Editor’s Note
Last updated 21 Jul 2026
Our take on Beach Road Scissor-Cut Curry Rice is that it remains a heritage spot, offering a hearty and generous plate of curry rice, typically priced between S$6-10 depending on your selections.
The signature thick curry gravy and black sauce are applied liberally, which some find comforting and others describe as 'jelat' or too heavy, especially for a late-night meal.
While long-time patrons note a slight dip in consistency over the years, the core appeal of an affordable, satisfying meal persists.
We'd recommend being polite when asking for extra curry, as staff responsiveness is noted to improve with a friendly approach.
While some find the taste average and not worth the hype compared to other curry rice options in Singapore, its historical significance and generous portions make it a worthwhile visit for a first-timer.
The recent addition of PayNow as a payment option is a welcome change for many.
Best for those seeking a nostalgic, no-frills meal, but be prepared for potentially cold food during off-peak times.

What customers say
Beach Road Scissor-Cut Curry Rice is a popular, late-night spot known for its generous portions of thick curry and black sauce, often priced affordably.
While some customers find the food comforting and a good value, others feel the taste is average, not worth the hype, and can be too "jelat" (rich/heavy), especially for supper.
There are mixed opinions on food temperature and consistency, with some experiencing cold dishes, though the recent addition of PayNow is a welcome change from the previous cash-only policy.
