My dining experience at Tangs Market: "Hainanese Curry rice"

One of the things that I appreciate about local Singapore food is that it's relatively affordable and it also tastes good.

Upon visiting Tangs Market, I went for the Hainanese Curry rice! Considering the complexity of the dish, I wonder how did they make it delicious and affordable as well. For the meal & drink, I only spent about S$6.00 (4.42usd).

I had the Fried fish with curry sauce while on the sides are sunny-side egg & cabbage. The Hainanese style curry is a lot different from the Indian style curry, it is more on the sweet-creamy-savory type of curry. There isn't any hint of chili/heat on the sauce.

The fried fish was cooked in advance and so the batter isn't that crispy anymore, however, the fish meat is still tender & moist which is acceptable for my preference.

One thing that I enjoy on this meal, is when I cut through the egg and the yolk is still creamy. Its combination with the curry sauce has added an extra creamy texture to the dish which I really like since the fried fish has a tendency to become dry after quite some time.

The cabbage was prepared in an interesting way, instead of a green-ish crunchy cabbage, it was done in a slow-cooked preparation. It results in a soft side dish that actually compliments the dish as well. There is also a hint of sweetness to the cabbage.

So, for my overall rating, I would say it's a fabulous meal considering its cheap price. If the fish was fried fresh before I eat it, then it would make the dish even better. One thing that I want to commend is the sauce since it's the one that really brings the goodness of the dish.
