Curry Times represents the expansion of Singapore's beloved Old Chang Kee brand into the full-service restaurant sector, bringing their decades of curry expertise from their famous curry puffs into a comprehensive dining experience. Conceptualized as a halal-certified dine-in restaurant, Curry Times aims to serve "the best curries that one can find" while building upon Old Chang Kee's rich heritage that dates back to 1956.

Curry Times' success reflects the growing sophistication of Singapore's halal dining scene, where established brands are expanding their offerings to provide comprehensive dining experiences rather than just quick snacks. The restaurant's active social media presence and strategic locations demonstrate their commitment to reaching both traditional customers and new audiences seeking quality halal curry experiences.

Curry Times Dry Laksa $11.90
✅ Laksa taste (especially the coconut flavour) is strong.
✅ Very flavourful and not too salty.
✅ Thankfully, it's not overly rich or oily.
❌ The portion is quite small, and there aren't many ingredients besides tiny pieces of fish cakes.
✅ Comes with 2 freshly fried crispy spring rolls.
Overall, it's a nice dry laksa, but I don't think it's worth the price and portion size.

Lots of variety of local delights at an affordable price considering the standards and the service.
Lots of variety of local delights at an affordable price, considering the standards and the service. We had the Curry Chicken w/ Prata ($9.50), added on another prata ($1.50), the Dry Laksa Goreng ($9.90), and a glass of Honey Lemongrass ($2.50). The prata would be good for those who prefer soft and fluffy prata. The curry chicken was delicious, except for the fact that the bone-in chicken pieces were slightly undercooked closer to the bone. Thankfully, I didn't get a stomachache. The dry laksa goreng was pretty good and lemak, and the thick rice vermicelli used was firm and not mushy. The honey lemongrass came in a small portion, though. Overall, $28.06 for everything seems alright, considering two of us were so full afterwards, but do watch out for the chicken.

We went to the one at T3. Service was pretty quick and efficient.
Maybe it was the dishes we ordered, but the food was so-so. The nasi lemak rice and chicken wing were nice, but the ikan bilis was not as fresh.
The wife’s soya sauce chicken had reddish parts, so we left those uneaten. The dessert of sesame balls had skin that was too thick, but the sesame filling was nice, if too sweet.

We tried the one inside the departure area of Terminal 4. It was 11:45 am, and we were the only ones having lunch here. We ordered the nasi lemak with rendang set, as well as the soya chicken noodles, with two drinks.
It took them around 15 minutes to prepare the food, and you had to pick them up at a designated counter.
The nasi lemak was okay, and the rendang was not bad, but cold. The soya chicken was rather bland, and the chicken was not as tender as we would have hoped. For the price paid, the quality did not seem that good.
We had to use the kiosk to order, and that took a while. We were also struggling to pay with a credit card and only managed to do so on the fourth try. There was no staff to help us, even though we asked for help.
The decor is nice, but we will probably stick to their Old Chang Kee curry puffs in the future.

Every dish was lukewarm, not hot. The curry was quite disappointing (3/5). The Hainanese chap chye was too salty (2/5), but the nasi lemak was quite good (4/5). The pulut hitam was 3/5, and the pineapple drink was too sweet and artificial (1/5).

Although the service, system, and order were perfectly fine, the food has some serious issues. I was brought here by a friend for my first visit, and I am utterly disappointed. The curry was served cold! I understand that your food is premixed and made in a central kitchen, but at least make the effort to serve it at a minimum lukewarm temperature. It was cold, and you charged $12.90 plus GST and service charge. Even the plain coffee was better!
With all the Nanyang cafe culture mushrooming and offering better menu varieties, even if OCK is ahead of its time opening in Singapore, if this menu doesn't innovate or improve on food quality, I expect it to close soon.

Another all time favourite joint to satisfy local cravings for chicken curry. Located at basement 2
Another all-time favourite spot to satisfy local cravings for chicken curry. Located at Basement 2 of Changi Airport Terminal 3, Curry Times offers a large variety of local favourites, including chicken curry, nasi lemak, prata, laksa, and many more. If you plan on dining in, be sure to either make a reservation or arrive early, as there might be a queue during meal times. The chicken curry is still as good as before; the chicken is tender, and the curry is fragrant and flavourful with a good portion of potatoes. The Hainanese chap chye and onion omelette are also nice and tasty, pairing well with the chicken curry. The staff here are very attentive and friendly. Prices are slightly high but on the affordable side, averaging between $15-$30 if you order à la carte. If you are dining alone, I would advise choosing from the set menu they offer. Sadly, their homemade buns were already sold out, but oh well. I will try to be there early next time to grab them. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and will definitely look forward to going there again soon. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Another go-to place for lunches at work. My favourite has got to be the dry laksa; it's a big portion, flavorful, and has generous ingredients. I recommend the set lunch which comes with a drink and the dessert of the day (which could be a spring roll or a sesame ball).

The staff are really friendly and helpful, making this place shine. This cafe ventures into local curry puff selling. They serve signature Nanyang-style curry. Their chicken and potatoes are tender and soft in the curry. It's good for those who want a less crowded spot in the airport's public area to refuel. Other selections are not bad too, like their local beef stew and steam soup. If you still have some room, the kiosk selling their signature curry puffs is right beside it.

If you love curry and paofan, you can try their limited-time dish, the Chicken Cutlet Pao Fan, which is available until November 30, 2023. It features rice soaked in curry gravy with potatoes and carrots, topped with a crispy chicken cutlet. Each set costs $10.90++ and comes with a cup of barley drink. Their curry chicken with bread is also good. The staff are friendly and attentive too.
