Dickson's Fooday Review #280
It's time to explore curry shops again.
Zhuque Curry has always been on my curry bucket list,
but the location has been quite inconvenient,
so I haven't had a chance to visit.
This time, I happened to have an errand nearby,
so I made a special trip to try it out.
What sets it apart from other curry shops is
that there's absolutely no need to queue during meal times.
Maybe it’s because it was a weekday dinner,
so there weren't too many people.
I was lucky to arrive and get seated right away.
The curry menu is quite simple and straightforward,
divided into chicken, beef, or vegetable curry.
Other specialty curries include the cilantro butter avocado series,
and then you just choose mild or spicy.
It's a straightforward and no-fuss ordering method.
When ordering, if you want to try the spicy curry,
the staff will seriously warn you,
"This spicy curry is really hot!!!"
They hope you think it over before ordering 😂😂😂
Of course, I’d like to tell everyone,
if you’re not someone who can handle very spicy food
but want to enjoy the authentic taste of curry and curry rice,
I would really recommend sticking to the mild option 😂😂
Additionally, if you want dessert,
you can also add it to your order.
I personally think the desserts here are quite thoughtful and good!
The seating in the shop is indeed limited,
and it has an open kitchen space.
However, since there aren’t too many diners either,
you probably won’t have to wait too long to get seated.
Also, this curry shop offers free refills,
whether it's rice or sauce,
you can really eat until you’re full!
Considering that, I’d say the cost-performance ratio is quite high, right?
For those who love curry rice,
I think this place is definitely worth a visit.
Whether it’s their mild or spicy curry,
it’s truly worth trying.
Especially after tasting the spicy version,
going back to the mild version brings out a different flavor!

⭐️ Food section
On my first visit, my friend tempted me to try the spicy curry,
and the staff did confirm with me several times that I really wanted to order the spicy one.
But I thought, since it’s my first time, I should give it a try!
👉 Mixed beef and chicken curry, spicy $260
After I ordered the spicy curry rice,
after a few bites, I regretted choosing it
because the spiciness overwhelmed all the other flavors,
making it hard to appreciate the curry rice itself.
It just felt like I was eating spicy curry rice.
Since my friend who accompanied me ordered the mild version,
after I ate the spicy version and then went back to the mild,
the sweetness of the curry came through beautifully.
Maybe this is the saying that without comparison, there's no harm,
after eating the spicy rice,
going back to the sweet curry rice makes it taste even better 😂😂
As for the meat ingredients,
whether chicken or beef,
it's average quality, nothing particularly memorable or stunning.
The meat plays a good supporting role in the curry rice.
But anyway, my conclusion is
I will definitely visit again,
but I will order the mild curry rice to fully appreciate it.
After all, what I want is curry rice,
not spicy rice~~~
👉 Snowflake pudding $130
I must say their dessert is quite unique.
When the staff brought the dessert,
they held a cheese stick,
grating cheese powder over the pudding.
I think this part is more about the visual effect than the eating experience.
The pudding itself is quite nice,
but the use of cheese is generous and suitable for photos.
Plus, this snowflake pudding is really inexpensive,
so after eating super spicy curry,
I think it’s worth a try!
⭐️ Atmosphere section
The space inside the shop is quite large,
but since it's shared with other shops,
there's also a drink shop next door.
Thus, even though the space is big,
the number of seats is limited,
hopefully accommodating only six to seven groups of customers.
And the kitchen and dining area are connected,
so you can directly see how they prepare the curry.
Since the tables are quite close together,
you should also be mindful not to be disturbed by other diners next to you.
As a result, it can get a bit noisy during meals,
but it's still within an acceptable range 😂
⭐️ Service section
This curry shop offers very straightforward dining and service.
However, the staff are very humorous and fun,
inquiring about the level of spiciness when you order.
If you want to order spicy curry,
they really confirm with you several times.
And they joke that you have to finish it! 😂😂
⭐️ Price section
Zhuque Curry’s curry items are quite affordable and budget-friendly,
and the portions are decent.
Moreover, you can also have unlimited refills on rice and sauce,
which I think makes the cost-performance ratio quite high!
⭐️ Overall,
because this time Dickson had the spicy curry,
it’s really hard to fully evaluate the authentic taste of the curry.
Therefore, I will definitely come back next time.
After all, I want to order a mild curry to really try the original flavor of the curry.
This time, since my friend ordered the mild version,
I had a couple of bites,
and for me, perhaps because after eating the spicy curry,
I was particularly impressed by the flavor of the sweet curry.
So, I have a good impression of their curry taste.
I personally recommend friends who love curry to give it a try.
If you want to challenge the spiciness, you can also give it a shot!
