From Ji De Lai Roasted Delights & Double Boiled Soup from this coffeeshop situated a stone’s throw away from Layar LRT Station in Senngkang; have heard quite a bit about the Char Siew here, and must say that I was not disappointed here. The noodles come all springy here with a good bite; slightly alkaline despite being tossed with the savoury and lightly spicy sauce (if one opts for chilli that is, though should be pretty manageable for most), though the alkaline-y flavour was not particularly bothersome in our opinion. The Char Siew is the main star of the show here; the dark, caramelised exterior providing sweetness to the meat, while the meat itself came with fattier parts that is tender, but not too gelatinous — pretty delicious even on its own. Wantons were also pretty decent overall; reasonably filled with meat whilst the skin comes at an apt thickness that does not break too easily, but holds up well to the chopstick. A pretty good find within the neighbourhoods of Sengkang; a hidden gem indeed!
