There’s an urban legend in Singapore about a fat Hainanese man who used to sell a curry rice dish made with rice, gravy, pork, eggs and cabbages. He sold hundreds everyday for a dollar each and the dish was called Scissors Rice because he supposedly cut the pork chops with scissors. The old man passed away in the 80’s and although his wife valiantly tried to keep the business going, it failed in location after location. Now, there is a stall in Singapore called Tien Seng Mixed Curry Rice and insiders and gourmands insist that it must be opened by ex-employees since it tastes exactly the same as the original. None of this has anything to do with us living in HK, unless we’re planning a trip to Singapore soon, of course. Bar of Soup, however, are taking on the challenge and is serving their version of Scissors Rice this Sunday (3rd Aug) starting from noon onwards. Go have a try and may the memory of the nameless fat Hainanese man live on. 37 Staunton St., Soho, 2522-2595.
