Public Service Announcement:

The folks at No Name Hainanese Curry Rice at Beo Crescent are finally back after 3 months!

The coffeeshop has been spruced up and no longer looks old and dungy with stained floor and wall tiles. They have also thankfully installed strong wall fans at their outdoor seating so that we no longer need to sweat through our curry png.

What has not changed though is their food and the long lines. I was there at 1030 am on a weekday and had to wait an hour for my food. This was not helped by several massive takeaway orders ahead of me which held up the line.

So do come back and sappork!

Traditional Hainanese curry rice located at a corner within an old-school coffee shop. Like a normal cai png stall, we get to choose if we want to have our ingredients placed all together on a plate of curry rice or have them served on separate plates. We ordered the crispy pork chop, tau pok, braised pork belly, stewed cabbage and cereal prawns served with rice dosed with a trio of curry, braised sauce and chap chye gravy.

The crispy pork was a popular choice among diners with almost every table ordering it. It was fried till crispy and it is very addictive. The tender with melty layers of braised pork belly soaked up the braised sauce well that comes with subtle herbal notes. Stewed cabbage was well seasoned and cooked till soft. Another popular item was the crunchy and deshelled cereal prawns that consist of coarse bread crumbs, cereal and egg. All these are best enjoyed with a plate packed with flavours, rich and not overly cloying curry rice 》$17

Visit my fav curry rice before the coffeeshop is close for renovation from 6 Sept 2022. Heard that they are not coming back after 2 months but while I in the queue, ppl told me that they will be back once renovation completes. Anyway, eat first in case they are gone.

This popular curry rice attracts long queues even on weekdays so you can imagine the snaking queues on a late Saturday afternoon.

I think it's quite overhyped though because I wasn't wowed at all by the curry nor the liao? It all amounted to a whopping $15 too when I didn't even order much meat.

My hubby and I had strolled over to this hawker stall after wolfing down the Fishball Mee Pok at Havelock Road Food Centre. Hence, I wasn’t famished when it came to our turn, which explains why I did not over-order. Our modest (by my standards 😂) spread comprised of deepfried pork chop, curry sotong, braised “tau pok”, fried eggs and stewed cabbage which we savoured with white rice drowned in curry.
Going to be honest. I have never considered Hainanese Curry Rice to be all that exciting in terms of aroma and flavour but it sure makes up for that with a multitude of textures.
