Once upon a celebrity diary, a foreign talent, came to Singapore, got famous, listened to his feng shui master to change one character in his name, went in search for late night supper, committed a crime and changed his destiny forever.
That late night supper , is none other then this little secluded and simple curry rice stall.
Been around for years, the curry rice has become synonymous with good late night supper to taxi drivers and night owls over our small island for two simple reasons: (i) the ridiculously long opening hours and (ii) their curry rice.
The rich colour of the curry and meat gravy is so drawing after a hard day's work.
The food selection is simple and traditional - fried eggs, pork chops, stewed pork, white cabbage etc. I was slightly disappointed though, the pork chop was cold and evidently of an entire morning's shelf-life. Loo's curry rice , was also clearly much richer and tastier.
Perhaps the two dishes that packed some punch, was the spicy ikan bilis and the stewed three layer pork.
For a stall renowned for it's traditional curry rice and ability to draw one a famous and substantial crowd, I was really disappointed. I am subscribing to the theory that they do better and fresher in the very late evening and super early morning.
And so it seems, for good authentic Hainanese curry rice, either go breakfast brunch time , or late supper time... hmmm, we are one strange 'german chicken' (dialect joke).
