中峇鲁李鸿记, Lee Hong Kee Cantonese Roasted

Barbecued Char Siew Rice ($3)

Roasted Pork Rice ($3)

I wanted to tell you about Tiong Bahru Market Lee Hong Kee for the longest time - Dad's favorite char siew rice stall. He will always be beaming away satisfactorily as he tucked into his plate, and in between toothless bites, reminisced, "This is how we used to have our char siew rice, you know! It has to be like this! With this dark sauce..."

The flavorsome dark sauce is only lightly salted and really enhances the otherwise plain grains. I thought the dark sauce actually overshadowed the implicit roast works. As with all like-minded people; it is now only 1130hrs, and we already have a long queue to join.

I have to buy this for Dad soon...
