Editor’s Note
Last updated 21 Jul 2026
Our take: Beach Road Scissors Cut Curry Rice at Upper Thomson delivers on its promise of messy, authentic Hainanese curry rice.
We note consistent praise for the rich, flavourful curry gravy that generously coats the rice, often combined with a dark braised pork soy sauce for a unique taste.
The breaded pork chop is a standout, described as crispy, golden, and tender, with a savoury umami.
Other popular additions include stir-fried cabbage, curry chicken, and the Hor Bao Dan (purse egg) with its melty yolk.
While the interior is simple with vintage mosaic tiles and basic seating, it's generally clean and well-ventilated with fans.
However, some reviewers mention the dining area can feel warm, especially during busy periods.
We also observe that prices can add up depending on the number of items chosen, though a chicken chop, cabbage, hairy gourd, and sunny-side up can be had for $6.20.
The service is described as efficient and brisk.
We think this is a reliable spot for a comforting, no-frills local meal.
Best for a quick, satisfying lunch or dinner, but be prepared for a warm environment and potential crowds during peak hours.
