168 Curry Chicken: Discovering Delicious Chicken Curry at Old Airport Road

Introduction to 168 Curry Chicken

168 Curry Chicken is a well-known eatery located in the Old Airport Road Food Centre, celebrated for its home-style chicken curry. It’s the perfect pit stop for anyone craving traditional Singaporean cuisine.

Highlights of the Chicken Curry

A truly delicious chicken curry is characterized by the aromatic scent of coconut milk and tender chicken pieces. At 168 Curry Chicken, a bowl of chicken curry is not just a meal; it’s a delightful culinary experience that feels as comforting as home-cooked food.

The restaurant serves chicken curry with various carb options such as rice, noodles, bread, or prata. You can even opt for a large bowl of curry to share, priced around S$27 (approximately 420,000 VND). This makes for a fun dining experience, especially when you're with friends or family.

Enjoying the Tasty Prata

During my visit, I paired the chicken curry with prata, and it was truly a match made in heaven. This dish costs S$7 (around 117,000 VND) and includes a bowl of curry along with a piece of prata. What sets this prata apart is its perfect shape, unlike many places. As I tore into the prata, the crispy sound confirmed its delightful crunch.

The prata here is exceptional, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a tempting buttery flavor. It’s not too thick, and when dipped in the curry, the taste becomes even more irresistible. However, we regretted finishing it too quickly; perhaps the restaurant should offer extra prata for those who want to indulge more.

Analyzing the Chicken Curry

The chicken curry at 168 did not disappoint. The thick curry, with its vibrant orange hue, has an enticing aroma and a hint of spice. The flavor is quite familiar, reminiscent of a comforting family meal. With about three small pieces of chicken, the meat is tender but not overly abundant.

The curry also contains large, soft potato pieces that pair perfectly with the savory sauce. While the chicken curry is delicious, the combo with prata feels a bit lacking and slightly pricier than average, likely because it only comes with one piece of prata.

Final Thoughts

168 Curry Chicken is worth a visit if you’re seeking a cozy chicken curry experience at the Old Airport Road Food Centre. Although the prices are a bit higher than other places, the quality of the food is outstanding. If you’re looking for a heartier meal, I recommend opting for curry with rice or noodles instead of prata. I will definitely return to try more curry and see if I can order extra prata to satisfy my cravings!
