sum -- you actually hear what people are saying! I'd definitely recommend coming for dinner. The portions are decent for the price and I have found the food to be consistently delicious.
