Casuarina Curry Restaurant (Macpherson)

This was pretty good, with a spicy kick to it. Enjoyed it 👍🏻

Generous portion, yummy thick curry, runny egg on top of fragrant biryani rice. Happy to know Casuarina Curry is open at the East, no need to travel to Jalan Kayu anymore 👍🏻

A very curry-looking meal I had on a relaxing Monday night. My first time here and here's my take:
-Try the other things beside the pratas. I ordered a plain prata and it was way over-fried :( To the extent it was a bit hard.
-The murtabuk was pleasantly surprising. It was really good. And it has a lot of meat 👍🏻 Go for that!
-The butter chicken was slightly below average with regards to the taste, but there was a lot of chicken inside despite the tiny bowl.
-Teh Aliya was 👍🏻
-Chicken curry was 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Fish curry didn't suit my liking as there was a pretty strong fish taste to it but the fiancé loved it.

Rating: 3/5
Price: 4/5 (total cost was around $18 for two. Relatively cheap)
Final comments: Go for the curry and murtabuk. 😊

What's a supper guide without at least one spot for amazing roti prata? We had high hopes for the biryani, but as it turns out, pratas are still what Casuarina Curry does best. Like its original Casuarina Road location, the Macpherson outlet also stays open till midnight. You won't go wrong with the Plain Prata ($1), which is crisp on the outside and wonderfully fluffy within. If you're up for it, try not to miss the generously stuffed Banana Cheese Prata ($3.50) that comes drizzled with a sweet-salty caramel sauce — it might sound strange but it is so good! If you're hankering after something more substantial, we found the Bee Hoon Goreng ($3.50) tastier than the rice. Wash it all down with a good ol' Teh Tarik ($0.90).
Avg price: $5 per person

Don't even bother trying anything else cos what you're really here for is their plain prata. Not sure if it's because they incorporate ghee (clarified butter) into the dough or use it to pan-fry (or both 😱), but Casuarina Curry's plain prata has this unique enriched buttery flavour you can't find elsewhere. Get at least one plain prata or the Plaster — it uses the same base but with added oozesome liquid gold. 🍳

In the mood for Banana or Cheese? Get a combination of both for the shiokest sweet-savoury prata combo finished with squiggles of caramel sauce. 👅💦💦

Cheese prata and plain and a cup of teh halia. Have grown to love this restaurant. Prata is crispy. Love their tasty curry! Teh halia is full of ginger, very shiok. Ask for less sweet.
