New Scissor-Cut Curry Rice Restaurant

Serving a well-known style of Hainanese curry rice, the name comes from pair of scissors used by a skilled server to cut up big pieces of meat (or squid) before serving the customer’s plate.

Sitting in a quiet little corner off the chaotic streets of Geylang, you can spot it by the bold signboards that bare the stall’s name, just off Lorong 35. For those who don’t really fancy curries, this joint also offers a signature dark sauce as a gravy for your plate. Otherwise, the curry served is also good for those who don’t take spiciness well, being comparatively mild and less gooey without compromising on flavour. So if you prefer a less sticky texture to your curry, this is a place to visit.

When Joel’s not partaking in one of his shameless eating sessions, he likes to think of himself as a sponge – absorbing the mysteries and beauty of our world – be it through a good book or a wacky jaunt in a foreign country.
