As i know there are two versions — the Chinese, India and Peranakan. There are the Chinese, Indian and Peranakan versions that vary in flavour and intensity of the curry. The Chinese version usually features a milder curry that is not so much of a spicy concoction, but still a very flavourful one. The Indian version lays on a curry that is full of bold intense flavours from the various spices used, while the Peranakan version features an Assam curry gravy which is sour and spicy.
