Need To Try These

This Hong Kong style roasted meat stall in Tampines really caught us by surprise! We tried three of their meats and the choice is easy; come here for the shiok roast duck! 😝

The duck is tender and slightly sweet but man, is that skin on that bird just so good! Theirs retained a slight crackle that's so hard to find at roasted meat stalls. The char siew here is good too, with a good amount of fat and char on it. Definitely a plate of goodness I wouldn't mind returning to. 😋

If you're just looking for a simple plate of roasted duck noodles, it'll just set you back a nifty $3.80.

This humble stall in the basement of Golden Mile Food Centre dishes out authentic Peranakan food at very affordable prices. Chef-owner Charlie is no stranger to the food scene, having set up his previous restaurant along East Coast Road eight years ago. For maximum satisfaction, bring a small group of friends so you can try more dishes. We especially love the Ayam Buah Keluak ($7) — Charlie's rendition sees a generous amount of buah keluak flesh scraped out from its nut, mixed with minced pork before being stuffed back into the shell. It's also used in the gravy, which helps to make it thicker and richer. Share the tender Beef Rendang ($7), Chap Chye ($2) and the Lok Kai Yik ($20), a Cantonese dish of stewed chicken wings, pork innards and taupok that we hardly see on menus nowadays. Its distinct pink yummy broth comes from long hours of stewing the dish with fermented red yam. So comforting!

If you're hungry and in the Duxton area, head straight for this messy, brimming plate of Big Prawn Hor Fun ($16, good for 3-4). The rich gravy is full of umami, super prawn-y, and just a tiny bit spicy. The prawns are, well, big and so very succulent — well worth the price and the wait and you'll want to bring anyone you know here.
