Tried Yan Chuan Roasters' newest dine-in concept at Kitchener Complex, which take over the former space of now-defunct Porn's Thai Boat Noodee. All meats are served in a set here, which includes Mantou or Rice, as well as a soft drink by the side.

While the flavours of spice rub was pretty evident with the roasted pork, and that the skin comes all crisp and crackling, the meat felt a tad dry, whilst also being a little boney — not particularly matching especially for those opting for the Mantou option. Mantous also felt a little tired; almost verging towards mushy considering how it was over-steamed. Also not particularly a fan of the sauce served at the side; something similar to our local Chee Cheong Fun sweet sauce, though that is probably my own preference (which is also why I prefer the HK rendition of Chee Cheong Fun). That being said, this was still better than their rendition of the Peking Roast Duck, which is probably not too fantastic after all.
