From Foong Kee
叉烧 烧肉
The crackling pork belly skin is irresistible, while the savoury char siu is tender and full of flavour.
Not bad indeed!

烧鸭
The duck skin is crispy, while the duck meat is tender, good balance and flavour.
Indeed satisfying!

Foong Kee was returned, and this time at Commonwealth Crescent Market and Food Centre.

Having eaten at their Keong Saik Outlet before its closure back in 2021. Already expect good food here, and was not disappointed. My other half having this for the first time agreed that the Sio Bak was very good.

Sio Bak excellent. Crispy skin, tender meat.

Char siew with its charred edges was very good too. Meat had a good meat and fat ratio.

Come earlier if u want roasted duck. By the time i came at 12.30pm, no more roasted duck liao

Foong kee is back!! Beautifully roasted meats as usual. The queue speaks volumes. The charsiew is nicely caramelised, tender yet not too fatty. Roast pork has a crisp skin, meat is surprisingly juicy given that it’s quite lean, and isn’t too salty. Rice is average, but paired with a savoury sweet sauce, and refreshing sliced cucumbers. Come before 12.30, because you’ll have to queue for a bit and they sold out by the time we left at about 1.30pm on a Sat.

Their wanton mee is v nice! It’s thin & very springy, coated in a light sauce (I think it might be sesame oil + their charsiew sauce?). V similar to feifei roasted noodles @ yuhua (my fav!). But I did feel like there was a slight alkaline taste.

Wantons had quite a decent amount of meat filling, liked that they used water chestnuts so there was the cronch element.

The charsiew is really good - it’s tender and juicy, there’s a nice mix of fatty + lean parts, and the ends have a nice slight char so those parts are crisp. It is feels “cleaner” and not as sinful compared to other charsiews out there, but still v delicious so I liked it a lot!

They’re closing on 15 June because the owner wants to take a rest! We actually queued almost 3 hours for this on sat. It’s a v nice satisfying meal, glad we tried it before it closed, since it’s been on my wishlist since 2 years ago hahaha

Got a long time never eat roast food such as char siew and also roasted meat ($5) at outside because I always taobao back home for neighbourhood coffee shop. Didn't expected that char siew got that strong charocal taste but I felt that its quite fattening for me. Probably need to request for lean meat. I also like their roasted meat not that salty and also fattening too. 😅
