Tucked away in the corner of this new hawker, I had hoped the food would be served piping hot and maybe offered as a set meal with a choice of meat and curry vegetables. The curry itself was flavorful and comforting, though the chicken could have used more seasoning. The curry vegetables were nicely done, cooked until tender, and the toasted bread was crispy and satisfying.

Chicken chop curry rice comes with a generous piece of chicken chop and potato curry. The thick chicken chop has good flavour. The piece of potato is perfectly cooked. The curry sauce is nonya style, thick with strong coconut flavour. It would go nicely with prata.
Service is OK but a little slow.

The curry here is really good. It is quite tasty, curry consistency is slightly on the thinner side. It is really mild spicy which I would prefer it to be more spicy.
Chicken was really tender. Bite off bone easily. Potatoes were good too, there were 2 cut ones.
They do not cook much quantities per day as a number of items were out of stock when I bought mine. Looking forward to try the mutton curry next time.

Humble stall that sells curry with fish, chicken, mutton & vegetables. Queued for 10 mins before reaching my turn. Ordered the Curry Mutton with rice that cost $6.50. Wanted to order Curry chicken cutlet rice but I had to wait as they were frying new batch of chicken cutlet.
The taste of the curry was nice, it was thick, flavourful and not too spicy. There was a good potion of mutton meat too.
Will return to try the other dishes as I enjoyed the curry. Also the stall owners were both nice and friendly so another + point.

Tried their Curry Chicken with plain rice several times. They have a unique curry recipe of their own which I have not seen elsewhere in Singapore. The standard is there for the cooking and curry is freshly cooked daily. They give chicken wings and potato in the curry. The meat are tender and potato are just nice, melts in your mouth without disintegrating into the curry.
Finished every single drop of the curry.

Curry Cravings at Anchorvale Village: A Taste of Nanyang Nostalgia I spotted Nanyang Curry at Anchorvale Village today, and the “Homemade Curry” sign immediately caught my eye. There’s something about that phrase simple, bold, and full of promise. I’d heard whispers that this was the same beloved Nanyang Curry from Yishun Park Hawker Centre, now revived by the founder’s daughter. That alone was enough to pique my curiosity.
Walking into the shop, I was greeted by a cozy, no-frills space a humble spot where the focus is clearly on the food. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere had that comforting, typical hawker stall vibe. It felt like the kind of place where people come for the food, not the frills.
On a mission, I stepped up and ordered the Curry Chicken Chop Rice (Full Piece) for just $6.50 no holding back for my first try. When the plate arrived, it looked great, but the chicken chop wasn’t as crispy as I’d hoped. It also wasn’t as juicy, and the whole dish was a little on the colder side.
That said, the curry was the real star. The richness of the sauce, with just the right amount of spice, immediately hit the spot. It wasn’t overly creamy or greasy just deep, comforting flavors that made me want to drown my rice in it. The chicken might not have been perfect, but that curry kept me coming back for more bites.
For $6.50, it wasn’t a bad meal, but I’d probably give it another try to see if the consistency improves. Next time, I’m eyeing the Curry Chicken Whole Leg hoping for a juicier, more flavorful experience, and a chance to truly savor that curry!

I instantly fell in love with the thick pasty curry and I believe the owner use milk instead.
I would say their curry has the taste that is unique to them. Delectable Hainanese-style curry chicken.
Unfortunately they were not able to roast the bread as it was my first time trying.

Polite stall owners! Ordered the curry chicken chop rice, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was crispy, the curry rich and flavorful. Comfort food, very satisfying!
Henry Cheng
Curry was creamy and yet not too thick, so it goes perfect with white rice. It was savoury with nicely balanced saltiness and sweetness. The potatoes were tender and fluffy, so it was really easy to eat. The not so positive thing I would say is the chicken. It was slightly chewy and tough. I think it needs to be cooked a bit longer. Portions wise, it was just about right.

Curry Chicken Chop Rice @ Nanyang Curry
This curry is uniquely chinese, it doesn’t have the strong complex spice of the Indian varieties, nor the sweetness of Japanese, but it’s pretty close to the tze-char style ones, that is to say, a little creamy, spicy and savoury.
The amount of curry was generous, and the chicken chop(cutlet?) was fried very well, a very crisp layer on top of tender meat, it’s already pretty good on it’s own but with the curry? It’s great!
That being said, the taste is quite monotonous and could get quite gelat. Thankfully a half-size chicken chop is also available. The one pictured here is full sized.
The price is also pretty decent from what you get, and anyone craving Chinese-style curry would be happy with this. Personal bias too because it tastes alot like the one my
mom makes.
9/10

Absolutely delicious plate of chicken cutlet curry here. Curry has that "homely" taste and also comes with a nice bit of spice. The chicken cutlery is beautifully fried and also has a good crisp to it. 10/10 will recommend.

Honest review:
-Curry: very fragrant and delightful to drink, slightly less thick than those typical nyonya curry, I finished the whole bowl of curry.
-Chicken: slides off the bone, not the most tender but still very good, I wish they gave more than 2 pieces.
-Potato: pairs very well with the curry and chicken.
-Rice: must finish every bit of it with the curry!
-Price: $6.70 (before kopitiam discount) for whole leg with rice is a little pricey but I’ll still eat it regularly.
9/10, easily one of the best curries I’ve eaten in a while 👍

Ordered chicken thigh curry. Curry flavor was robust. Bread were soaking up the goodness of the curry gravy so well. Just a bit spicy, not choking. Potatoes were super soft. Overall a good meal. Price: $6.30 (after FairPrice app discount)

The Anchorvale hawker center is up and running!
I am excited to know my favourite nanyang curry has been found. Previously they were at Yishun Part hawker but suddenly closed down. When i saw this at the new hawker, i needed to satisfy my curry chicken craving.
The curry sauce is so good. Thick and fragrance. It goes so well with rice or bread. The chicken wing is chunky and the potato omg. Best.
The whole dinning experience was great.
I love this so much.
Must TRY!

Super Fragrance
Update: now fried chicken curry cost $6.50.
Chicken not the most tender yet not chewy but with super crunchy skin.
Best curry, creamy and coconut. I was serve with curry separated... Accident? Might be more in volume so I am not complaining.
Excellent comfort food that comes at $6. No wonder there is queue.
Thick creamy curry if it is up your alley. Not gala but the chicken might be, however it is not such a big portion that you will feel that it is oily. Super crispy but if I were to nitpick, meat is slightly mushy, you probably won't notice it unless you purposely remove the skin to taste.
Very polite owner, soft spoken an courtious. Like the uncle and auntie next door that just happen to make wonderful curry. Really refreshing to encounter humble hawkers who are many times richer than you, unlike those famous hokkien Mee stall in ghim mo and chomp chomp for example. Not sure why it is mostly popular hokkien Mee stalls that have guai lan owner.
They sells mutton curry, fish head curry and vegetable curry (at $3) as well. You can also choose to down those curry with rice or bread.
Edit: Tired out their mutton curry with rice for $7 + 60¢ respectively.
Firstly they actually added pandan into their rice so there is an extra layer of fragrance and sweetness to it. Their curry is excellent as usual creamy and thick. The mutton while obviously not those tender cut but it was so cooked down that they can be tore down with tongue. Tough meat done right. 2 big potato cut into half to top this up.
