We are still searching for a really good instant curry paste to replace our favourite, the A1 Mountain Globe brand, which is way too spicy these days even for those of us who are quite tolerant of anything that is very spicy.
One of the brands that I managed to get hold of is this one…
– the Singlong brand that is made in Singapore. In my mind, I was thinking that if it is made in that predominantly-nyonya republic, plus all the Malay and Indonesian influences left, right and centre, it should be very nice but of course, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
My missus took the meat curry one the other day and cooked some chicken and potatoes with it…
…and come lunchtime that day, we sat down and ate it with steaming-hot plain white rice.
My initial responses were it was spicy but not unbearably so and it tasted sweet! Somehow or other, we thought it was quite different from the curries that we had before but after a while, we eventually got used to it…
…and I thought it was quite nice, actually. My missus insisted that the A1 Mountain Globe brand is still the best but what is the use when it is so hot that nobody can eat it? I would not mind going for this one or the one that we tried not too long ago instead. That one was very good too!
