Review:

When one travels to Maxwell Food Centre especially on a weekday lunch, you will definitely not miss out on a really long queue of people waiting to eat from this stall.

As a typical curious Singaporean, I decided to join in the queue to check out what was so great about their food.

This store called Hainanese Curry Rice or “China Street Hainanese Curry Rice stall” is widely famous for their fried pork chop, meatballs, cabbage and of course, curry!

Although I had to queue behind what adds up to about almost 20 people, what got my attention was how efficient the workers worked and it was soon my turn! For an added bonus, their serving portions were very generous for a typical hawker stall.

Tried their famous combo of pork chop with egg, meatball and cabbage, with a generous serving of curry sauce drizzled or rather, soaked onto my plate of rice.

Even though it may look like what is served normally at other stalls, the food was really irresistible!

The pork chop was well marinated, crispy and thin. Their hand-made meatballs were also very soft and just a bite of it would allow the juices to flow out to your mouth, making you so willing want to have another bite.

What I loved the most was the cabbage! I am not usually a fan of cabbage because their soggy appearance along with their plain taste which really puts me off. However, I was taken aback when their cabbage was cooked to perfection (not soggy yet not too hard) and it was full of taste and very flavorful! The curry was another wow factor, not displeasing to the tongue at all!

Overall, I really enjoyed my lunch and it was really worth the wait. I can’t wait to come down to Maxwell Food Centre again to satisfy my cravings! You’ve got to come down to this stall and give it a try!

Verdict:

9/10
