For those who are connoisseurs of curry chicken dishes from the Straits region- this is the Nonya verson, which tends to be more Malay with a stronger hint of coconut. It is milder (or some will call this "weak")with a smoother aftertaste than the Indian chicken curry or the more Chinese version (found in Singapore or Penang). It reminds me of the gravy that you find in the Malay longtong dishes. All in all, pretty decent considering this is a packaged spice. Low additives (e.g. MSG) make this appealing for the more health conscious.

I lived in Singapore for 7 years and while I am by no means a curry expert, this curry does remind me of the ones I had in Singapore. It is very easy to make. I use 4 -5 drumsticks. I par-cook the potatoes in the microwave and add them to the pot when the chicken is part way done. Serve with rice. Delicious!

I cut up the chicken and brown in oil in a pan, then cut up a yellow onion, 3 cloves garlic and brown them also. Add the packet of Singapore spices, one can chicken broth, and one can coconut milk. Simmer on lowest heat 1-2 hours. Sometimes I add extra yellow curry. Serve it over rice with condiments.
