Peranakan curry that gets better with time


By IAN LAU

Fish curry has long existed among local Indian, Chinese and Malay cultures, and it comes as no surprise that the Peranakan version has taken various elements from these different traditions and made it truly their own.

Unlike the Indian version, which may use the entire fish head and tends to be quite heavy on spices, the Peranakan use freshly ground spices but still add fish curry powder for the distinctive taste of fish curry.
