Hainanese Scissors Curry Rice(海南剪刀咖喱饭)
In our SG Retro Series 2, we pay homage to Hainanese Scissors Curry Rice(海南剪刀咖喱饭). Drenched with different thick, gooey, curry sauces and braised pork sauce, it is a delightful mix of tastes in every mouthful. But why is it called ‘Hainanese Scissors Curry Rice’? The original stall at Telok Ayer market started in the 1930’s and in those days, there were a lot of gang fights around. Whenever a fight broke out, they would reach for the cleaver used for cutting the food at the stall. To reduce the fatalities during these fights, the owner switched to using scissors instead to cut up the dishes.
Aesthetically inspired by the Good Morning Towel, this is one of three designs celebrating traditional Hainanese dishes.
