Somerset Delicacies (#01-60 Maxwell Food Centre, 1 Kadayanallur Street) has been around for as long as I can remember. Never tried anything from them until today's yang zhou fried rice (扬州炒饭). I've a few thoughts. It's a decent rendition but not great by any stretch. To be fair, it's only $5 so that stretches only so far in these parts. They do use real char siew but those were finely minced and hence felt sparse. Some of the rice was visibly scorched and there was definitely smokiness. Am quite impressed that it didn't have excessive oil. Would be great if they could just add a bit more salt. Or fish sauce.
I'd put this in the category where I wouldn't mind eating it again but I don't think I'll have a hankering for it.
