I recently visited Curry Times at Westgate, owned by the well-known Old Chang Kee curry puff chain. The restaurant's retro-style ambiance, complete with waitresses dressed in Nanyang-style Chinese samfu, transports diners to a nostalgic era. In keeping with the theme, we ordered the curry chicken, which can be accompanied by either white rice or soft bread. The curry had a well-balanced flavour, with a harmonious blend of curry spices and the creaminess of coconut milk. Personally, I would have preferred a stronger spice base to make the dish more impactful. The Assam Batang fish fillet was appetizing, featuring a nice, but not too sharp tamarind note. The fish fillet was fresh, though the portion was a bit small. For shoppers at Westgate or JEM, this place offers a great option for an afternoon kopi or teh break with their famous curry buns. The restaurant also offers a variety of set lunch and dinner options during weekdays, making it convenient for busy professionals and shoppers. The prices are reasonable, especially considering its location in a bustling shopping mall. Overall, while some aspects could be improved, Curry Times provides a pleasant dining experience with its nostalgic ambiance and comforting dishes. I'm looking forward to returning to try more of their menu offerings.
