Singaporean Chef Damian D’Silva’s Signature Chicken Curry | Over To You - Damian D’Silva

Chef Damian D'silva knew from a young age that if he didn't learn his grandfather's cherished dishes, he would never taste them again once his granddad was gone. Understanding food as more than just sustenance, it became a connection to one's roots, a celebration of unity.
With his unique blend of spices, Chef Damian’s Chicken Curry packs a depth of flavour and richness unmatched elsewhere. Each bite, perfectly balanced with heavy spice and the chicken’s sweetness and velvety curry texture, evokes nostalgic comforts of home.
In every simmer and stir of Chef Damian’s Chicken Curry, there’s a whisper of gratitude to his grandfather’s legacy - a testament to the enduring bond between food, family and cherished memories, ensuring that his heritage remains a vibrant part of Singapore’s cultural tapestry.

I think he’s a voiceover talent too. Love his voice.

[@rosieraven1603]

I love the way you spoke about heritage and cooking with your heart… I remember how my late mum felt about her cooking and how she cooked with her heart. I’ll definitely try this curry chicken recipe and hopefully, it’ll turn out as good and delicious as it turned out in your video. 🙂 Nothing beats my home country food and I miss Singapore food very much.

[@themeatmensg]

The food cooked with love is always the best, we truly hope you get to eat them soon ❤

[@nelishasunderasen2755]

I love your vibe chef Damian. I love the life lessons along with the cooking lesson. I grew up helping my mum in the kitchen, cleaning, peeling and chopping… I learned a lot. Can’t wait for your next video. ❤

[@themeatmensg]

Thank you for your kind words! It's so nice to hear that you have your own cooking life lessons! ❤

What a beautiful, thoughtful man!

He truly is! Do read up more about Chef Damian D'silva and his stories!

[@simplyme3306]

Thank you Chef Damian! This looks like the kind of curry I like! I truly regret not learning my grandmother's curry rempah (Malay style with the candlenuts, galangal etc)🥲She usually used the mortar and pestle. Then she would cook a whole wok of the rempah and distribute to us different families. We were all spoilt.

[@themeatmensg]

Wow, that sounds amazing! We would love to be spoilt by your grandmother's recipe too 😭

[@Gc-dn2pw]

Thankyou chef Damien. This is curry texture n thickness I like. Looking forward for the recipe soon!

[@wl4006]

Can't wait to cook this. Thank you for sharing your family's recipe , Damian. Agree with everything you said about knowing and preserving one's heritage. I am hainanese and often think fondly of my grandparents, dad and aunts when cooking their recipes. Now I tell my son what home-cooking means to me when i cook him his all time favorite Hainanese beef noodle soup.

[@themeatmensg]

That is wholesome! What does home-cooking mean to you?

[@quincygovin3728]

I love when people cook with heritage and heart in mind. And I am a strong believer of preserving and expressing culture through food. As a product of a mixed race marriage (Chindian with Tamil, Peranakan and Hong Kong Cantonese roots from Malaysia and Singapore) and having lived extensively in Asian countries, I have a strong affinity for South East Asian cuisine. And Chicken Curry pretty much epitomizes the broad spectrum of the 'same-same but different' notion across these countries. I love it! One correction though - Sotong Masak Hitam is not exclusive to Singapore. Never has been. It is a classic Malay dish also enjoyed by the Peranakan. I've also had it several times in Indonesia. Unlike shrimp or prawns, sotong (squid/cumi-cumi) is less popular these days as a singular dish and the Masak Hitam method is an acquired taste and can be visually unappealing compared to the more familiar Sotong Sambal (with Petai please!). Happy cooking, and continue to spread the heritage! 👍👍

[@themeatmensg]

Wow, this so lovely to hear, we're so glad you resonate with Chef Damian's Chicken Curry! It's also so interesting to see the different variations of food (such as Sotong Masak Hitam) from the different countries and differently they react to it!

[@lunastarr1925]

Encik Damian is a very motivational person

[@themeatmensg]

hehe he is! You should read more about him!

[@ZailaBakar]

Born in JB Johor, we've always had sotong masak hitam ( squid in its ink) it is a Johor dish. Johor and Singapura were 'one' 80 years ago....

[@themeatmensg]

Right! It's so fascinating how food gets dispersed overtime because of geographical circumstances as well!

Yeah I’m thrown off by the term Eurasian curry. What’s the Euro influence here? Potatoes and tomatoes that are native to South America? Were natives of SEA confused about these fruits and vegetables and what to do with them until European traders said “Throw them in the curry and thin out the broth!”

Great curry . But a very fundamental great mistake in classifying the Sea Gypsies population as malay or Melayu or Malai as spelled in British legal records. The sea gypsies is brown skin aborigines but not the same as malay or Melayu. Malays or Melayu are not natives of peninsula malaya , Malaysia, Singapore or even in southern Thai . The word Melayu originated from Jawa, Indonesia which means criminal fugitive and the land they ran to is called Tanah Melayu. Singapore was discovered by the British Sir Stamford Raffles . He recorded sighted a few sea Gypsies only when he landed in Singapore and there was no record of him ever sighted any Melayu or malay. The southern and certain western part of peninsula malaya have linked with Sumatra, Indonesia during the 300 plus years of Dutch rules. That is the reason the Melayu abdooos from western and southern part of peninsula malaysia originated from Sumatra despite their blatant denial. Those from the north and East Coast of peninsula malaya originated from Jawa, Indonesia. There are many small tribes of genuine natives of peninsula malaya and malaysia, they are called Orang Asli and Orang Asal , who are made up of kadasan , Dusun, termiah etc. As undeniable fact the Eurasian, Siamese etc have been habitants of peninsula malaya much longer than many malay abdooos in peninsula malaya.
