One of the best roast meat stall in Singapore, not only for their food, but also for the owner's generosity and hospitality. They are always very candid and friendly. On the weekends and without the cbd lunch crowd, you'll see lots of older folks patronising their stall. I've seen them offering free food or charging them at a lower price, it is a heartwarming sight. I love supporting this stall for these reasons.

Hi Richard, for real singapore foods, if you do not mind the heat, wander to the heartlands or what we call hawker centres or coffeeshops. The hawker stalls are absoulutely hygenic and are regulated by the government via a hygiene cert. Whats more, its cheaper!

I chance upon this stall during lunch time, they open at around 12.30, During lunch time at around 12pm, you could see a queue, but in all honesty, they are one of the best roast meat in Singapore, Super friendly service(Especially the guy serving you, super joker) and the price is super reasonable. Maybe you can try Foong Kee and the stall at the corner of the street above them, I think they are called dong gui roast duck or something.

That's a really good find Gregory. Just looking at it makes me wanna go there now... You should also try this shop called Toh Kee Roasted Meat (Chinatown) has been around since 1926 and is apparently the oldest roasted meat stall in Singapore. Must-tries definitely include their roasted duck, roasted pork and char siew. I have been going to this shop for about 40 years now. And another called Foong Kee Roasted Meat @ 6 Keong Saik Road. Apparently their wonton is one of the best in town. These 2 shops are the top of my list...

Gregory Leow When meat is slow cooked for several hours it becomes fall-apart tender and full of meaty flavour, but this is tender with a firm bouncy consistency and we know it wasnt cooked for many many hours so i guess it is tenderized.

@@GregoryLeow whether this particular stall uses chemicals or not, we would not know, but I doubt it. roast people are usually quite purist... Actually, this has always been a hotly debated topic. Apart from meat quality, the method of preparation is all important. There are 2 schools of thought. One is straight up marinate for at least 10 hours, low and slow until meat is tender, then increase the heat dramatically to finish for the crispy skin, scrapping many times along the way. The other method is similar, except that the meat is cooked by boiling first. The meat is actually boiled tender then rested and surface dried by fan even before the roasting starts. There are several advantages to this method. The meat loses less mass and the meat can be quite tender while retaining good moisture. the oven can now operate at a much higher temp because meat is already cooked through and the roasting is mainly for crust and the ultra crispy skin. Every roast guy has a different way of doing it, but I notice shallow boil with skin side down and water just about 1.5 inch below the top being the most common method..... I tried both methods in Hong Kong, and honestly, most of the people I was with felt that the straight roast method is superior. I did a blind test and bought both styles. These same people mostly chose the boil method, stated better moisture, tenderness, and not as salty but meat was seasoned all the way through. It is surprising, but I actually prefer the boil method. I think it takes a lot less skill and tending to get superior results. You must taste them side by side for yourself.
