We went down to the Legendary Beach Road Scissors Cut Curry Rice to complete a Curry Rice Challenge! Beach Road Scissors Cut Curry Rice is a famous Hainanese Curry Rice shop located at Jalan Besar. They are a mainstay for late-night patrons looking for an affordable meal, closing only in the wee hours of the morning and a fully-loaded plate would cost between $4-6 dollars depending on your choice of toppings.
Hainanese Curry Rice is a uniquely Singaporean dish inspired by British, Hainanese and Peranakan settlers in Singapore. A standard serving would include a fried egg, pork chops, braised pork belly and braised cabbage piled on white rice before being smothered by a thick, fragrant curry. Different restaurants would have their own take on the curry and toppings provided, with the curry usually being thick but varying in taste.
For my giant plate, I requested 7 portions of rice, a pile of braised cabbage, fried eggs, braised pork belly, chicken chops, pork chops, curried chicken wings, deep-fried tofu and rounded it off with some assorted greens. As per their namesake, each meat item was cut upon serving with a pair of scissors.
This monster plate was then generously topped with curry, the tofu braising liquid and a spicy red gravy, enveloping the entire plate with messy goodness.
The curry was thicker than other places I have tried, barely sweet with a hint of spiciness. It could have been a lot more flavourful. The standout topping would be the pork cutlet, juicy on the inside with a crunchy exterior, with the mild tasting curry allowing the excellent flavour of the cutlet to shine. However, the pork belly was rather disappointing, bland and extremely chewy. Overall, the combination of the 3 sauces with rice and a side is a winning combination, especially considering the cost.
If you are in the area or looking a late-night supper, you could do a lot worse than Beach Road Scissors Cut Curry Rice.
