Sin Heng Kee Again


Where do you go when the curry rice at Beo Crescent seemed to have sold out of the popular pork chop? Sin Heng Kee!

After I told a friend about the wonderful curry rice at Beo Crescent, she wanted to go there for lunch. It was such a spur of the moment decision that by the time we arrived, it was around 1:45pm and almost all the dishes were gone.

As I usually went there very early (before 12noon), I was not sure when they actually shut down for the day. When we saw the tray of pork chop was gone, we thought it would not be replenish and so decided to go elsewhere.

Being in the Tiong Bahru area, I was racking my brains on where to go when suddenly I remembered the chicken rice stall at Hoy Fatt Road ~ Sin Heng Kee. So off we went to Alexandra/Jalan Bukit Merah area for another yummy comfort food.

We told the auntie we wanted a portion for 2 persons indicated the meat we would like ~ roasted chicken, roasted pork and char siew. We didn't add on the egg and tofu and it came to $7 for the above.

The roasted pork was so good. Well I liked the crispy skin which crackled when you bit into it. There was no porky taste either. The chicken was tender and the chili was very spicy. A little went a long way. I loved the soup which was full of veggies. The char siew was nice too, it was not dry or hard and the sweet sauce was not too cloying.

Blk 40 Beo Crescent Curry Rice


I went back to basics and took a friend to have curry rice at Blk 40 Beo Crescent. I kept driving to the Tiong Bahru area that I was starting to recognize and remember the area now.

All these for $4.40. The bestseller ~ pork chops so thin and crispy that I could not taste any meat at all. Perfect! This was my first time ordering, and decided to choose what a friend selected before for me. Curry veggies, a huge meat patty and over-easy egg along with the pork chop, with all the different types of gravy available.

So filling and so yummy. The curry or gravy really made a difference.
