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.
