Hainanese Curry rice is perhaps one of our local comfort foods. Sloppy with gravy and stewed cabbages but so satisfying with the must-have pork chops. So I went on a little hunt for the top curry rice spots.
The traditional Hainanese curry rice consists of braised/fried pork, braised cabbage/ chap chye and of course, loads of curry. These style of curries are not the usual types with strong coconut creaminess and curry powder flavour. Instead, they are usually light, sweeter and only a tiny bit spicy despite its very similar appearance to other strong curries.
For good curry rice many of us are willing to travel far and wide because well…it’s pretty rare, the take back of an amazing curry rice with paradoxical layering of chap chye, pork chop and a multitude of messy sauces is worth it.
