Katong Nan Xiang Chicken Rice
Very popular with the easterners, this “chicken rice” stall located in a corner coffeeshop along Tanjong Katong Road offers more than just chicken rice. On this day, we had 4 different types of roast meat (roast duck, roast chicken, roast pork and char siew) for a very satisfying lunch.
I thought the roast duck was average but I really enjoyed the rest of the meat platters.
Do not judge the char siew by its uneven char! With one side almost totally burnt and the other looking dry with a dull orange-brown hue, I was initially not very impressed by what I saw too. But my doubt turned into profound joy with the first bite of the char siew. My taste-bud exploded with sweet and savoury flavour and the right balance of fats simply melted in my mouth.
The roast chicken was old-school succulent. The thin shiny skin was not crispy but it was really flavourful with its marinade permeating the tender meat. The sio bak (roast pork) had a salty crispy skin with distinct layers of

Ashley's Birthday Dinner
For as long as I can remember, my eldest has always requested duck for her birthday dinners. This year is no exception.
Chef Wang Fried Rice
We were second in the queue when we reached the food centre during lunch time and I waited only 5 minutes for the familiar Din-Tai-Fung-style (DTF) fried rice.
The reported long queue when it first opened last year was nowhere to be seen but I was impressed. I think the shorter queue has allowed Chef Wang to focus more and ensure his food quality.
The pork chop was well marinated and tender and the pearl rice grains well separated and infused with wok hei. I really enjoyed the humble fried rice dish especially the sambal belacan version. The sambal really elevates the fried rice flavour to another level.
