Seek out this rare hawker centre gem in Pasir Ris for authentic Peranakan curry, a cuisine known for its labour-intensive preparation.

In their own words: “My last curry craving, we head far east to the neighbourhood of Pasir Ris. It’s a stall whose name is always fun to say out loud: Nonya Pok Pok Kay. The Pok Pok Kay is just a clucking of the chicken. Give me your best 'Pok Pok Kay'. Pok Pok Kay! This is Sarah. At 23, she decided to trade the corporate ladder for a life of curry. Authentic Peranakan food in a hawker centre is a rarity.”
