Beach Road Scissors Cut Curry Rice

Extremely overrated. One of the most disappointing lunches I’ve had in a long time. The $5 curry rice with chicken chop, egg and long beans may sound affordable, but the food was cold and the taste was mediocre at best. Serving food cold already ruins the meal before we even talk about taste. A cheap price does not excuse poor quality. The $4 pork rib soup was honestly embarrassing in terms of presentation. It came in a big bowl with so little ingredients that it looked like a bowl of broth with a few pieces thrown inside. This is NOT about me being unable to afford $4. I have no problem paying $4, $5 or more if the food is worth it. The issue is that what was served simply did not look or feel worth the money. If ribs are expensive, use a smaller bowl and present the portion properly instead of making it look miserably empty. The seller eventually refunded the soup, which I appreciate, but that does not change the overall experience. I also seriously question all the hype surrounding this place. When a stall receives so many glowing reviews, customers naturally expect something decent. Overrating mediocre food only sabotages the next customer who trusts those reviews, travels down and wastes a meal opportunity trying it. My lunch break is limited. I could have eaten somewhere else and had a proper, hot and satisfying meal. Instead, I wasted it on cold, below-average food that was nowhere near the standard the reviews made me expect. To make the experience even worse, shortly after eating I developed stomach pain and had to keep running to the toilet. I cannot prove what caused it, so I will not make that accusation, but it certainly completed an already terrible lunch experience. Cold food. Poor presentation. Below-average taste. Completely overhyped. If I had known beforehand what I was going to be served, I would have walked straight past this stall. Definitely will not return.

Unlike the name of the restaurant, Beach Road scissor-cut curry rice is located on Jalan Besar, Singapore. It's a 8 minute walking distance from City Square Mall. It's 2 units of shophouse connected in the center through a door, with the food and cashier area on the corner shophouse and a simple dining setting on the other side. We ordered by pointing out what we saw on the food display. Chicken katsu, pork belly, pork ribs, eggs, and many more. After selecting all the toppings, they poured a generous amount of curry sauce to cover them all up. It's one of the best meal we had in Singapore. Highly recommended!

This is a popular curry rice stall near Jalan Besar/ Little India area. There is always a queue of customers when I drive past. I was in the area around 1.45pm and was craving economy rice, so this came to mind. They open from 11 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. daily. So you can dine here after a late night out. They occupy two adjoining shophouse units at the junction of Jalan Besar and Kitchener Road. The unit closest to the traffic junction is where you order food and you can dine in at the neighboring unit. They have a total of outlets across Singapore, such as Orchard Ion, VivoCity, Upper Thomson Road, Clementi and Bishan. They have quite a variety of dishes to choose from, including pork cutlet, chicken cutlet, braised pork belly, chicken wings, fish cake, potato hash browns, prawns, egg, tau pok and more. What I found interesting was the wooden bucket behind the counter, covered in white cloth, that they keep their rice in before scooping it out for customers' orders. I had a plate of rice, fried pork cutlet, egg and stewed cabbage (ko lei chye), drenched with their signature curry sauce and braised sauce. It costs $5. At first glance, it was hard to discern what was on the plate, as the thick curry sauce and braised sauce covered everything. I don't usually mix everything up before eating and I start eating from the side of the plate. As I started digging in, I could pick out the items. Overall, the taste was good. There was a good amount of pork chop on my plate. The stewed cabbage went well with the sauces. Recommended!

Ever since the closure of the Geylang branch, I have been having cravings for scissor-cut curry rice. I must say that parking at Jalan Basah or Kitchener Road is challenging. In the end, I've decided to park at Jalan Basah Plaza, which is just adjacent to the shop. After a stone's throw walk, we finally get to pick what we wanted to eat. At about 7:45pm, there were 2 persons in the queue in front of me and there were plenty of seats in the next door unit. After picking the usual favourites, we sat down next door to savour their signature generously ladened curry and braised pork sauce rice. Couldn't wait to dig in to those savoury cabbage, braised pork, chicken cutlets, prawn fritters and fried eggs. I must say it was satisfying and it felt great making a trip down there. Counting the days till I return.

Pretty good curry place! Visited for the fame, place wasn’t too crowded at my time of visit, ordered a bunch of menu on my curry rice. Curry was rather watered down than I expected, unlike Japanese type curry, more like Indonesian or Malay type. Unsure if the shrimp fritter wasn’t meant to be crispy but mine was rather dull and too doughy. Dishes weren’t the hottest as they were on display, but I enjoyed the curry rice with the pork chop! Should visit when the menu are all fresh for the best experience. Pretty spacious place, might be packed during peak hours, but otherwise awesome!

Been customer at this joint for more than 30 years and every time I come again every time it feels worse Dun eat in. The place have a bad musky smell of cockroach droppings and old carton boards. I felt sick just minutes in starting my meal. Best to take away. Not coming again

The Classic Curry Rice well known for using a scissor to cut up the dishes. The curry is very mildly spicy but frangant with coconut milk. Must try the curry chicken wings and pork meat with dark sauce.

A really bad experience at the counter! The server were very good but the AUNTY IN THE COUNTER AH is a really rude person. IS THAT THE WAY YOU TALK TO YOUR CUSTOMER? I’m asking nicely about the quantity and price and suddenly shouted already?
