We've heard about 88 Hong Kong Roast Meat Specialist for some time now and have never gotten to try their roasts until today. The media, relatives and friends. Have not yet heard a bad thing about them. This was their relatively new branch at Far East Square (19 China Street, tel : +65 8225 2495).
Pretty impressed with their fatty char siew and tender roast pork with the crunchy crackling. It's as good as what people are claiming. Duck's decent but not outstanding compared to their pork roasts. Egg's okay. Haven't tried their original stall at Tyrwhitt Road to be able to determine if there are differing standards but perhaps it's not going to matter for now. This location was much more accessible
Wanton's decent too. Again, nothing outstanding but I wouldn't mind having them again. Check out those pieces of fried lard in the soup.
The gravy was delicious. Sweet and full bodied without being starchy. Each mouthful of rice was a decision between gravy, roasted chilli or both. Will definitely be back.
