EasyCut Curry Rice is an establishment that has been sitting around in our to-try list for a while — managed to learn about its existence whilst passing by the area; these folks are situated within the Coffee Sense coffeeshop that can be found at the foot of Blk 181 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 which is a short walk away from Mayflower MRT Station. Taking up a corner stall unit, EasyCut Curry Rice should be fairly easy locate considering our the signboards of each stall within the coffeeshop are rather large here — just look out for the stall that has illustrations of Hainanese-style curry rice on its signboard. Despite the signages suggesting that the stall serves up Hainanese-style curry rice in fixed combinations of elements that constitutes to a set, EasyCut Curry Rice also doubles up as a stall serving up Chinese-style mixed economic rice with patrons having the ability to mix-and-match the various dishes that they desire and without having to commit to the braised sauce and curry gravy as well.
Going for our usual order whenever we visit a stall serving up Hainanese-style curry rice, it was needless to say that our choice of order would be the Braised Pork + Cabbage + Egg. On first look, the Braised Pork + Cabbage + Egg is drenched with loads of braising liquid and curry gravy — so much that the dish was presented to us in a format that looked like a beautiful mess and was more then sufficient to go around all of the components on the dish. Digging into the gravy-loaded rice, we did notice how the curry gravy did come with a thicker consistency that one would typically expect out of Hainanese-style curry rice — rich but with a mild hint of curry spices whilst not being particularly spicy; something which would probably do well for those whom have a lower tolerance to spiciness. The addition of braising liquid provides more depth and another dimension of savouriness to the curry gravy. The braised pork here does seem to have absorbed the flavours of the braising liquid fully; the meat does carry a good balance of lean parts and fatty parts which gives sufficient bite without being difficult to chew — all that without carrying any undesirable porky stench. The braised cabbage does come with a soft bite and comes with a neutral note that keep things light from all of the meat, carbs and gravies on the same plate, while the sunny side-up comes with a fully-cooked egg yolk and does not carry any unpleasant hint of overused oil.
