Similar to chicken rice, scissors cut rice was borne out of Hainanese immigrants who arrived in Singapore. While it may seem like a mess with white rice blanketed by curries and topped with a crown of meats and veggies, it is a glorious mess indeed. At Hainanese Curry Scissors Cut Rice you can either pick your dishes ala carte, or go with one of the five available sets: Curry Chicken Set, Pork Chop Set, Braised Meat Set, or the 4 Types Set that includes both curry chicken and pork chop alongside egg and veggies. Finally if you’re feeling extra ravenous, the 5 Types Set is similar to the 4 Types Set except that it comes with braised meat as well.
