Lau Di Fang Scissors Cut Curry Rice at Tiong Bahru Plaza

A popular scissors-cut curry rice stall at Tiong Bahru Plaza, serving Hainanese-style curry rice with a variety of toppings.

Lau Di Fang brings the iconic scissors-cut curry rice tradition to Tiong Bahru Plaza, offering a hearty plate of Hainanese-style curry rice that is as comforting as it is affordable. The stall takes its name from the scissors used to snip crispy pork cutlets, braised cabbage, and other toppings directly onto a bed of rice, all drenched in a thick, fragrant curry gravy.

The result is a messy, soul-warming plate that has earned a loyal following. The topping selection is impressively varied, including pork chops, prawn fritters, braised eggs, and ngoh hiang, allowing diners to build their ideal combination. The curry itself is mildly spiced and slightly sweet, coating every grain of rice in a rich, savoury sauce.

The stall operates within the food court setting, so expect a casual, queue-up atmosphere where the focus is on speed, value, and generous portions. For a classic Singaporean hawker experience that delivers maximum flavour for minimum dollars, Lau Di Fang at Tiong Bahru Plaza is a solid choice.
