Sin Chie Toke Huan Hainanese Curry Rice @ Upper Serangoon Road

Just a couple of steps from my place is a popular Hainanese Curry Rice at Upper Serangoon Road. This rustic eating house only opens at 6pm daily.

The first thing that caught my eyes was the steamed Minced Pork Patty that was shaped into a huge ball shape. The patty was nicely marinated with a springy texture.

Minced Pork Patty 4/5

The Sotong was a bit overcooked. It did not have the firm and springy texture. The sauce was also too sweet for me. I would prefer it to be on the spicy side.

Sotong 3.5/5

The Curry Chicken was not up to my mark. I find it too bland and watery. It was not spicy at all.

Curry Chicken 3.5/5

The Cabbage was soft and stewed perfectly retaining the sweetness of the Cabbage.

Stewed Cabbage 4/5

The thinnly sliced bread crumbed Pork Chop was a bit dry and tough.

Pork Chop 3/5

Overall I find this place is a bit overrated but then it is still very popular with people staying nearby. A queue can always be seen at the eating house. By the way, the congee here is pretty good.

No Name Hainanese Curry Rice @ Beo Crescent

During my previous visits to Beo Crescent Food Centre, I have always noticed the long queue outside this no name stall selling Hainanese Curry Rice in a run down coffeeshop. I finally found the time to check out the place and I was not disappointed.

There was not much varieties left when I reached the stall. The pork chops were unique, crispy and very good. Not the norm I have eaten at other Hainanese Curry Rice stall. The rest of the dishes which were commonly found at other Hainanese Curry Rice stall were nice too. Over all it was a satisfying and value for money lunch.

Beach Road Scissor-Cut Curry rice @ Jalan Besar

Don't ever be mistaken by this plate of ugly messy gooey rice. It maybe one of the best Hainanese curry rice you  ever eaten. Trust me, it's damn good. This is called "scissor-cut curry rice" because the dishes were cut up into bite-sized pieces with a large pair of traditional scissors.

The popular dishes were their braised pork, pork/chicken chop, curry chicken and stewed cabbage.
