Almost every country in the world has some form of curry that they call their own. Whether it’s a delicate Thai Curry, using the holy combination of sweet and sour with lots of coconut milk, or the more robust curries of India and the Far East, where curry powder and chilli play a leading role, it is the one dish that you should always try when visiting a new city or country.

At The Oyster Box, the incredible Curry Buffet in The Ocean Terrace offers a range of curries from around the world, to suit every palette and preference from vegetarian options to the Oyster Box’s famous mutton curry, prawn and chicken curry, and freshly prepared sambals. With a delicate blend of spices and fresh herbs, each curry is a masterpiece in itself.
