Beach Road Scissor Cut Curry Rice is a legendary Hainanese curry rice restaurant in Singapore. Get more details here: You hear a lot about Hainanese chicken rice in Singapore, which is considered one of the national and most beloved dishes, but you dont hear so much about Hainanese curry rice. Beach Road Scissor Cut Curry Rice is a famous restaurant located along Jalan Besar in central Singapore that has been serving Chinese Hainanese curry rice for generations. They have a loyal local following, and just about the entire time they are open, they are busy with customers. They are open really late into the morning, so you can get your late night fix of greasy topping all smothered in curry over rice late into the night. Beach Road Scissor Cut Curry Rice is called scissors cut because of how they assemble your plate of food. You get in line at the front of the restaurant, and theres a big glass cabinet of different deep fried and braised meats and vegetables to choose from. You can choose as many or as few as you like, and they will grab each piece, chop them up with scissor in a few swift motions. Its really amazing to watch them use scissors, clanking and slicing in pure harmony and with such expertise. I ordered a piece of fried chicken cutlet, which got sliced up in seconds, a piece of braised pork belly, and a piece of tofu. Once all the crispy and salty meaty ingredients were put on top of my rice, the entire plate was smothered in a thick and sticky brown gravy curry sauce. I could tell it was going to be gooey and sticky from the moment he put it on, and it definitely was. The flavor of the curry was quite mild, not too strong of a curry powder flavor, but almost more like a brown sticky gravy with just a pleasant curry taste to it. The crunchy and salty Chinese meats on the bottom added to how interesting and and comforting the dish was. Thank you to everyone who recommended this restaurant Address: 229 Jln Besar, Singapore 208905 Open hours: 11 am 3: 30 am daily Prices: About 3 5 SGD depending on how many toppings you order How get there: You can either walk from Farrer Park or Lavender MRT stations

Mark, ever since you started uploading the Singapore food videos, I always cringe at the selection of food of each video. I knew even before watching that you wouldn't like it. The worst of all is eating chicken rice at Tian Tian. When I saw you uploading this video, which feature my favourite supper hangout place, I knew for sure you gonna like it. I haven't even watch the video yet though. So I may be wrong. Fingers crossed

Anyway, another great vid. Your description of food you eat is detailed and definitive as always. You are just so great and wonderful at what you do. Awesome

I've not eaten from this stall for like ages after I stopped working in that area. And unless the recipe's changed, Mark ordered wrongly. The correct combo for this particular stall must have are pork chop, pork belly, cabbage and a fried egg. The chicken wing is optional as I personally find it just too much trouble for this dish.

On why the vendor uses scissors. During the olden days when they were still street vendors and Singapore was still part of Malaya. Gangsters roam the streets and fights are very common. So to prevent gangsters from snatching their cleaver during fights, they use scissors instead as a more safety measures.

It still amazes me how you get such a large amount of food for such a small amount of money. Does anyone know if it's relative to what the locals earn and their cost of living? To buy a small chicken breast uncooked from the supermarket it would cost me between US4 to US7.

+ExploreList Hi, it is a common food you can find it easily but not many taste as good as this. This is the only stall I will go to when I have cravings for Hainanese curry rice. The rest of which you can find may not be so delicious and unforgettable.
