From Tong Shun at Jalan Kayu, which seems to be a fairly new establishment which had opened along the same stretch of eateries as Soon Huat Bak Kut Teh. Having their focus on their roast meat offerings, it is said that their recipe for their roast meats are from Ipoh, Malaysia.

Between the two, we felt that the Char Siew left a very memorable impression — done in true Malaysian style, the Char Siew was sweet, juicy, tender and succulent; the cut served being fatty and melt-in-the-mouth yet carrying enough bite. Coated in a sweet and sticky sauce on the exterior, the Char Siew is pretty much stellar in its own right — very flavourful and a must-have indeed. In contrast, the Roast Pork was a little less outstanding; no doubt done well considering how it does not come with porky stench. That being said, the Roast Pork came with a slightly leaner cut as compared to the Char Siew; still savoury, though the crackling skin could be more crisp overall. Quite impressed with what we had ordered here for the most part, including the Fragrant Signature Fried Rice that came with loads of seafood (i.e. scallops, sliced fish and prawns) for $8.80 — somewhere which I am most inclined to visit yet again!
