Some call this famous stall the “No Name Hainanese Curry Rice”, others say “Beo Crescent Hainanese Curry Rice”.
According to netizens on “Singapore Heritage Food”, the stall at Beo Crescent will cease operations on 30 September 2025.
The coffeeshop has been sold, and the owners have been told to vacate in October 2025 (as the kopitiam will go through renovations).
Update: The stall is still “hoping for the best” and in talks with the new coffeeshop owners to continue operating at the current location.
Opened in 1988, it has been well-loved by Tiong Bahru residents for its shiok curry, crispy pork, prawn fritters and braised pork.
Over the years, it has drawn long queues of diners ordering Hainanese Curry Rice cai png style.
The stall is about a 10 minutes’ walk from Tiong Bahru MRT station, in a “Roxy Square Kopitiam” coffee shop next to Beo Crescent Food Centre.
Queues are always a daily sight, with dishes often selling out early.
Since the news of their impending closure, the line has gotten much longer.
Dishes include Crispy Pork, Lor Bak or Braised Pork, Curry Chicken, Char Siew, Minced Meat Patty, Chap Chye, Egg and Seafood such as Sotong (seasonal pricing).
Each serving of Curry Rice can come with three kinds of sauces: lor bak sauce, chap chye gravy, and their signature ayam curry.
The Crispy Pork is their signature item, marinated overnight, battered and double-fried till extra crunchy.
For a saucier option, the Braised Pork comes drenched in a dark, herbaceous sauce.
Other favourites include the Battered Prawns, coated in cereal and coarse bread crumbs for crunch, and the Chap Chye, stewed until tender yet still flavourful.
A fried egg on top ties it all together when the yolk blends into the rice and gravies.
There has always been something comforting about this stall, and for many in the neighbourhood, it has been a taste of home for more than 30 years.
With its closure coming soon, fans may want to make one last visit before 30 September — while hoping the owners manage to reopen here or at a new spot nearby.
