My ‘Hock Hai’ Curry Noodle

The beauty of left-over Curry Chicken

Chicken Curry always taste better the day after. The flavours are more intense, the spiciness is less sharp, and somehow it tastes sweeter. And, we more often than not, cook too much curry. Eating it with rice or bread again the next morning seems a little too much, or it is just plain boring.

Following my post on My Elusive Grandma’s Singapore Chicken Curry, I would extrapolate the use, or the prevention of wastage, of leftover chicken curry. Therefore I will introduce my very own ‘Hock Hai’-styled Curry Noodle.

Remember the long queues back at the Hong Lim building for this infamous curry noodle? I’m so surprised that they have since moved to the Bedok Central Hawker Centre from those days. And the queues are still as long. But somehow, I feel that their standards have dropped.

Hock Hai are now at the Bedok Central Hawker Centre!

Now they also offer satay bee hoon. It kinda makes me feel that they have lost their spark from their own Hong Lim Building days.
