Makan My Curry: Japanese Curry with Fukuda Eiko

We Singaporeans love eating curry. Assam Fish Head, Eurasian’s Devil’s Curry, Aloo Gobi and Tikka Masala – the possibilities are endless. How many of these curries have you tried? Makan My Curry brings Singaporeans into the homes of over 10 different home cooks to hear more about the processes and stories behind their curries and culture.

What is Japanese Curry?

Curry and rice might be just as popular as ramen is in Japan. The dish, brought into the Asian nation by the British, is usually thick and sweet. There are many ways to serve it. A popular option is to scoop a generous helping of the non-spicy stewed goodness over a bed of rice along with a side of fried meat cutlets.

About the cook

Food and cooking have always been in Ms Fukuda’s blood. Hailing from Sendai, Japan, her family runs a food business which connects restaurants with farmers and other agricultural players.

The first curry she ever made was for a home economics lesson during her primary school days. She only started cooking actively when she was an 18-year-old undergraduate living away from her family. Ms Fukuda moved to Singapore in 2007 and has since added fish head curry to her repertoire to cater to her Singaporean husband’s tastebuds. Ms Fukuda, a founding member of several restaurant chains and cafes in Singapore, is also an avid Instagrammer and can be found @one_dining_eiko. She said that food brings her joy and that she “loves seeing people eating and enjoying their meals”.
