As we count down to the easing of the circuit breaker, how about a charcoal roasted meat feast? This week, have a gorgeously smokey set meal from RV Roasted Delight delivered straight to your doorstep at a reasonable price! Their meal sets for three to 8 people range from $21.80 to $71.80 and set meals for two range from $18.80 – 20.80, which is the one I chose. Package C for 2 consists of ¼ roast duck (upper quarter – which means I got a lovely juicy leg, breast meat and a little rib meat), plus an extra choice of 2 meats – choose from roast duck, chicken, char siew, roasted crispy pork belly or sausage. I went with the classic combo of roasted pork and char siew. White rice and oyster sauce vegetable with fried shallot rounded off the meal.

The roasted duck, in my opinion was the clear winner – really beautifully seasoned, with quite a refined taste that wasn’t too game-y or overpowering.

ROASTED MEATS RULE GHIM MOH!

This week, Roasted Meat fans, Our Makan Kaki, Chef-Owner of Summer Hill Bistro, Anthony Yeoh has a treat for you. If you’re looking for Malaysian Cantonese style roasted meat, you’ve got to pay this Ghim Moh stall a visit.

Jiu Jiang Shao La (九江烧腊) often boasts super-long queues & for good reason. First of all, their meats are roasted fresh in a roaster right in their stall. The result is quality meat that has customers coming back over and over for more.

If you’re looking for really good roasted meats done traditionally by a guy who absolutely knows what he’s doing, you have got to try Yee Kee in the Bukit Merah/ Redhill area. For Char Siew, Sio Bak, Roasted Duck and all things beautifully burnished and carnivorously charred, this is our Makan Kaki Lee Chin Sin‘s go-to stall!

Why is it Chin Sin’s first choice for roasted meats? First of all, all dishes come with a serving of salted vegetable soup, which is a delightful foil to the rich, fatty meats.

Secondly, the uncle manning the stall, when he’s not too busy dealing with his streams of customers, is friendly and refreshingly candid. Case in point – when asked which is the best part of the duck to order, rather than recommend the more expensive thigh meat, he advised Chin Sin to go for a cheaper, but much tastier part, in his opinion. By the way, that part is just adjacent to the thigh, kind of the duck version of chicken oysters.

While we’re on the meats, everything here is done simply but so skillfully and deliciously. You really can’t go wrong ordering their Roasted Duck or Sio Bak (both pictured). The Sio Bak, in particular, is outstanding. Tender meat and a delightfully crisp crackling, as you can see in the picture!
