Third visit and unfortunately every returning visit seems to be more and more disappointing. The pork belly is slightly tough. I had the tomato soup base.

Taste: 3/5

Interesting concept of Japanese curry with different broth base (you get to select between seafood, tomato etc, can’t quite recall all the different soup bases) and thereafter, the level of spiciness you’d like. The place doesn’t offer every single level of spice each day, however, different spice levels in each range (mild, spicy and Super spicy?) are available for choice. Note: Surcharge applies for extra extra extra hot option.
Very pleasant experience trying out the Hokkaido soup curry that is pretty unique. Tastes great and definitely is worth trying out!
The food at Sama Curry & Café Singapore was different from the normal Japanese restaurants that I eat yet. They also have a wide range of soup base which is really interesting and has different flavour and taste. Highly recommended!
Delicious soup curry , beautiful presentation and great flavour especially when mixed with the rice !
Was a fragrant, flavourful and heartwarming bowl of soup. The menu choices available allowed us to customise our food to our personal requirements (e.g. spice level) so you can always try something a little different each time. The only downside was that the soup was too good, we couldn't have enough of it!
The curry udon was fantastic! It was my first time trying udon with a curry base and the flavour of the curry was superb. will definitely go back for more!
What a hidden gem the OUE downtown gallery has to offer. I must say that the croquets are the best I’ve ever had in Singapore - crisp to perfection on the outside and flows with silky constancy on the inside. I’d have ordered 2 or 3 more servings if I had known better! Definitely coming back for more.
The food at Sama Curry and Cafe Singapore was amazing. Definitely a first for me, with the curry's unique taste, variety of options and side dishes offered. In particular their range of soup base each with its own distinct flavour. I especially enjoyed the side of Hokkaido Imomchi cheese. Highly recommend this place.
Got the Marathon Chicken, because who can resist a whole chicken thigh and drumstick! Chose the tomato soup base and the level 5 spice, which really wasn’t spicy at all. Will keep taking baby steps up the spicy ladder till I find the right level for me, haha.
I love soup, so this soup curry is especially appealing to me. Yum!
3.5 munchies: The Ocean Trophy for my curry choice comes loaded with prawns, squid, scallops, blue mussels, and assorted vegetables such as baby corn, broccoli, eggplant, green pepper, potato, and Japanese soft-boiled egg. With three categories of spiciness to choose from – Baby Bear (Levels 0-5), Adult Bear (6-15), and Crazy Bear (16-30), I played it safe and chose Level 15 which wasn't spicy enough. I then picked the sweet-savoury tomato soup base that had a slightly thicker consistency. The umami-ness of the soup stock complemented the curry spices and seafood really well! I also liked how the assorted vegetables remained fresh and crunchy despite being simmered in the tasty broth. #Burpproved

This features slabs of moist, tender pork belly, savoury fatty in flavour, along with perfectly executed grilled vegetables, including a medley of baby corn, broccoli, eggplant, potato, carrot, chili, and a halved soft boiled egg.
.
The vegetables hold up well, retaining their firm crunch, and lend good earthy vegetal sweet flavour, with a hint of smoky on the palate.
.
The fusion coconut soup base is a robust broth of coconut milk and spices soup curry.
.
It's medium thick in texture, with a bold savoury spice milky flavour. Mild in heat too, as I choose a spice level of 13, just enough to tease the palate.
.
Yum.

Ever tried Japanese soup curry? Apparently it’s quite a hit in Sapporo and usually comes with vegetables and a variety of mains to choose from.
It’s also really fun as you customise your dish via the steps below:
1. Choose your main - chicken cutlet, pork loin, cheese, seafood, hamburg etc.
2. Choose your spiciness level - level 0 to 30 (they classify the spiciness levels into Baby Bear, Adult Bear and Crazy Bear)
3. Choose your soup - tomato, japanese, coconut, shrimp.
It’s not your usual Japanese curry fare; SAMA’s curry had a little hint of spice herbs which may tip your perception of japanese curry a little. I’ve got a feeling it won’t please everyone’s palate. You may try if you’re feeling adventurous and go for a higher spiciness level if you’re up for it.
Yummy soup curry with spicy levels from 0 to 30. I chose Oink Oink ($15.90), pork with tomato based curry. The service crew shared that some felt level 30 was spicy, some didn't. That meant it wouldn't be too spicy for chilli lovers. Since level 30 might cover the taste of the food, I went for 25. Pretty oily, but tasted good! Rice was nice and fluffy. Tomato and coconut curry base is thicker, and I prefer tomato because the coconut taste was quite strong.
From being able to choose the meats (Hungry Bear featured here) to soup base (Tomato, Coconut, Japanese, Shrimp) and finally spiciness level🔥 (tried level 20 which was actually pretty manageable :p) .. don't miss out on that awesome creamy oozing crab cream croquette too! Curry was on the soupy side, meats were really tender but the vegetables stole the show providing that perfect balance 😋 Meal of 2 mains and a side dish totalled to about $50!

Juicy tender chicken leg with assorted vegetables with the choice of cooking over 4 curry base; tomato, coconut, Japanese & shrimp.

For the more adventurous, feel free to go for spice level greater than 20. 😎
😲 It's a mistake if you expect the typical Japanese curry, because this is meant to be drank like soup! In fact, I would say to imagine a soup with lots of spices 🤣 Firstly, choose the main ingredients. I like my Oink Oink with tender pork belly and I'll probably try the Cheesy Bear with fried chicken and cheese next. Secondly, choose your spiciness level, I wanted 14, but was told no even numbers?! So it's 13 for me and I'll recommend that you be brave and just go for the crazy bear levels! Lastly, decide on your soup base with options like Japanese, shrimp, coconut or tomato. I love the tangy but not spicy broth! I'll like this with even more broth! There's already veggies like baby corn, green pepper, potato, eggplant, carrot and broccoli etc, but if you chose the Vegetarian Bear toppings you get even more vegetables like cabbage, lotus root and pumpkin 😁
Oink Oink ($15.90)
The Oink Oink @samacurrysg featured delicious and super tender pork belly. We selected the tomato curry base for this and when selecting this option, I think it is best to go easy on the spiciness level otherwise the heat may interfere with the sweetness of the tomato. Loved the pork belly, just wished the portion was a little larger. I think there were only 2 very thickly sliced pieces of the pork in the bowl.
Hokkaido Crab Cream Croquette ($6.50)
The Crab Cream Croquette @samacurrysg is a must-order! Crispy and fried till golden brown on the outside while witnessing an oozing creamy centre is definitely food porn worthy. Tastes superb too!
