Question 2

Is Monster Curry halal?

Accepted Answer

No. Monster Curry is NOT halal. Menu includes pork katsu and other pork items. For halal Japanese curry, try Sukiya at Century Square (halal gyudon with curry option) or Tokyo Shokudo at Tampines Mall (halal ramen with curry elements).

Question 3

How much does Monster Curry cost?

Accepted Answer

Mid-range with generous portions. Individual curry sets S$12-20. Monster plates (35cm sharing) S$25-35. Jumbo plates (41cm) S$35-45. Curry Ramen S$12-15. Omelette Rice S$12-15. Sides from S$5. Most individuals spend S$14-20. Groups of 2-3 can share a 35cm plate for S$25-35 total (S$10-15 per person — excellent group value).

Question 4

What are the plate sizes?

Accepted Answer

Two signature plate sizes: (1) Monster Plate — 35cm diameter. Enough for 2-3 people to share. This is the iconic Monster Curry experience. (2) Big Monster Plate — 41cm diameter. Enough for 3-4 people. The Instagram-worthy option. Both plates feature a mountain of rice surrounded by curry and your chosen toppings (katsu, ebi, fish, shabu shabu, etc). Individual portions are also available for solo diners.

Question 5

What should I order?

Accepted Answer

Must-try: (1) Pork Katsu Monster Plate (35cm) — the classic. Thick-cut crispy pork katsu over rice, drenched in 14-spice demi-glace curry. Share between 2-3. (2) Jumbo Ebi Prawns — whole prawns that are genuinely jumbo-sized. A crowd favourite. (3) Best of Both Worlds Omelette Rice — omelette rice split between tomato sauce and curry sauce. Visual and delicious. (4) Curry Ramen — for those who want Japanese curry with noodles instead of rice. Choose your spice level — from mild to intense.

Question 6

What is demi-glace curry?

Accepted Answer

Monster Curry's demi-glace curry is not a standard Japanese curry. It is made with 14 different spices and vegetables, slow-cooked for up to 2 days to achieve maximum depth of umami flavour. Demi-glace is a French culinary term for a rich, reduced brown sauce — Monster Curry applies this technique to Japanese curry, resulting in a sauce that is darker, more complex, and more flavourful than typical Japanese curry blocks. The slow-cooking process develops layers of sweetness, spice, and savoury depth that standard curry cannot achieve.

Question 7

Is Monster Curry kid-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and kids love it. The giant plates are visually exciting for children. The curry is available in mild spice levels suitable for young palates. The omelette rice option is particularly kid-friendly. Sharing a monster plate as a family is a fun, interactive dining experience. The Tampines 1 ground floor location is easily accessible with strollers.

Question 8

What spice levels are available?

Accepted Answer

Monster Curry offers multiple spice levels for customization: mild (for children and spice-averse), medium (balanced heat), hot (noticeable kick), and extra-hot (for chilli lovers). The spice level applies to the demi-glace curry sauce. The underlying 14-spice flavour profile remains even at mild levels — you do not lose complexity by reducing heat.

Question 9

How does Monster Curry compare to CoCo Ichibanya?

Accepted Answer

Both are Japanese curry, but fundamentally different. Monster Curry: demi-glace style (dark, rich, 2-day slow-cooked), giant sharing plates, more theatrical/Instagram-friendly, EN Group. CoCo Ichibanya: standard Japanese curry rice (lighter, sweeter), individual portions, more customization (rice amount, spice level, toppings), build-your-own format. Monster Curry wins on spectacle and sharing. CoCo wins on customization and solo dining. Note: CoCo Ichibanya does not have a Tampines outlet — Monster Curry is the only dedicated Japanese curry restaurant in the area.

Question 10

Does Monster Curry have delivery?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Available on GrabFood, foodpanda, and Oddle. Curry rice travels reasonably well. However, the monster plate sharing experience is dine-in only — you cannot replicate the visual impact of a 35cm plate via delivery. Individual portions are fine for delivery. The Curry Ramen is not recommended for delivery (noodles absorb curry and soften).
