Nana Curry Rice

It wasn’t where I was looking to eat, but I’m not sorry that I ended up eating here.
Nana’s curry shop sits centrally on a fairly small food court. We came by at around 8:20pm on a Monday evening, a time that wasn’t too busy, there was no queue and quite a few tables were free. I can imagine that at a peak time for dining there would be some competition for places to sit.
I ordered the curry mutton with toast whilst my partner ordered the set meal. The curry mutton really boasts a delicious rich and creamy curry sauce, a little spicy but it is very tasty. As has been observed by other Unilocalers, the mutton is a bit tough and a bit scant.
On the other hand, the set meal comes with curried vegetables, a bit of chicken, and a generous serving of rice. The curry here is quite watery and lacks the richness present in the mutton curry. I felt a bit dissatisfied with the flavours here.
Had I but only tried the curry mutton, I would have given four stars for the meal, however given the toughness of the meat and the lack of flavour in the set meal I feel a three is a more appropriate score.
An afterthought: The aunts serving at the time were really nice people. I’d like to go back to try the fish head curry.

the standard of the curry has dropped tremendously. there was only one chicken wing for $ 4 portion of curry chicken. the vegetable in the vegetable curry is so soggy which taste like overnight one .not worth the visit any more.

I used to visit this much more often, when I stayed in the East.
Now that I have moved, my only motivation to visit Bedok is actually this fish head curry. It has not disappointed me yet. The vegetables in it are tenderly soft & the fish tastes as good as ever. Of course, the spiciness of the curry is always the highlight for me.
The additional highlight is the newly renovated food court is cleaner & brighter than it used to be. Thus, it is definitely more pleasant to have meals there.

My absolute favourite curry joint in Singapore.
Can’t quite remember how I discovered this place, but I’ve been coming here eversince my studying days at Temasek Poly.
I always go for the curry chicken and toasted bread, and have basically never been disappointed.
Some things to note: Due to the limited space in their toaster and during peak periods, the bread can often be a little soft (ie not toasted enough). Order after 8:30pm and you may get quite diluted curry.

Probably the biggest draw of the entire food court! We usually go for the mutton or the fish head, or both. The mutton gravy is thick and spicy, but not overly lemak. Goes very well with rice or bread, though there’s never enough curry! The fish head is fresh, and the veggies boiled to delightful mushiness. I recall instances of buying an entire loaf from the convenience stall next door, just to soak up the curry. Good times. Only drawback is that the queues do get unbearably long. Imagine queueing all the way, and the dude in front of you is ordering four sets of mutton for takeaway and there’s none left for you — major face palm. True story.

I must admit, I have been eating at Nana in Bedok for a very long time. Over the years, I have found that their flavour and standards have improved and maintained its consistency. This shops specializes in curry, and only curry. You can have your choice of fish head, chicken, mutton, or vegetable curry. There is also an economy set available as well for those who want to have a mix of vegetables and meat.
The curry is thick and spicy, but not too heavy as they use less coconut milk in their recipe. I love the flavour of the curry — it’s different from the other curries you get and has a distinct taste that goes well with bread or rice. Very often, i drink the gravy by itself too!
My favourite dish is the chicken — always very tender and tasty. The mutton can sometimes be a bit tough if it hasn’t been cooked long enough to tenderize it. I quite enjoy the fish head as well, as the fish is usually very fresh. The vegetables, I find, limp and soggy at times, but when they’ve just cooked up a fresh batch, it can be very enjoyable as well.
They do charge for a gravy refill, but that only sets you back by 50 cents. They do give a generous portion of rice, though the rice is nothing to shout about. The bread is toasted and crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, perfect for soaking up gravy with. However, the bread turns quite hard if it’s been left out for too long.
The food centre is quite small, so it can be difficult to find a seat during the peak hours during lunch and dinner.
