The story
Tucked into a bustling corner of Seng Poh Road, Loo's Hainanese Curry Rice holds a solid 4.2-star reputation as one of Singapore’s most beloved hawker stalwarts. Food vlogger Mark Wiens calls it “a legendary hawker stall serving one of the highest rated Hainanese curry rice,” highlighting a 3-day curry recipe that he describes as “pure comfort.”
This is no-frills, counter-seating eating at its best—buzzy, local, and walk-in only. The go-to order, as Wiens demonstrated, is the Hainanese Curry Rice with Pork Chop and Sambal Squid, a plate that layers rich, slow-simmered gravy over rice with crisp, spicy accompaniments. It’s humble, satisfying, and exactly the kind of dish that keeps regulars coming back.

“Oh yeah, that is the definition of a comfort curry. It's like a blanket that covers your tongue and your taste buds in flavor with this kind of sticky saucy texture to it. And as you take that bite, it's like the flavors just keep on growing and coming. It's not a heavy like curry powder flavor, but it's that mellow, soothing, comforting curry powder flavor with just enough cumin, just enough turmeric in there to make you smile, but not overpowering because of that sticky texture. It absorbs into the rice and it coats that pork chop with the crispiness. So, you've got so many different textures going on at the same time. It's very tasty. This place is legendary. They've been around for generations, but their curry recipe takes 3 days to make because of the complexity, the steps, the strategy. You taste three days of flavor in that curry sauce. The pork chop is breaded and fried but somehow just smothered in curry. It still remains crispy. That is a dish that will just make you smile. So much flavor. Such a incredible unimaginable combination of ingredients all within a soggy pool on your plate. And the more you mix and the more you stir and the more you mingle everything together, the better it gets.”
