I was walking along Jalan Besar in search for good food and found this old, humble looking, 2-story shophouse at the junction of a crossroad. In fact, Beach Road Scissor-Cut Curry Rice have been around for a very long time. It is one of the first few Hainanese Scissor Cut Curry Rice in Singapore and many hawkers have started to copy its way of using the scissor. This is probably the best thing on earth!

This is probably the best thing on earth! The braised pork (lor bak) meat is oh-so-heavenly which you can’t miss. The pork slices are soaked in the shimmering braised sauce from the oil of the fatty meat. I can feel that the pork slices were braised long enough that I can sink my teeth right through the delicious meat. What are you waiting for? It is screaming to you right now that it wants to be in your stomach.
The prawn fritters (ngoh hiang) was served to me cold and soggy. It was too oily for my liking too. This is very common when deep fried food is left in the cold for too long. Perhaps placing it under heated spotlights will help to keep it warm to prevent this sad fade of a wonderful delicacy. I do find the water chestnuts in it pretty interesting though.
Put them all together and you will have a hearty meal of the traditional Hainanese Beach Road Scissor-Cut Curry Rice. I can’t remember the prices of the food but it’s about $11+ for 2 person with all these dishes and 2 plates of curry rice. This place is definitely worth checking it out if you’re looking for really good and traditional scissor-cut curry rice.Looks like a perfect supper place to fill your hungry tummy with curry rice and delish side dishes!
PS: Oh, do also try their pork cutlet as it was sold out when I went there!
