Bought all the ingredients to cook curry.
Could not resist it, so had curry last night. Savoured every morsel of the curry sauce.
While I ate it, I felt so fortunate to be Singaporean - with proper housing, society with low crime rate, adequate amount of food at every meal, and especially lucky to have different types of food to choose from.
I will be having curry again on 21 August! -
I just had taopok and tempei curry - just as delicious as meat or fish curry.

Shanmugam clarifies \"curry case\"
http://news.xin.msn.com/en/singapore/article.aspx?cp-documentid=5166228
SINGAPORE: Minister for Law K Shanmugam on Tuesday clarified that parties involved in the mediation of the \"curry\" incident were not given a recommendation nor forced into settlement.
Instead, they are encouraged to work out a solution that both are comfortable with.
Mr Shanmugam was responding to a dispute handled by the Community Mediation Centre —— an agency under the Ministry of Law —— which has sparked a debate online.
The case in question happened some six to seven years ago, involving a family who had moved to Singapore from China.
They sought mediation because they could not stand the smell of curry coming from the home of their Singaporean Indian neighbours.
According to one media report, the mediator got the Indian family to agree to only cook curry when their Chinese neighbours were not at home.
Mr Shanmugam has clarified that the solution was agreed upon by the two parties, and not imposed by the mediator.
\"The parties are completely free to come for mediation. They are not forced to come, neither are they under any compulsion to come,\" Mr Shanmugam said.
\"And throughout the process of mediation, either party can walk off. There was no agreement that was signed or settled at the mediation. What happened, as told to us by the mediator, this solution was discussed by the two families, [between] themselves.\"
Mr Shanmugam urged Singaporeans to see things in perspective.
\"While it’s good that so many Singaporeans have come forward to protect the Singapore identity, at the same time, let’s not turn this into a xenophobic attack on foreigners in general.\"
Netizens have started an island—wide \"Cook A Pot of Curry!\" movement on Facebook, urging families to cook and share a pot of curry to \"celebrate curries as part of our way of life, and to share this celebration with those who are new to our shores\".
Mr Shanmugam said the mediation centre each year handles about 300 disputes between neighbours, the bulk of which are between Singaporeans.

what happen if the Indian family decide to break the agreement one day to cook curry while the prc family is at home? wonder will there be any penalty impose on them…

If I understand correctly, the \"Cook A Pot of Curry!\" movement is urging families to cook and share a pot of curry to \"celebrate curries as part of our way of life, and to share this celebration with those who are new to our shores\".
So, we are suppose to be cooking curry on 21Aug and MUST SHARE IT with those NEW TO OUR SHORES!! :siam:
I will try to invite my PRC frens to my curry dinner then...

I heard that the best curry spices are in Little India. Personally I don't cook on Sundays but can eat fishhead curry at a coffeeshop near my place. Definitely will support this movement but will it really be effective cos it could be one :censored: family spoiling the whole pot. *pun intended* Most PRC I know learnt to eat and love curry and durians. Maybe we should find out where this particular PRC stays and we bring our curry to eat with their Indian neighbours. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: More effective this way. :evil: :evil:

For once, the instant curry paste is going to run out of stock before Sun.. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rahrah: :rahrah:
I'm going to get my ingredients ready by fri then...
