Why This Curry Deserves a Spot on My Top List
Dinner tonight was an absolute treat at the bustling Geylang Bahru Hawker Centre, where I made my way to *de’ Tandoor Homemade Masala Made With Heart*. From the very first bite, I knew this meal was going to be memorable.


![IMG-20250818-WA0061.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/curamax/Ep3gEmZTLhYmeECGpqJiLxfAzzee5ZA5nQQo5NrUFq2GsUBLrHiyTsDqwDtWVKxmrnC.jpg)


The dish came neatly plated: a perfect portion of rice, a side of crisp cucumber, a small bowl of curry, and golden brown pieces of fried fish waiting to be munched on. At first glance, it looked simple, but the aroma rising from that curry smells appetizing. I can tell that there's so many layers of spice, flavor, and taste.

![IMG-20250818-WA0060.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/curamax/23w2wS3Y4T1w7yQ3aNDJuNdczrMKVNBgEz4C5JZrNdzRJLJkNKKgfAu6Qd5pGCGLnHWuR.jpg)


The star for me was the curry itself. The spice level was just right, bold enough to give a gentle kick, but not overwhelming. I could savor every spoonful without breaking into a sweat. What impressed me most was the flavor balance: it leaned savory, with a subtle hint of sweetness that rounded off the edges beautifully. It’s that kind of sauce that makes you want to pour every last drop over the rice.


![IMG-20250818-WA0059.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/curamax/23wqrjroLVB5nnuQW1SyB8gzHApM7wYgoznrHy2V2E35okCUcqyvnG7ZxQ6TnDDypFqng.jpg)


Then came the fish. Thick cut, flaky, and moist on the inside, it felt substantial and satisfying. The fried outer layer held up well, it's a bit crunchy which is good and then the flesh is tender. I'm so impressed. It paired effortlessly with the curry, soaking up the spices while still holding its own. I would say that it's the highlight of the dish. I don’t always get fish this fresh and well prepared at hawker stalls.

The rice portion was just right, not overly generous, but enough to carry the curry and fish nicely. I actually appreciated that it wasn’t a mountain of rice, just a good, balanced serving. Alongside it, the crisp cucumber slices and a hard boiled egg gave the dish that extra touch of completeness, while the prawn cracker added a fun crunch.


![IMG-20250818-WA0064.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/curamax/Eoke1q1hTfvxWwkx3iUsSfmUfen3N2jvaqoQAiJisZhQJUhJNtasBcUr8EY17E8ti2p.jpg)


As for the ambiance, it’s the classic hawker centre vibe. Lively, packed with hungry diners, and just a little warm. There are fans overhead but couldn’t quite cool the evening air. Still, with such a satisfying plate in front of me, I hardly minded. The bustle actually added to the experience, reminding me why hawker dining is such a special part of Singapore life, great food in the middle of everyday buzz.


![IMG-20250818-WA0062.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/curamax/23vsLEFSqAQ9HigbxrNCQSnqUDLAHbqiXreAKALrbHQ3fPp7bT7qDWMJ7GKqhhxPUw74H.jpg)


By the end, I was full, content, and already ranking this curry among the top I’ve had in the city. De’ Tandoor really lives up to its tagline *“made with heart.”* You can taste the care in how they season, portion, and serve. It’s the kind of stall I’d happily recommend to anyone craving hearty, comforting curry without worrying about spice overload.


![IMG-20250818-WA0068.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/curamax/23ywqK8t6J5WSHxQN4ji2CJFv7TQ1zuJ7riEr1P5ANyoWiUs7MpfAYkDLZgQyjkf6sWLt.jpg)


Overall, a satisfying dinner that hit every note, flavor, portion, and value. Definitely a spot I’ll be keeping on my “top curry” list for future cravings.

You are lucky to find good food in a restaurant. Because it is very important: the right combination of spices and main food, juicy fish, enough rice. Which city in Singapore do you live in?
