Mary is a retired widow but still very active in the kitchen. She offers a rare-in Singapore, Kerala Indian home meal set, with over a dozen dishes and it's stuff like nothing we find in Singapore Indian menus. The spread is simple but executed so diligently. The dry style coconutty Krill and the Fish Thoran was magic over rice (as was the lot), like a kind of spicier hae bi hiam and meats like the Mutton Peratal had a masala base that was not the same ol'same ol'. The spiced Moru Buttermilk Curry was addictive and so easy to like even for a first timer. The one that stunned us was the dried yoghurt chilli, hardly spicy and crispy and beats a regular achar anytime. There was a raw banana and jackfruit seeds stew that came across like dry potato curry. You get the well loved Payasam pudding for sweets and she changes her menu depending on what the wet market seller has for her. She takes up to a group of 10 (pre-Covid) but do check with her on what is the limit she can accomodate in her pleasant and comfy house in the east.
(Click to watch video) The flavours of the archipelago are largely influenced by Indonesian cuisine. The world fought a Spice War in Moluccas in Indonesia over rights to sell exotic spices. They gave the world icons like satay, beef rendang, soto ayam, and the popular nasi goreng..but there exist other great cuisines and dishes from other regions there- like ketoprak from Jawa and Gudeg from Jogyakarta and of course Balinese nasi campur and babi guling
